I‘ve heard great things about this series for years, so was glad to give it a try for the #BakerStreetIrregulars . I‘m so glad I did! Amelia Peabody is not your typical Victorian woman, and J loved her sarcasm and her views on society. It was also a nice intro to archaeology. I‘ve already purchased book 2! #192025 #1975 #BBRC #YeahBaby #PotCallingTheKettleBlack (Peabody and Emerson are so alike, it‘s like a mirrored image!).

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! I really enjoyed this one. 7d
dabbe Still can't believe #1975! 🤩😱😂 7d

Librarybelle I know, @dabbe !! 7d
CatLass007 @librarybelle @dabbe @thearomaofbooks I‘m so glad everyone is enjoying this new-to-me series. The author‘s real name was Barbara Mertz and in 1952 she earned a PhD in Egyptology. Under her own name she published two books of nonfiction that have never been out of print. She also wrote under the name Barbara Michaels. (edited) 7d
UwannaPublishme I really need to continue this series. I loved Amelia in this one! 6d
Librarybelle @CatLass007 I had not realized she wrote nonfiction too. Thanks! 6d
Librarybelle @UwannaPublishme It was so fun! 6d
CatLass007 You‘re welcome. 6d

CatLass007 I‘m still wondering what is going on and what‘s next. When will something actually happen? I‘m going to allow #thebros chapters 7 and 8 of this section, and I will decide on Sunday if I want to continue. 4mo
Bookwormjillk Today‘s chapter was much better than yesterday‘s but I‘m confused why they needed to air all this dirty laundry in front of a bunch of random monks and an elder. 4mo
Ruthiella @IndoorDame 🤣 @Bookwormjillk I‘m confused too. Was the Elder supposed to referee or adjudicate? If so, what is the significance of his actions, kneeling before Dimitry? 4mo
5feet.of.fury Who else googled “anthropophagy”? Or was that not in everyone‘s translation 😂 4mo
BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury either that wasn‘t in my translation or I glazed over it somehow 4mo
5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead there‘s a lot to glaze over in this argument between Ivan & Dmitri. I think I‘ve given up on understanding the subtext & tried to settle for just understanding the individual words 😂 4mo
mcctrish @IndoorDame this chapter was absolutely high court drama aka Judge Judy and yes @5feet.of.fury I did 😳 Fyodor is a piece of work imo #potcallingthekettleblack 4mo
IndoorDame @5feet.of.fury I did 😬 there are some words I didn‘t need to know we had in English 4mo
Ruthiella @5feet.of.fury I googled anthropophagy too! I assume it was ancestors worship and was startled to find it meant cannibalism .😱🤢 4mo
Cuilin @IndoorDame @mctrish I also got Jerry Springer vibes! Lol 4mo
IndoorDame @Cuilin hahaha 💯! 4mo
TheAromaofBooks @IndoorDame - for REAL 😂 4mo
