#WhereAreYouMonday

I am in the north of my own country, the Netherlands. On audio I‘ve been listening to this book which won many prizes upon its publication years ago but that I only read now because my favorite podcast hosts recommended it. I hope it‘s as good as they say!

Ruthiella Home sweet home! 😅 14h

There are three storylines and at about a quarter of the way in, they haven‘t yet converged. However, much of the story so far takes place in Camden Town, a borough of London. 🇬🇧

We‘ve got a sheltered girl whose mother was murdered, a possibly sociopathic boy who loves beautiful things, and the ex-girlfriend of a rock star looking for a new boyfriend to support her….no clue what happens next!

AmyG Rendell is the best. 17h

#WhereAreYouMonday
I'm excited to read this Christmas thriller because it sounds good but also because it's set in Colorado! Aspen, to be precise. I started it last night but fell asleep on approximately the 2nd page. I love the holiday season but end of year at work is exhausting. 😟
@Cupcake12

Ruthiella It is fun to read books set someplace one is familiar with! 😃 19h
bookandbedandtea @Ruthiella Absolutely! Plus, I feel like I went most of my life without ever reading a book set in Colorado so every time I come across one it gives me a little thrill. 🤪 9h

#whereareyouMonday

This Monday I‘m in 1980s New York City with Lieutenant Sigrid Harald of the NYPD. I‘ve only been to NYC once in the late ‘90s, but I know from books and other media that it was a little different then from now…grittier for sure. The reader gets a glimpse of this in this mystery series, but just a glimpse.

Had to use a different tagged title since “The Right Jack” isn‘t in the database.

BarbaraBB I‘m with you in NYC, unfortunately a few years later so we won‘t be able to meet up 😀 1w
Ruthiella @BarbaraBB Too bad! Maybe next time . 😂 1w

I'm in Evergreen, New Hampshire (I admit when I saw on the blurb this was set in "Evergreen" I was hoping it was the one in Colorado. Oh well, I rarely read a book set in New Hampshire so that could be a nice change.)

I'm also finishing up The Christmas Book Hunt, which has taken me from London to Hay-on-Wye (bucket list!!) to Alnir to Edinburgh.

Back in Egypt with the Emersons in 1916 or so who are up to their usual tricks of solving crime and making trouble. I‘m not a huge fan of the Ramses/Nefret storyline - too much “romance” for me, but I can tolerate it because the rest is just fun.

bookandbedandtea It's been a while since I dipped into this series but I'm tempted now because I LOVE the Emersons, especially Amelia herself and Ramses. I never really warmed up to Nefret but I didn't find it affected my enjoyment of the books. 💗 2w
Ruthiella @bookandbedandtea I do love this series. It‘s about as close to romance as I am comfortable with. One of the things I love most about Amelia and Emerson is the steadfastness of their relationship…no will they or won‘t they - they just are. 2w
DGRachel Angsty Ramses is my least favorite Ramses. 2w

Ruthiella @DGRachel Me too! I‘m just not built for that kind of tension! 😂 2w
bookandbedandtea @Ruthiella Yes! I love that they encounter (and create) all kinds of drama but their relationship is never in question! Communication issues drive me nuts. 2w
bookandbedandtea @DGRachel Yes there are a couple books where he's pretty angsty and those are not my favorites. 2w
DGRachel @bookandbedandtea I made the mistake of binging the whole series in an audio reread and I was ready to throw my phone across the room during the teen/20s Ramses nonsense. 😂 2w
Ruthiella @DGRachel 🤣🤣🤣 I have spaced out reading them over years and it still grates! (edited) 2w

I'm in Yorkshire, as what's left of a rather horrible family gathers to play what promises to be a horrible game.
@Cupcake12

Ruthiella I was in Yorkshire too literarily last week! Also with snow and murder, but a different book! 😅 2w
bookandbedandtea @Ruthiella I wonder what it is about the area that lends itself to murderous stories? I know I've read other murder mysteries set in Yorkshire.🤔😃 2w
