Who done it?: A Guide to Detective, Mystery, and Suspense Fiction | Ordean A Hagen

I think this is my #CloakAndDaggerChristmas list! I'm a slow reader so this is rather ambitious 😅

Golden Age+amateur sleuth: Kitchin or Berkeley (or ideally both if I am attempt to be good & not cheat & combine prompts 🧐)
Translated/set in a different country: Bandyopadhyay, Indian/Bengali
Team/duo: Hammett
Victorian: Collins
Village: Bellairs
Mystery TV show: My current fave, Rosemary & Thyme (British mystery series)

@merelybookish

batsy The full list of prompts is here for anyone interested https://www.instagram.com/p/CWTbYSFrp2B/ 3y

merelybookish These look great! And ambitious! I loved Collins when I read him as an undergrad (but avoided an actual Victorian mystery myself.) I love the title of Death of a Busybody. (I imagine many people wanted that person dead. 😛) Even if we don't read any of these books, it has been fun making the list. Here's to death at Xmas! 😄 3y

Cathythoughts Great post ! These look good 👍🏻❤️ 3y

batsy @Jee_HookedOnBookz Thank you! And #SlowReadersUnite 😁 3y

quietjenn Oh, I don't know Crime at Christmas and have never read Kitchin. Might have to add that to my list of possibilities! 3y

LeahBergen Ooo, these all look fun! 3y

Angitron This is the first time I‘ve seen someone mention Rosemary & Thyme!! Also a favorite of mine! 😊 3y

batsy @quietjenn I'm pretty sure I only heard of him because of something I read on crimereads.com 😆 They're responsible for my TBR expanding to infinity! 3y

batsy @LeahBergen I'm excited! 😁 3y

batsy @Angitron Yay! Nice to meet another fan 😊 Love the cosy elements of the show mixed with the gardening theme and two sharp female characters. 3y

Jee_HookedOnBookz @batsy 🙌💕 3y

Jee_HookedOnBookz And thanks for letting me know about #SlowReadersUnite ! 😄 3y

Jane Eyre | Charlotte Bront�

As much as I love reading, I‘ve never been able to increase my speed. #slowreadersunite
As a result, it is rare that I #ReRead anything. My interest in #audiobooks afforded me the opportunity to return to three books I enjoyed. I‘m considering a return to The Sparrow for #audioknitting 😉

Bookwm85forever @Godmotherx5 I wish I could read faster. Audiobooks help me too. 7y

Mollyanna I‘m right there with you! I am a slow reader and love that audiobooks gives me the opportunity to get more in (and it helps make my commute more pleasant). 7y

Reaching Your Goals: The Ultimate Teen Guide | Anne Courtright

This year I‘m thinking in time, not titles. I‘m a slow reader and I read in a lot of formats. This is the best, most consistent way to measure my progress.

I want to change from fits and spurts to slow and steady.

#ReadingGoals2018

TheWordJar I love this idea! I‘m a slow, fits-and-spurts reader too! 🙌 7y

mrozzz Awesome! Hope you make it happen ☺️ 7y

WhatDeeReads @mrozzz Thanks! I hope it works. 7y

megt I love this! I‘m also a slow reader. Rooting for you to hit those 30 minutes a day (and then some!) 7y

theshrinkette Oooh I like this! 7y

WhatDeeReads @megt Thank you! 7y

WhatDeeReads @theshrinkette Thanks! I‘m trying to keep the good bits and get rid of the extra stuff the stresses me out. This way I can include my magazines, newspaper, everything I spend time reading. I‘m thrilled with the potential. 7y

Godmotherx5 I‘m a slow reader, too. @britt_brooke used a great hashtag: #slowreadersunite 7y

Godmotherx5 @Reviewsbylola @Lacythebookworm I ran out of shelf space, so the boxes piled up in our closet. My hubby surprised me with a new shelf & put the books on it. He left them wrapped. I haven't opened them because it cracked me up that he shelved them that way. He's a hoot. 8y

Reviewsbylola That is hilarious! My husband would do the same and err on the side of caution. 😂😂 8y

Godmotherx5 @Reviewsbylola How long have you been married? We celebrated one year in Oct. For two middle-aged adults, it's been fun learning to have a "roommate". 8y

Reviewsbylola We have been married for seven years in May. My husband was married once before me and I truly think it helped him know what not to do. 😂😂😂 8y

Godmotherx5 @Reviewsbylola 😆 8y

Slow Reading in a Hurried Age | David Mikics

I am the slow reader in a family of speed readers. If I try to read faster, I lose comprehension. Citing this link, maybe I was ahead of my time? Could I actually be the cool kid 😎 #SlowRead #ReadJanuary @RealLifeReading http://slowreadingco.com/

quirkyreader It does 't matter how fast you read just as long as you enjoy what you are reading. 🐸🐙 8y

Guys guys guys! 2016 was the first year I ever set a reading goal for myself. I am a slow reader; I like to amble & meander through the worlds of the books I'm reading. I thought 52 books would be a reasonable goal. But, when I finish this book between today & tomorrow, I'll have read 70!!!!

Blair_Reads Yay!! 👏🏻👏🏻 8y
