Seems I'm into these two time periods, too.
LES MIS: 1830s Paris
THE SECRET OF CHIMNEYS: 1920s London
WIVES AND DAUGHTERS: 1830s Hollingford, UK (modeled after Cheshire)
“The Problem of Thor Bridge“: 1920s Hampshire, UK

And where are you in your book(s) today? 🤩

willaful I'm in Edwardian London, with an honorable cop and a perhaps psychic graphologist who has good reason to distrust the police... 5m

Every Man Dies Alone | Hans Fallada

#whereareyoumonday

I‘m in Nazi Germany this week. Not a fun place. But I think this is going to be a good book - worth reading and a particularly timely reminder.

The Remarkable Truths of Alfie Bains | Sarah Clutton

Back in my home state, a fictional town called Beggar Rocks (which has a strong resemblance to Stanley including the home of Tassie's only Prime Minister and The Nut)

And it has a map!

The Ten Thousand Doors of January | Alix E. Harrow

The asylum January is sent to seems to be inspired by the Brattleboro Retreat in Vermont. In 1887, patients built a lookout tower as part of their treatment, but later, many tragically jumped from the top. The tower was eventually sealed off, but eerie stories about it & the surrounding areas still persist.

The Country of the Pointed Firs and Other Stories | Sarah Orne Jewett

#whereareyoumonday

While still visiting Norway and England in other books, today I am concentrating on Costal Maine, the setting of this collection of stories/vignettes by Sarah Orne Jewett, who was a writer much admired by Willa Cather.

Ruthiella @Cathythoughts It‘s very quiet with a lot of landscape descriptions. I think I can see where it might have inspired Cather. 1w

Andrea313 This is on my list, thank you for the encouragement to bump it up in my queue! I'm also loving these Smith & Taylor editions- so gorgeous. 💛 1w

Ruthiella @Andrea313 You are welcome. That is not the edition I am actually reading but I picked it for the picture because it is so pretty. 1w

I'm in Baltimore. Only 4 chapters in but this is good (and funny) so far.

All of Us Murderers | KJ Charles

#WhereAreYouMonday @Cupcake12

Just started the #ARC which is set in a very Gothic manor house in Dartmoor.

Pub Day is 7th October 2025

#NetGalley #MountARC

Blurb ⬇️

julesG ALL OF US MURDERERS is a wicked gothic drama that follows two ex-lovers trapped in a house dripping in fear, paranoia, and possibly something far darker. Worthy of fall reading lists for its spook factor and top of list for any romance readers who can handle a 🌶️🌶️🌶️ spice level. 1w

rubyslippersreads Love the vintage Gothic paperback cover! 1w

julesG @rubyslippersreads it's perfect 1w

CarolynM I‘m looking forward to this, but saving it for when I need a treat😊 4d

julesG @CarolynM were you lucky to snag an ARC too? 4d

CarolynM My bad, it‘s showing on my Apple Books app but when I look closely I see it‘s only there as a pre-order ☹️ Lucky I have Copper Script for a treat instead😆 4d

julesG @CarolynM That happens. I'll read Copper Script after All of us Murderers. 3d
