#NoPlaceLikeHolmes story

I read this for #AuthorAMonth & it was a solid historical fiction read. I agree with the comments I‘ve seen by several others here that say it was a bit too long. Overall, an enjoyable book & interesting enough that I dug deeper into the history that was portrayed here.

I went with a pick for this book because the last third of it was so good - but if I had based it on the first two thirds it probably would have just been ok. It just felt like a bunch of women gossiping and not much happening even though so much was happening. The last third is full of action and I couldn't put the book down!

I‘ve started my third Kate Quinn book tonight for #authoramonth @Soubhiville

I just found my Kurt Vonnegut book for September‘s #AuthorAMonth…and it‘s on sale! Would love to read more about what he has to say about the art and craft of writing. (Discount also available on Google and Kobo.)

#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025 March 2025 #AuthorAMonth I‘ve had this in my library for a good while and I‘m glad to finally have the extra motivation to read it. Excellent world building, intricate magic system, and, most important from my point of view, interesting, well-rounded characters with realistic relationships. Recommended.

This was a solid read for #authoramonth. A bit overally long and melodramatic at times but still enjoyed it. 👍

Happy Sunday #AuthorAMonth readers! Happy Easter if you celebrate.

We are more than halfway through April already, and I hope you‘re enjoying this month‘s author Kate Quinn. Your reviews have inspired me to add a few of her books to my TBR.

A look ahead to May which will bring Percival Everett. Perhaps you are ready to place your holds or orders soon.

Happy Reading!
