A Few Right Thinking Men | Sulari Gentill

#Aprella #day8 #Homage Catching up again on this months challenge, I suck at deadlines! Ok, I think the “cozy Crime” series of today are an homage to the golden age of crime writing. Authors like Joseph Jefferson Farjeon, Dame Ngaio Marsh, Dorothy L Sayers, Josephine Tey & of course, the one & only Dame Agatha Christie were inspiration to the pictured authors. I‘ve been a lifelong Dame Agatha fan & love the series above as much #christiecrimeclub

emilyhaldi I love this. I still have never read Agatha Christie but she‘s on my list! Would her books be considered "cozy mysteries"? 8y

Lizpixie @emilyhaldi she‘s part of the “Golden Age Of Crime” which shares a lot with cozy‘s, but they‘re more of a serious version, not so fluffy & humorous as most cozy‘s are. You really should read her books, they‘re fantastic! I‘d start with

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

Cinfhen Love this collage 💕 8y

emilyhaldi Good to know! I tried Kerry Greenwood earlier this year and while the book was well-done, I decided cozy just isn‘t for me. But Christie might be more my speed! 8y

Mdargusch Christie is definitely not as fluffy as most cozy writers @emilyhaldi - you have to read at least one! (edited) 8y

kspenmoll Just finished reading a book published in 1878 that was read to Agatha Christie at Age 8 & whom she bases her habit on telling the story through dialogue on the the book/ author, Anna Katherine Green. Poirot mentions the book in The Clocks. The novel was was the assigned reading for Yale Law students. Worth a read, social & class issues in NYC at the time.

The Leavenworth Case: A Lawyer's Story

kspenmoll Took information from introduction to the book by Michael Sims 8y

Reviewsbylola I enjoyed the first Phryne Fisher! A lot of the authors you listed are ones I‘ve been meaning to read. 8y

The Annotated Emma | Jane Austen, David M. Shapard

#Aperella I had a busy weekend & missed 2 musical prompts so today, I'm attempting to do 3 prompts in one post.

When I hear #Supermodel I immediately think of the Jill Sobule song in Clueless rather than the SZA one. Clueless of course is an excellent #Homage to Jane Austen's Emma & although there wasn't a character based on her in Clueless, Emma's neighbor, Miss Bates, NEVER gets #TiredOfTalking.

And that is how you do it. (Cue 🎤drop...)🤣

Sanctuary | Robert Edric

I‘m quite powerless when it comes to resisting any sort of fictional #Homage to the Brontës. ?

Sanctuary tells the (first person) story of the disgraced Branwell Brontë‘s return to Haworth and his final months with his family. I hope it‘s good! ??

emilyhaldi Oooohhhh I hope its good too!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 8y

Reviewsbylola Omg please start a stack of all the books I‘m insisting you read right away and put this one at the top. 😂 8y

Melissa_J Have you read

Charlotte and Emily: A Novel of the Bront�s

LeahBergen @Reviewsbylola 😂😂 8y

LeahBergen @Melissa_J No, but I have a hardcover of it sitting in one of my online shopping carts 😂. It‘s the British title, though

The Taste of Sorrow

LeahBergen @Melissa_J Have you read any of Jude Morgan‘s regency-era books? They‘re really good! 8y

LeahBergen @emilyhaldi I hope so! I don‘t want to disappoint @Reviewsbylola 😆 8y

Melissa_J I have not! Which are you favourites? 8y

batsy Oooh! Sounds interesting. 8y

Mdargusch This sounds great! 8y

Sophoclessweetheart I am too! I‘ve got my eye on The Glass Town Game and one Nelly Dean. Also, Jane Steele! I‘m a sucker for a retelling x 8y

LeahBergen @Melissa_J I really liked all three that I read. Try

Indiscretion: A Novel

LeahBergen @Melissa_J Or

An Accomplished Woman

LeahBergen @Melissa_J Or

A Little Folly

LeahBergen @batsy @Mdargusch It does, doesn‘t it?? 8y

LeahBergen @Wanderingwithwords Oh! Jane Steele is waiting on my shelf, too. 😆 8y

rubyslippersreads You are adding way too many books to my TBR list! 😄 8y

Kalalalatja

Arcadia: A novel | Iain Pears

This novel feels like an #homage to Shakespeare and story telling, history and science. It is filled with literary references and a great love for stories, which makes it a perfect book for book lovers 📖

#Aprella

Cinfhen, Reviewsbylola, emilyhaldi, Mdargusch

Reviewsbylola I will have to look into this one. It sounds good! 8y

emilyhaldi I've thought about buying this a couple times but the fantasy part scares me 😬 8y

Mdargusch Me too @emilyhaldi 8y

Kalalalatja @Reviewsbylola @emilyhaldi @Mdargusch the fantasy element is really quite small. There‘s some travel between worlds, and one of those worlds are dystopian, but there are no magic, dragons, or anything else high fantasy. If you could read Outlander Emily, I‘m sure you can read this 👍 8y

emilyhaldi Lol @Kalalalatja Outlander is really opening my worldview!!!! 👏🏻😆 8y

TheKidUpstairs

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle | David Wroblewski

What's that you say? Your book is an #homage to a Shakespearean classic? Sign me up!

#Aprella @Cinfhen @Mdargusch @Reviewsbylola @emilyhaldi

AmyG This was a really good book. 8y

Ubookquitous Yes... I love takes on Shakespeare- Thousand Acres is a fav. Did you read Hagseed by Atwood? Vinegar Girl by Anne Tyler or any of the other Hogarth series? (Dunbar is one) I am starting an ARC of Jo Nesbo's Macbeth! If you like irreverent comedy, have you read Christopher Moore's Fool (a take on Lear) or Serpent of Venice?? Or the classic

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

Cinfhen Great photo 💙 8y

emilyhaldi So many good ones!!! 8y

Mdargusch There are great ones out there! 8y

TheKidUpstairs @Ubookquitous I've read Hag-Seed (on my Kobo, that's why it's not pictured), but not Vinegar Girl yet. I'm so excited for Nesbo's take on Macbeth, I hope you like it! When's the release date? And Thank you for the other recommendations! I read R&G are dead in University, it's one that's on my radar to get a copy for my collection 😁 8y

Ubookquitous @TheKidUpstairs comes out Tuesday- don‘t know if I‘ll finish by then, but we‘ll see 8y

Emilymdxn I‘m about to embark on the hogarth Shakespeare series! So excited! Only one I‘ve read so far is Vinegar Girl but I‘m excited for the Gap of Time and Dunbar 8y

TheKidUpstairs @Emilymdxn I've read two so far, Hag-Seed and Dunbar. Both were excellent. I plan to read all of them over time! 8y
