Oh boy. The year is 2008. There was no plug-in Prius hybrid until 2011. I used to own one and when I read this…I thought…nope.
And so it begins. 🤦🏼

We all know the story about the slave trade, but what if it had been different? What if Africans had discovered the New World and forced Europeans into slavery? This is that story. Doris is playing hide and seek with her sisters when she‘s kidnapped and taking to this new country. All she can think about is returning to her family back in England.

Overall, I liked this series opener featuring a book town, mysteries, and a cozy murder. As other reviews have indicated, the author‘s choice to describe an off page character with a non-PC description is jarring and makes me wonder why. However, I felt for the MC who had a contentious relationship with the sheriff and a sister who high maintenance comes to mind. I plan to read more in the series. #192025 #2008 #52BookClub23 #SetInAWorkplace
I liked very much this historical fiction novel about the 11th-century Queen Gruadh of Scotland, who inspired Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth. The queen's life is supposedly quite different from that in Shakespeare's story and King portrays her as an admirable character.

One of my African favourites so far for. These are the memoirs of NYT journalist Helene Cooper, who grows up in #Liberia. When the country falls apart after the coup of 1980, she and her family flee to the US. Her less privileged half sister Eunice stays in a country that for years suffers under crazy dictators who recruit child soldiers and drug them to fight for.. well, for whatever. ⬇️⬇️

This slow, meandering cozy mystery reminded me of gentle walks along the New England coastline. Set in a fictional small Massachusetts town, this first in the Seaside Knitters series introduced quite a lot of characters and a seaside village with a murder on its hands. I loved the camaraderie between the four friends who work together (and knit) to solve the crime. Not a typical cozy - the pace is very slow - but a good read. #19822022 #2008
On the one hand - the rich history of Portuguese colonialism, and on the other, unfortunately, unconvincing and too dramatic love interests of the main hero which just made my eyes rolling. Too bad, because the story is interesting, dynamic, colourful and written in a solid prose. #SaoTomeAndPrincipe #ReadingAfrica #19822022 #2008
