pickI thoroughly enjoyed this well-written, literary cozy, with a finely woven mystery and a truly admirable heroine. The second in the atmospheric Bess Crawford mystery series, set in England and France during WWI. Excellent reading.
This was my #ReadOrDonate selection for August. I‘m so glad I finally got around to reading it!

Losing steam on this book, but there‘s a week left of #summerjob anyways. #summerreading #queer #horror
bailedWell this is a bummer. I am going to Prague for the first time next week and I was hoping to get some history under the belt before I left. This book looked promising it is all about the year 1913 and the lead up to WWI. Unfortunately the format is just not working for me. It is like reading tweets from the year. You have to know everyone already (I know must but still) and you just get these tiny tidbits about what 300 people did each month
so-soI'll be the first to admit historical fiction is not really my thing. I did appreciate the story but it never really fully engaged me. I also found it hard to believe that identical twins would have such vastly different capabilities which took me out of the story. I'm sure people that love historical fiction would have a good time with this it's most likely a case of me not the book.
Yay for #roll100 picks! Sind I've already started reading my number 77 today, I took a look at my extra list and added Nr. 117 instead. I'm really curious about Babel.
