“looking at these two indissoluble partnerships, the coloniser and the colonised, the executioner and his victim, we can see that the second is only an aspect of the first. And without any doubt the executioners are not the colonisers, nor are the colonisers the executioners. These latter are frequently young men from France who have lived twenty years of their life without ever having troubled themselves about the Algerian problem. ⬇️
My next book for #foodandlit #Algiera @Catsandbooks
Also my #letterQ for #litsyatoz
pickI only realised after the fact that this is part of a series. Nevertheless it can be enjoyed as is.
Even without knowing the background of the sluth ladies, I really enjoyed their personalities, witty banter and internal struggles.
The plot was somewhat far-fetched, but I suppose that's typical for a cozy mystery.

pickKate Quinn is becoming one of my all-time favorite historical fiction novelists. This one is about 4 cousins who try to stay out of the men fighting for their chance to be the next Caesar. Although they do realize they have to fight in their own unique way to save those they love. #Italy #Jubilee #FoodandLit #letterq #AtoZLitsy @Texreader @Catsandbooks
so-soThis book left me feeling lukewarm. I read as an audiobook and by half in, I was listening with one ear. I didn't care for either of the characters and had to force myself to finish. 2.5 ⭐️ A lot of people raved about this book and the whole series. I don't know if I will read book 2. Are the other books better? #SeriesLove2025 @Andrew65 #Read2025 @DieAReader
This is my #DoubleSpin book for June. @TheAromaofBooks
panI was expecting a feelgood story about mother-daughter relationships and “found family”, but what I got was a woman who sees ghosts, superficial relationships and a confused and confusing story. This one wasn‘t for me, sadly.

pickSo much better than the last one! Thank goodness for no exploding oranges or exotic animals! Nancy and the gang are embroiled in a treasure hunt of sorts, with adventures that feature spooky houses, shifty people, and kidnapping galore. Fun, breezy read. #NancyDrewBR
So sorry for the late reminder, but discussion is Thursday in the AM US East Coast time!

pickI enjoyed this story of female gangsters in post-WWII England, but probably not enough to continue the series. Alice, the leader of the all-female The Forty Thieves, recruits Nell, an unwed mother-to-be, into her gang. After a betrayal that lands Nell in jail, she vows revenge on Alice.
