I was struggling with Count Robert of Paris (100p in and still no signe of Robert) and a book discussed with a friend became available at the library... I was expecting 170p of non fiction... Not 661p !

Went to a steampunk conférence in one of the town's librairies tonight. It was fun, a little wrong at times and not enough diverse examples to my taste but we got to see some very cool books and engravings. I ended up borrowing the tagged book...

Breakfast outside, enjoying the warmer weather. The book started almost Austen like but soon turned darker. 20 p left and I am not sure if it will ended up positively or not.

Le bouchon de cristal | Maurice Leblanc
post image

My last read was a little too heavy, so back to Lupin i go :)
Cuter book cover than the one on my epub. I wonder if they redid new editions with the netflix visuals ?

nanuska_153 How are the Lupin books? Used to love the cartoons when I was a kid 😅but didn't really enjoy the series that came out a couple of years ago 2mo
catsuit_mango @nanuska_153 i like the books, they are of course dated and some of the plots have been seen a lot since but they are well written and Lupin is a fun character. I never saw the cartoons, but my mom was a fan of the original series and I liked the new ones even if the plots are even more unrealistic than the original books :) 2mo
nanuska_153 @catsuit_mango he was very funny in the cartoons (and a bit of a pervert 😅) so I missed him being funny in the series. Might give one of the books a try, does it matter which one I start with? And if not, which one would you recommend? 2mo
catsuit_mango @nanuska_153 not much of a pervert in the books. There is a bit of an arc in the series and recurring characters, but not enough that you have to start from the first book. I have not read enough of them to have a favourite. You might like Lupin against Herlock Sholmes just for the parody of Holmes :) 2mo

Not exactly the tagged book, the french edition contains all of her stories, so for once I am not reading in the original version.

La Diagonale des reines | Bernard Werber

I have loved reading the Ants books as a teenager and some others as an adult (a friend of mine is a character in one of Werber's books), but for this one, I find the 2 main characters lack of empathy makes them hard to root for, plus revisitng recent history since the 70s feels like a lot of info dumping to someone who lived through most of it...

I like the rivers of London series, so much so that I had to check several times while reading the first chapter as it felt like I had already read this one. According to my logs, I did not but the Silver vaults of London felt familiar.... I wonder in which book I read about them ? Any idea ?
