A Fatal Grace: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel | Louise Penny

pick

An enjoyable mystery with likable cast of characters, especially our favorite homicide detective CHIEF Inspector Gamache. However, I went too long between this and the prior book. I don‘t recall enough of what happened. Not quite a standalone book. But… PIE! Great scene with lemon meringue pie 😋

Suzze I try to make a couple of notes about each book that helps me remember the previous one. I‘m caught up now. 3h

BkClubCare @Suzze - I do not like the unfinished Agent Nichol story line 😑 (and a few other quibbles,,, but I don‘t like series books.) 24m

A Fatal Grace: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel | Louise Penny

Starting this as my expendable travel read - I intend on leaving it on the plane or in the hotel. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Found on my shelves, unknown when originally acquired, it fits a reading challenge I do every year: #WiaN #WhatsinaName #WiaN2024 category NFL Team (the subtitle features CHIEF Inspector Gamache! 🏈

bthegood I just finished this and loved it (2nd in a series) - hope you enjoy it too. 🙂 3d

BkClubCare @bthegood - thank you; so far so good. 😊 2d

A Fatal Grace: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel | Louise Penny

pick

Chief Inspector Gamache, Agents Beauvoir and LaCoste, Clara, Peter, Ruth, Myrna, Gabri, and Olivier - I feel attached to the characters and Three Pines. In this one CC dePoitiers is murdered, and no one seemed to like her. Gamache is also working on a side case - to solve the murder of a homeless woman named Elle. Overall, very good read. ⬇️

Make a great day everyone 🙂

bthegood We also get the backstory of the Arnot case and why it is an issue for Gamache, and we are left with a bit of a cliffhanger as Gamache's superiors try to “take him down“.

Loved this cold, gothic historical fiction novel set in Newfoundland. The novel tracres the war between siblings in a small coastal village. Great on audio. 4 🌟

Unbroken: My Fight for Survival, Hope, and Justice for Indigenous Women and Girls | Angela Sterritt

pick

This was excellent and important book. Sterrett shares her experience living and later working in Vancouver‘s downtown east side, and how this led her to a career in investigative journalism. Through her work she has provided a voice for the (far too many) families that have lost a loved one. In building her career and finding her voice, she has been made to endure a tremendous and disturbing amount of racism along the way. Highly recommend.

The pace is ~100 pages per week, and I'll post Saturday check-ins to chat about the week's reading. Those who were interested are tagged, but anyone is welcome!

BarbaraJean This May/June schedule goes to the end of the Complete Journals Vol. 1, and includes adjacent books that LMM mentions or that may have been influential for her during this time (no rereads yet—AoGG pops up in Vol. 2). LMM mentions a TON of books she was reading, from poetry to novels and more, so if something stands out to you that‘s not on the schedule, please bring it up! It would be fun to add in more adjacent reads if people are interested. ⬇ (edited) 3w

BarbaraJean Also, I came across this and thought it was interesting—the L.M. Montgomery Bookshelf: https://kindredspaces.ca/bookshelf. It collects “some of Montgomery's most-loved or most interesting reads.“ It includes scans of relevant pages or the full text of various books that were important to LMM, along with notes on each. There are only 20 titles there, but it's fascinating to look through! 3w

TheAromaofBooks Wow!!! This is fantastic!!!! Thank you so much for pulling it together. I am definitely in for this!! 3w

rubyslippersreads I‘m excited about this! 3w

sblbooks I'm in for Rebecca of Sunnybrook. 3w

BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks @rubyslippersreads 🎉 🎉 I'm so looking forward to reading along with you both! @sblbooks Yaaaay! I'll be sure to tag you for those weeks. 3w

TheAromaofBooks My library has Volume 1, so I am going to check it out and that will let me see if I want to make the financial investment of slowly purchasing all these journals as we read them 😂 3w

rubyslippersreads @sblbooks I have the Shirley Temple edition. 😄 (Although the movie has very little to do with the book, since book Rebecca doesn‘t go on the radio.) 3w

BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks Totally understand!! There are no copies of any of the journals in either of the library systems I have cards for! 😩 I could get a card at yet another library that‘s not terribly far, but that would mean driving 30-40 minutes there to get the card and the book and then driving back to return it… so I broke down and bought the first two volumes online. But, for what it‘s worth, I also discovered that Vol. 1 is on Internet Archive! (edited) 3w

sblbooks @rubyslippersreads I didn't even know there was a Shirley Temple movie for this book. I'll have to see if I can find it 3w

lauraisntwilder I haven't been online much lately, so I missed this. I'm definitely in though! Thank you! 3w

BarbaraJean @lauraisntwilder No worries--knowing that this schedule is more complicated and the journals aren't as readily available, I wanted to give plenty of advance notice! Glad to have you along for the ride again!! 2w

This was great! First time reading this author. His stories are engaging, and left me to speculate about the ending. Often dealing with moral struggles. Recommend
