I should have bailed but I always get caught up in the “how will it end?!” drama; by the time the end was in site, I was at risk of eyeball injury and annoyed with the inconsistency and repetition. #May2025 Book41

Kudos for multiple strong female characters.

My #Roll100 book choices for April. This year's sociopolitical theme is providing a very informative yet steep learning curve. Which is exactly what I needed.

I love reading about notable women whose accomplishments are not as well known now. If you‘re looking to read about a mafia trial this is not that — that case is only a small part of the book. The rest of it is about a Black woman who became an attorney when that was rare and it covers her full life. It‘s by her grandson but he doesn‘t lionize her; her flaws are on view. It also has an added element of family lore vs public record.

When a little bookstore stamp sends you down the rabbit hole ! https://laist.com/news/la-history/stanley-rose-bookstore-literary-las-hottest-sp...

LoverOfLearning Oh yes! Love this! I'd be doing all the research too! 10mo
Ruthiella Thanks for the link. What a great, and kind of classic but melancholic LA trajectory. The Big Sleep is the only Chandler I‘ve read so far but I vividly remember the bookstore scene. 10mo
Leftcoastzen @Ruthiella Right?!😁struck a real cord with me , I used to live in Long Beach , Musso & Frank is one of my favorite places, wish I could go right now! 10mo

Soft pick. I liked the characters, but I feel the story didn‘t really get interesting until it was halfway over. I did like the last half though; therefore I gave it a pick. I got in some good walks today. Now I need to find a new #audiowalk book.
