Why yes this edition IS before my time. ☺️ Makes me feel young! I guess I‘m lucky my library system still has a copy to circulate.
By the way, I have 5 library books checked out and it makes me anxious, which is completely irrational. It reminds me though why I shouldn‘t order any while I have one checked out. It‘s also why I prefer to buy so I can hoard them on my shelf. 😜
New bestie!!! 😁😁💕
My creative idol Stuart Turton was such an entertaining speaker - irreverent, smart, cynical, funny - and I even managed to say a few words to him.
US Littens might be pleased to know he's doing a US tour soon too 😊
pickI listened to the Talented Mr. Ripley in October. When I saw there is a new Netflix series, I decided to listen to the second of the five books before watching. Just because. #readbeforewatching I enjoyed both books. The narrating is really well done too.
Thaaaat's right, Peter, you want the pretty car because it's magic-resistant, not because it's pretty.
I sense ulterior motives...😏
This book has a strong sense of place and sometimes insightful writing, but overall it needed more editing. I also didn‘t find the story very satisfying for many reasons. Apparently the following books in the series feature a different main character who‘s more compelling than the guy in this book, but even so I don‘t think I‘ll read any further.
In any case #Montana is done and there are only a few states left! #52mysteries
Not a verbatim quote, but I want to believe it's a Big Trouble in Little China reference. ☺️
pickThis extremely readable book explores how the policies put in place in the 1970s and 80s that led to mass incarceration were largely supported by the black community, including voters, politicians, and members of the justice system. He focuses in on majority black DC and gives a little hint on efforts made more recently to turn things around. Really interesting read.
