I didn't *adore* this one, but as I've observed before, with these short story collections from the British Library Crime Classics collections, they're often more than the sum of their parts. It makes for a fun survey of classic crime in the period, and there were a couple I liked quite a bit -- R. Austin Freeman's stories are always so detailed, for instance.

Aaand that was my #BookSpin!

This is the #BookSpin, so I settled down to read it today! It's taking me a bit longer than I'd expected, quite a few of the short stories are quite long.

Half the time I am absolutely not using my new chair (a recliner) in the way it was designed, but it's cosy. Illustration: a photo I took earlier to show a friend my silliness.

Clare-Dragonfly Well you can‘t just sit *one* way in a recliner… or any chair… 2w
shanaqui @Clare-Dragonfly I was very tempted to turn completely upside down on it, but decided that was asking for trouble... 2w
