so-soSadly, I was a bit underwhelmed with this one. The premise is interesting—female journalist in WWI era stumbles upon a dead body, and she is determined to find out whodunit. While I appreciate the historical facts placed into the narrative, it leaves the flow of the story a bit disjointed. I may consider reading book two at some point, but am not in a hurry to pick it up.

#Bibliophile catch up
I don‘t have an extensive #PoetryCollection so these two new books are a welcome addition. The tagged book is a prize from @TheBookHippie & the Oliver I picked up on #IndependentBookstoreDay last weekend.
Hurray! It‘s here and thank you, @TheBookHippie 🥰 Can‘t wait to dive in right after I finish Rapture and Melancholy with #SundayBuddyRead 💗📚
pickReally enjoyed it 😁
It's a very light-hearted read, yet there are some deeper reflections in the final part.
Sometimes l though the plot was a little unlikely, but then, it is a humorous take and it works like that.
I also enjoyed reading about the New Woman (one of my favourite historical topics) from a contemporary. Yes, the complexity of this figure dies come out.
I looked for other stories by this author, but he seems quite forgotten.
pickThis graphic nonfiction about a man I never knew before reading this was terrific. Eugene Bullard was the first African-American combat pilot, and this is his story.
The artwork is gorgeous, and the story is informative and heartfelt.
Highly recommend, even if graphic novels aren't your usual read.
pickI love when I learn something new from a book, and I almost always do with historical fiction. In this novel, I learned of the important role that the Chinese played in France during WW1. The story gave a good perspective from both the Chinese and the French side. I did the audio version, and found the narrators very good. I read this book as part of the Goodreads 52 Week Challenge.
