There was a lot of info here. Luckily, Goldberg writes in a very engaging, witty, and humorous way; other wise it would've read like a dry history text. The individual POVs from each side were interesting and enlightening and sometimes frustrating. Overall, a very worthy read.

This completed a second bingo for the month; yayyy!

79/62

Big Little Spies is the 7th book in the Paws and Claws Cozy Mystery Series. I loved being back in Wagtail. I enjoyed visiting Trixie and Twinklefoots. I think you should probably read these books in order. That way, you have the background of the town and main characters. It may be confusing to you if you don't start with book one, which is: Murdered, She Barked.

😊Happy Reading 😊

I actually finished a book, first one in days. This book has sat on my physical shelf for years so helping clear off my TBR
This was an overall enjoyable story, possibly a soft pick, but at times I felt it was overly convoluted & therefore the book was longer than it needed to be.
A few personal surprises for Bosch along the way. I find that whilst I enjoy the Bosch books it gets a bit boring with the runs in with Internal Affairs #SeriesLove2024

Andrew65 Perhaps I should tag this #UnpopularOpinion 1d

Boy, the last chapters of this were so intense. Can't wait for the discussion with #Shardlakeians at the end of the month. @dabbe #ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove24 #ChunksterChallenge2024 @DieAReader @Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES @Amiable @TheSpineView

dabbe I don't know why, but it always surprises me that Henry VIII had a high-pitched voice--for such a (ahem) forceful man. I'm loving the reread and can't wait to chat either! 🤩

P.S. Since your post office is cray-cray right now, I emailed you a #LL letter! 💛🤎🧡

**Review contains a slight spoiler about a character's death**

One day, unhappy housewife Evelyn visits her mother-in-law at her new nursing home & gets talking to a resident there called Ninny Threadgoode. Well Ninny talks to Evelyn is more like it, but she starts to tell her about her life in Whistle Stop, a small town in Alabama in the 1920s & 1930s.

OutsmartYourShelf Despite herself, Evelyn is gradually drawn into Ninny's stories about the Threadgoode family especially Idgie, a rebellious tomboy who falls in love with a girl called Ruth Jamison & they open the Whistle Stop Cafe.

I saw the film probably a few years after it was released in 1991 & really liked it but haven't gotten around to reading the book until now.

OutsmartYourShelf It's a definite case of the film being better than the book & there are some big differences in the ending storyline. In the book, after Ruth's death, Idgie sort of disappears as a character & the reader doesn't really know what happened to her next. There's an epilogue which covers some of it but it was rather disappointing. I did like how Ninny's stories helped Evelyn turn her life around. 3.5🌟
1d
OutsmartYourShelf TWs: racial slurs & racism (major), domestic violence & terminal illness (moderate), implied cannibalism (hinted at).
