I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it. Some will be old, some will be new - don't judge me, I have a lot of books.
Day 160th
Join the fun if you want!

I used to read a lot of Fred Vargas' books and for a time forgot I liked her style. Adamsberg is a strange kind of policeman that you can not forget... I'm glad the library had it in epub format.
I went to my usual flea market today!
I sold a lot of books that I didn't like and buy new books!
With #Lasher I finally have all the books of #LivesoftheMayfairWitches!! I'm so happy! It took me a while!!

pickWhat to say about this book. Commissaire Adamsberg is at his most infuriating vagueness, on two seemingly disparate cases that have him chasing an itch all the way to Iceland. I love Adamsberg, but that is not the case with all of his subordinates. As with this entire series, it is one of the oddest books. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Met up with a couple of LibraryThing friends this afternoon at Social, here in Ottawa, for drinks and snacks. I had a variant of the Bee's Knees: Ungava gin, Earl Grey honey, and lavender bitters. Our snacks were squash fritters, mushroom flatbread, and salad with seared ahi tuna ( @DebinHawaii , don't tell Max 😹). Afterward we went to Librairie du Soleil and I bought the tagged book 😄
pickVargas is on top form in this mystery involving an ill-fated trip to Iceland, a group of Revolution re-enactors, and a tame wild boar called Eric.
pickClever, like always with Vargas. Vintage Vargas with a hint of supernatural that you can dismiss or embrace. I loved how Vargas never takes her reader for granted. As a reader you get the hints she lays out and slowly, slowly you realize where she's going and well... read and see. #julyinfrench
Happy 🇨🇦 Day.
July comes with me reading only French books. It's the time of the year where I catch up with my TRP of French books. My usual ratio is 2:1 English to French. I would rather read in the original edition or if not possible a good translation in French which can be hard to find for books translated from English. Vargas in well on its way to be an excellent one. #frenchbooks #julyinfrench

pickThis woman. NONE of her other series entice me. But the French detective? I can't not suck them down. He's what I wish I could be.
I was tagged by @tournevis
1- Eclectic. I read romance both historical and contemporary; mysteries, literature, adventure and sci-fi. Non fiction is my jam too. I can read ancient Greek history as well as Roman and a hockey romance.
2- Fred Vargas. i have all her books and ration them so I have at least one or two I haven't read.
3- Horror and violence against women type of book. i won't read Criminal Minds type of books anymore.
#aprilbookshowers Day 7. Women in translation.
(Yes, Fred is a woman)
Continuing my goal to read more books in translation. French crime novel. A series of murders with links to Iceland. I don't know -- look at the short description I think I HAVE to read this. @penguinusa
pickSpannend und verstörend wie jeder Adamsberg Krimi. Ich konnte ihn fast nicht aus der Hand legen und jetzt hab ich ein Schlaf Defizit. Ein muss für jeden Adamsberg Fan. ?
