This book was intense but very good. I‘m a fan of this series, and although Mick Kennedy is not my favorite protagonist, she writes him very well, and the story itself is excellent.
Highly recommend!

What an excellent, eye opening, heartbreaking book. I never knew much about the Irish potato famine, other than that there was a potato blight that lead to food shortages and mass emigration to the US.

This book tells the story of that famine, and how while the blight may have destroyed the potatoes, it was English imperial policy that caused the famine. It‘s a history that deserves to be remembered, and this book does it great justice.

I have a great big soft spot for the alphabet series. I‘ve read the bulk of the series over the past 15 years, all out of order, and I was happy to finally see where it all began.

Kinsey in this book isn‘t quite the Kinsey I‘ve gotten to know through the rest of the series. This was definitely a first pass at the character, it felt a little unformed.

Ultimately, it was a fun read and it kept me entertained, which was what I wanted from it. 3⭐️

That one time my sister and I were flying back east together, showed up at the airport, and had brought the exact same activities to keep ourselves occupied on the plane. 😂📚👯‍♀️

Dracula | Bram Stoker

There‘s a reason Dracula has burrowed its way deep into our culture: it‘s a fun, compelling, completely absorbing read, even over a century after it was written. I just wish I had read it sooner. It‘s now on my list of all time favorites!

Russka: The Novel of Russia | Edward Rutherfurd
post image

A good Pile-o-books haul from a used book store. Some of these were gifts, Russka was so good I can hardly stand it, and I still have Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell on my tbr shelf. I should really get to it, because I‘m absolutely sure I would love it.

Megabooks Nice finds! 👍🏻 6y

RadicalReader @FriggTheBookWyrm What do you think of Litsy so far? 6y
FriggTheBookWyrm @RadicalReader I like Litsy. I like having my feed all full of pictures and reviews of books. I am not a big fan however, of all the welcome wagon comments on my posts. The first one, great, thank you. But after that? It‘s my third day on the site, and almost every comment on my posts has been “welcome to Litsy” and I don‘t like it. I feel singled out. Also, your comment about my appearance on my Dracula post made me very uncomfortable. 6y
RadicalReader @FriggTheBookWyrm I can understand how that can make you feel not a fan of the plethora of welcome posts. Can most definitely be unsettling, I apologize for making you feel unsettled with my comment about your appearance on your Dracula photo just was trying to compliment your appearance but I understand it may not be taken the way it‘s intended 6y
FriggTheBookWyrm @RadicalReader Thank you. I didn‘t think you had any bad intentions, but your comment hit me as over the top and I felt weird about it. I‘d rather connect over books, not looks! 6y
KateFulfordAuthor If you need another recommendation, may I point you to my People‘s Book Prize nominated debut? Sassy female narrative, laugh out dialogue and a pacy plot. Check the link in the bio for 2 free chapters, reviews and more. 6y

Caitlin Doughty is a gem, a treasure, a very sparkly thing. She approaches death with a mix of frankness, respect, genuine feeling, and humor that is absolutely delightful. I love basically everything she does.

FriggTheBookWyrm @MelAnn thanks for the recommendation, that does sound right up my alley! 6y
MelAnn Right now I‘m reading a book about facing end of life stuff written by a doctor after his dad dealt with terminal illness ... I think it was Nightline that did an episode on him. My business deals with this sort of thing so though it may seem morbid to some, I do a lot of reading in this area! 6y
FriggTheBookWyrm @MelAnn I have that book too! I haven‘t finished it but I love Atul Gawande! He‘s had some essays published by the New Yorker and they are wonderful. 6y
readinginthedark Ooh, this one‘s on my TBR! It sounds so good! 6y
