Fine, crappy iPhone with limited storage, I‘ll listen to a shorter audiobook with a smaller data file than the George RR Martin tomb.

I Spy | Claire Kendal

I expected a different story based off of the synopsis. I liked and finished the story despite this. The switching between Now and Then, occasionally causes confusion; even with the aid of different fonts. Too many times did I have to remind myself where I‘m the story this time period belonged.

TRIGGER WARNING: sexual, emotional, & verbal abuse, miscarriages;

This was so good! Pleasantly surprised by how diverse the cast was, and loved that Kitty's autism didn't make her some kind of infallible Sherlock Holmes superspy. *pounds fists on table* SEQUEL SEQUEL SEQUEL. #yalit #historicalfiction #spynovel

Just listened to one of my favorite authors, Stephanie Barron/Francine Matthews, give an interview to The Joys of Binge Reading, and found out many fascinating things! Off to find a copy of this one now...

I'm struggling to focus on my new #audiobook. I think it's me just having too much on my mind, but if I don't get into the zone by the end of my commute tomorrow, I may have to switch to print. #audible #commute #spynovel #espionage

Behind the making of my novels. Countless hours...days...months...years....of writing and taking chess photos. I poured my soul into the series of King of Pawns. #spies #chess #dark #spynovel #psychological #newauthor #newadult #series #romance #historical #politicalfiction #noir #mafia

Finished this novel early this morning/late last night. The book was recommended by Tom Colgan, an editor with Penguin, on the spy genre podcast Spybrary (a pod worth a listen if you love the spy genre). It‘s a VERY SLOW BURN, but it pays off at the end. My only gripe is that I never bought into the relationship between Leamas and Liz. The ending punches you in the gut. #spynovel

My GR review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2444072568?

DGRachel I love LeCarre‘s early work. Very slow burn, but always worth sticking it out to the end. 😊 6y
BillBlume @DGRachel this is my first time reading one of his books. I‘ll be checking out more of them. 6y
DGRachel My favorites are the George Smiley novels, of which this one is the third, but especially the Karla trilogy, which begins with Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. 6y

A quick read, interesting and vibrant. Vera is an intriguing MC and the author gives us a peek into both the strained environment of the Cold War, and the challenges faced by the gay community in the 50‘s and 60‘s. #spynovel #queerreads #librarybook #girlscandoanything

Erinsuereads That‘s a lot going on. Did it come together cohesively? 6y
WhiskeyMistress @ErinSueG it did, the chapters alternated between her adult life and flashbacks to her teen years. It flowed well for me and really developed her as a character 6y
Erinsuereads Oh that‘s a great structure for that! 6y
