http://raidergirl3-anadventureinreading.blogspot.com/ : TOP TEN TUESDAY: My Spring TBR

Sun, 28 Mar 2021 15:16:02 +0000

Yes, I’m really enjoying the series. Not as good as the Lady Sherlock, lol, but the relationships of the main characters are interesting and I always like an English setting. I’m not usually a cozy mystery fan, as Ruth is an archeologist not a detective, but she gets called in by the police (a particular detective actually) for found bodies.

We had completely different books on our lists this week! The ones on your list I’ve read I do agree are funny.
Here’s the link to my Gun Seller review, back when I still did reviews :https://raidergirl3-anadventureinreading.blogspot.com/2007/03/book-gun-seller-by-hugh-laurie.html?m=1 />And see why I almost didn’t return it to the library!

Catcher in the Rye didn’t make an impression- good or bad.
I’m so glad that someone else hated On the Road!

I think my image problem is from using images from LibraryThing. But who knows? There are some good series releases coming. I missed the latest Jane Harper though and I love her books!

Thanks for stopping by Les. I only included series where I am up to date, but I missed that there is a new Lady Sherlock in late fall. I think the image problem is because I am using images from LibraryThing. It is the new Blogger but I’ve mostly adjusted to it.
Ps -I just tried the sauted zucchini with an egg. It was delicious!

Katherine, I'm glad to hear you love Jenny Colgan. I'm looking forward to getting to the earlier books. I hope you get to Jane Harper - great mysteries.

I think it is Capote. I feel I've heard speculation that Harper Lee did much of the book, In Cold Blood. It's so weird that the two of them wrote such amazing books, and had grown up together and were both unusual.

Such a wild story! I don't feel like I heard anything about the story before either. It feels like it should have been more in the news, but it missed me completely.

Tana French and Liane Moriarty are so strong. Run Hide Repeat is a fascinating story. I wonder if you browse around CBC if you an find the story. The author is a CBC Maritime personality, which adds an extra interesting layer.

Good to know about the audio. I like audiobooks a lot, but it's not always available at my library. I haven't really bought an audiobook, but I keep looking at Audible, and noting books that are recommended on audio. I'll add this one to that list.

I think you would enjoy Barometer Rising. It turns out the Christmas tree gift was revived in the 1970s, so it hasn't been going on for all the years, but it is still a nice gesture.

Imagine being fed up with mandarin oranges! but it is what is around and plentiful in your area. In the 1960s, kids on PEI were embarrassed to take their cheap and plentiful lobster sandwiches to school to eat. They were a sign of being poor. Not any more!

I remember the picture advent calendar being glittery. They were very nice, but kids (ie me) always prefer a chocolate treat. I can see now why the picture ones are collectable.

We definitely had chocolate advents in the 70s. I wonder about the UK-Canada connection and if that is why we had them.

And I’m glad to have discovered you as well! We do say we live on PEI, I wonder if that’s an island thing.
I hope you enjoy Eleanor, she was a favourite of mine this year. So glad you’ve joined the Advent Tour this year!

The Rec's are the best - you know you are picking a reliable book. I find it harder deciding on a NF book if I'm not familiar with the author.

I think everyone read I'll Be Gone in the Dark this year. I feel like I saw it on many lists that I looked at.

Teena, I think I first heard of Canadianity from your blog. I loved it! I liked how they went by province and focused on each, and made lists for each province. Lots of fun.

Katherine, I’ve already read the second book after The Dry. I listened to it over the weekend and couldn’t put it down!
Arnaldur Indridason has a wonderful Iceland series you can look for too. A trip to Iceland would be amazing.

Les, Eleanor would be good for a re-read, knowing her past from the start. Raymond was such a good heart.
