Weak pick; the setup and middle were, due to elements in the plot (I deal with tech bros in real life let's not make me deal with them in fiction) , slow and not super interesting. Picked up at the 75% mark and did a bait-and-switch only topped by the first novel of the series (Rivers of London). So the average is still a passing grade, but I would only assign 3 stars if I did assign stars.

1) I laughed 2) FINALLY got number eight after a completely unreasonable duration of it being in the mail

Finished this one about a month ago. I read this book in bits of pieces, so I wasn't all that invested. The case to solve also had a different approach which took some getting used to. The story went back and forth in time. It was enjoyable enough. I am glad I'm almost done with this series.
TBR since October 15th. 2021; 404 pages.

When you are in Paris and everyone is queuing for dior, chanel, Vuitton in the neighbourhood and you just shop for books, you know you are a bookworm ;)

This is the first realistic portrayal of a little old lady committing crimes. I‘m here for it!

Ben Aaronovitch doesn‘t have Americans totally down, but this part seemed about right.

Having a quick lunch before I continue assembling the sewing pattern for my daughter's new dress.

Buechersuechtling Good luck with the sewing 🧵. I hope she will like it. – And, of course, happy weekend-reading to you. 📚☀️ 4y

Deifio @Buechersuechtling Thank you. I think she will, she chose the fabric. And she'll get 4 new dresses, all from the one pattern, but different variations. I think that'll make her happy, she loves dresses ☺️ Happy weekend reading to you too! 4y

Another great Rivers of London book. I thoroughly enjoy spending an afternoon with each new installment.

I like the Rivers of London series so much. This volume had Peter undercover in a nerdy tech company; his nerdy coworkers, Victor and Everest, really grew on me. Nightingale got to act like a spy and get into a cool magic fight with another master magician. There were kickass librarians. Beverly was amazing, like always. And Peter got to give a Turing Test.

No spoilers.
I just enjoyed this much more than the last. It was easier to get into and keeo up with (for the most part). So many nerdy references and I definitely didn't get them all. Bjt fun drinking game if you take a shot for the ones that you DO get.

I love Foxglove.

Argh! Still haven‘t finished Mr Loverman because the world won‘t let me but now the new Aaronovitch is out! So looking forward to that! I need to grow another set of ears or take a holiday and both are equally as likely ...
