After checking how far behind I was for #readaroundtheworld , I came across this wickedly delightful #crime #novel set in #Argentina.
Though I wanted to borrow the paperback from the library, the fast-paced story kept me glued and tapping the screen with #overdrive
#LitWorld2018GB
Journey through #crime #mystery #thrillers continues for #LitWorld2018GB
From Vaseem Khan's upright Detective with a pet baby elephant, no less (!) - India
To another series new to me, set in Laos
Tagged book is my choice for #Booked2018 MC over 70yo. Then I found out my favorite senior citizen, Lola Quinlan is back!! And I spotted another Swedish writer's funny novel... Let's see which I get to finish first ;D
More #mystery #novels for #LitWorld2018GB
Tagged book set in England - the aristocracy make a delightful source of humour
The Marathon Conspiracy was slow moving but I thoroughly enjoyed the setting in Ancient #Greece. Have picked the first title in the #series to read more about the life back then, and get acquainted with renowned names from the Hellenic history.

Late response to #TuesdayTidbits tags
📚 The more I feel imperfect, the more I feel alive. Jhumpa Lahiri
🎦 To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life.
(Finally watched Walter Mitty last night. This replaced Carpe Diem I had in mind)
📚 Children agree 'film' is one of the numerous ;o and movie characters! ;p
*If anyone still wants to play😄😊🤗

I have two sons and I can so relate to Eve's motherly worries!

There was a time when I read Sparks to keep my tear glands busy 😅😅
While most of his plots are not so memorable, this is one wedding etched in my memory. I have yet to come across a more beautiful and meaningful #IdoIdoIdoIdo in books, at least.
I enjoyed this gentle plot twist so much that I still can't read the more popular prequel, The Notebook.

📚 Tagged book was perfect to kiss my (then) little ones while flipping the pages.
Recently, I read a book I want to share with my children, who are in their teens now. Need to recall the title ;p
#AugustIsATrip brought to my attention the medieval city Bruges, the capital of West Flanders, #Belgium
Another #crime #thriller to discover
#eBook #overdrive (completed in September for #LitWorld2018GB)
Secret mass grave of murdered women under the #sand of Jeddah. Forensic technician Katya Hijazi is sought by the lead inspector.
I greatly enjoyed the first book featuring the forensic professional-turned-Detective in Finding Nouf aka The Night of the Mi'raj. This is a #crime #thriller #series to continue #ReadingResolutions
#librarybooks #TBR
Rhymes are form of poetry right 😊😉😊
A timeless inspiration for me. I like how the verses are realistic while brimming with #Positive reminders.
The detested Waiting Room, the place of frustration, hand-wringing, anxiety and fret, is integral part of Life. Yet we are reminded it's not permanent and better things continue to wait for us. #poetryMatters
#ReadingResolutions
Working together turned these incredible women into #Friends
I believe I need to catch up with the remaining title in the #series before the next book is published
The BBC #audiobook is so FUN with the dramatic adaptation. #overdrive
I enjoyed this #thriller set in the popular National #Park
Hope to return soon to the #series #overdrive #AugustIsATrip

#AbbaInAugust
My #ThreeStack is the Binti #novella #trilogy #blameitonLitsy pick
#SFF most enjoyable with concise details and a tight plot
The first book perfectly captures Binti's #Iwonder state of mind
(early #AbbaInAugust post as opposed to usual late ;)) as the very first person leaving her world to an esteemed university in a different planet. Her departure is as good as running away.
Am eagerly continuing with the series #ReadingResolutions
The Power of a #Smile
#poetryMatters
Discovered #AbbaInAugust in the nick of time! Timeless music I can relate to ;p
This #MammaMia in the tagged book finally shoves her way, following own whims 🤣🤣
WOW!
It took me a while to recover from this firing squad of emotions. Skilful blend of foreshadowing and subtle plot twists kept me glued, aching for each of the characters.
The story was as gripping as any well-paced thriller. Certainly part of my fantastic reads in July
BwaHAHAHAHA... I couldn't help chuckling at this 'wish' as I stood by the library display, browsing through the 'moving, unexpected and inspiring answers'
#ManicMonday
📚 Conjuring of Light / CIRCE
📚 Agatha Christie / Cecelia Ahern
(tho I don't look forward to Ahern's books like before ;)
📚 Cars / 🐔 Little (?) - not of a movie or 📺 buff but
Chak De! India (going to try include my Indian choices in these #AtoZ posts ;)
📚 Chocolate, cheesecake
... more women should be selfish. Or else the world will trample you.
#nowreading #amreading
Reluctantly left Aiaia and parted with Circe. Unwillingly returned the book... The myth retelling is everything you've heard and more. So satisfying when a book exceeds expectations.
I am especially Delighted that daughter has enjoyed these wonderful books this month. I am now reading SOA which she didn't want to end.
She's now in awe and quite uncertain if next book will live up to these incredible stories.
I doubt I can be fully prepared for the continuous torrential feels from the remainder of the story
