The Black Notebook | Patrick Modiano, Georges Borchardt

pick

This falls squarely in the 'literary mystery' camp (i.e. the not-fun kind 😋) , so not #kisskissbangbang in the traditional sense, but still fits I think. Modiano plays with the pieces of a mystery novel- mysterious woman, shady characters, lurid night scenes...murder. But instead of an A to B chronology, the MC remembers portions from different times, triggered by fragments of notes he took decades ago. Singular style with atmosphere to spare 🏙

Billypar Thanks @Robothugs for a great month of songs & books for #tuneintonovember ! Looking forward to December @Cinfhen 😃🎶🎁 7y

Kiss Me, Kill Me: Ann Rule's Crime Files | Ann Rule

#TuneIntoNovember #KissKissBangBang 💋💋💥💥I went with a mix of mystery/thrillers & the tagged book of true crime stories with 'kiss' in their titles as there's definitely some 'bang bang' in these too.😆 I've read & enjoyed them all-especially the Karin Slaughter & J.T. Ellison series. A Kiss Before Dying is old school but the book & both movies (1956 & 1991) are worth reading & watching. Mahalo @Cinfhen & @Robothugs for the fun 🎼challenge.💋💋

Robothugs Nicely done 😉 7y

Cinfhen 💋💋🔫🔫 7y

DebinHawaii @Cinfhen Ahh, there was a 🔫emoji! I missed it and went for explosion 💥😆👍 7y

Streets of Laredo | Larry McMurtry

I have never really been a fan of action-packed #kisskissbangbang type novels, so I was surprised to fall in love with Lonesome Dove. Since finishing #lonedove I have been excited to read the rest of the series but am unsure which book to read next 🤔 There seem to be differing opinions on whether to continue in the order the books were published vs following the chronological life of the characters. Any thoughts on this??
#tuneintonovember

Cinfhen, Robothugs

Tamra I‘ve read them and I don‘t recall it mattering. 7y

Suet624 Haven‘t read any of the others but now I want to! 7y

Reviewsbylola Very interesting. I planned on reading the rest in order. 7y

JanuarieTimewalker13 The only LM book, I've ever read was The Loop Group. Don't remember what I thought of it...read it years back 7y

emilyhaldi @Reviewsbylola which order!? 7y

Reviewsbylola They are numbered books. My spines are numbered 1-4 so I was going to go with that. 7y

LeahBergen I read Lonesome Dove first and then read the others in order of publication (Laredo, Dead, Comanche). Hmm... I think you‘d probably have more fun reading them chronologically (Dead, Comanche, Laredo). I always recommend starting with Lonesome Dove, though, which so SO goes against my anal-retentive need to always read a series in order. 😆 7y

LeahBergen @Reviewsbylola 👆🏻 7y

Reviewsbylola Yes, chronologically is how they are numbered so I just figured I‘d go with that! I‘m glad I read LD first though since that‘s the one most loved and most well known. @LeahBergen 7y

Daisey I'll be curious to follow this conversation because I'm going to need to read some more of this series as well. 7y

Bookzombie I read Lonesome Dove first and then Streets of Laredo. I‘m going to read the first 2 next year and reread the last 2 on audio as I hear it‘s very good. I like to read series in order but honestly these can go either way. I have seen all of the movies and you can watch them in any order too. 7y

Cinfhen Look at you!!!! #cowgirl 7y

Thunderball | Ian Fleming

#tuneintonovember
The phrase Mr #kisskissbangbang was first used by an Italian journalist to describe James Bond. John Barry then used it as a song title to be the ‘Thunderball‘ theme. Both Shirley Bassey and Dionne Warwick recorded #kisskissbangbang but last minute they switched to ‘Thunderball‘ by Tom Jones.
This gorgeous coffee table book was a Birthday gift last yr and the 1961 Pan paperback was my Dads, that I rescued from a donation box!

Cinfhen, Robothugs

Robothugs well done!! 😁👏🏻 7y

Cinfhen Awesomeness🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻love EVERYTHING about this post!!! Great pic & choice💜 7y

A Brief History of Seven Killings | Marlon James

There is a lot of #kisskissbangbang in this book 💋😘💣🔫 I were so impressed when I read it, because what James has done isn't easy. However, I didn't love it, I just didn't connect with it enough.

Thanks for a fun month of #TuneintoNovember! 👏👏

Cinfhen, Robothugs

Robothugs I kept seeing this at the bookstore and not picking it up! I think I need to get myself a copy. 7y

jillannjohn This has been on my TBR for a long time.... 7y

RebelReader I've had this on my TBR shelf for over a year. I feel guilty since he lives right here in Minnesota and I haven't read any of his work! 🙁🙁 7y

Cinfhen His story crafting is incredible @RebelReader @jillannjohn @Robothugs 7y

Kalalalatja @Robothugs @jillannjohn @RebelReader I agree with @Cinfhen it is worth reading for the craftmanship alone. Also, it is a great and consuming read 👌 7y

RebelReader @Kalalalatja @Cinfhen You've convinced me! It's going on my #recommendationschallenge2018! 😜 7y

erzascarletbookgasm I‘ll participate of course! 🤘Will do my best, some of this month‘s are tricky for me 😅 7y

Cinfhen Same @erzascarletbookgasm 🙈but I get inspired from seeing all the other awesome posts!!! 7y

Robothugs It was so much fun!! @erzascarletbookgasm I heard that a lot this month 😅 you don‘t necessarily need to use books. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I liked the idea of making them challenging! But like @Cinfhen said, other posts can inspire you! Sometimes I listen to the songs more than once and see what book or character they remind me of! 7y

alisiakae I‘m looking forward to #DecDays!! Especially the Hamilton Hanukkah prompt! 7y

Cinfhen It's such a fun spoof @4thhouseontheleft They preformed their Hamilton Hanukkah Rap at the White House last year 😂 7y

alisiakae @Cinfhen I remember that! I guess the Hamilton performances at the White House are over. 😞 I loved the last one they did for the Obamas, One Last Time, I couldn‘t stop crying!! 7y

Reviewsbylola The Larsson series is a favorite of mine but I just can‘t bring myself to read the new ones. 7y

Cinfhen I bought the last one by David Lagercrantz and it was pretty bad but since I won this book I'm gonna give it a try! The reviews are terrible @Reviewsbylola 7y

Reviewsbylola I love Blomkvist and Lisbeth too much to ruin them. 7y

emilyhaldi Wow am I the only one who didn‘t know this series was being continued by a different author?? Why?! 7y

Cinfhen Maybe you actually have a life @emilyhaldi because clearly I do not and neither does @Reviewsbylola 😂😘😜 7y

Reviewsbylola Guilty as charged. 😂 7y

Reviewsbylola I believe Larson‘s family and/or estate was involved with this new author. Don‘t quote me on that though. @emilyhaldi 7y
