Weekly reading wrap-up Sunday October 27, 2024

Terrific wrap-up, Debs. I've definitely put We Solve Murders in my plan for November! I really appreciated your reviews of the two occult detective books, and your analysis of the cover presentations of both was also very interesting. I could hear your journalistic expertise in your discussion of how each one is presented. I did kind of chuckle when you talked about your difficulty understanding the Irish language as pronunciations are rarely what we'd expect based on the spelling. I don't think I could ever learn the language at this point. Great wrap-up, Debs!

We Solve Murders sounds great. I'll treat myself to it when it comes out in paperback, by which time "several" books will be read for RWYO. I'm actually really looking forward to seeing how many books I can read before I buy anything. Also looking forward to seeing your progress.

The book about the teenagers reminded me that I still need to read "Dutch Girll: Audrey Hepburn and World War II" by Robert Matzen. Among her other experiences during the occupation of The Netherlands, she also worked with the Dutch resistance.

Getting through a lot more than me. I'm taking my time with an Anthony Trollop. Best wishes and happy reading.

Oh I am glad We Solve Murders is good, I was worried about it.

I've been listening to 'The Secret Sisterhood' because it was due to disappear from the audio subscription inclusion and because it covered female authors who corresponded - some of them were Victober relevant. The first was Jane Austen and her niece's governess which was a bit tenuous as Ann Sharp wrote plays to be performed by the Austen Leigh children but she was still interesting. The second couple were Mary Taylor and Charlotte Brontë, again an interesting woman who went to school with Charlotte, lived in Europe when Charlotte and Emily were in Belgium, moved to New Zealand and had her own novel published which I want to read. 3) George Elliot and Harriet Beecher Stowe, 4)Virgina Woolf and Katherine Mansfield. There was an odd last chapter briefly mentioning many other authors but the body of the book was interesting.
