#BibliophileAdventCalendar #Day18

The #AdventPromptoftheDay is:

🎄 Are you into historical fiction or novels set in specific periods in the past, sometimes including actual events and recognizable people. What‘s your favorite book in this genre?

Answer in the comments ⬇️ or post and tag 💜

TheBookgeekFrau I love historical fiction! Two favorites that immediately come to mind are: Next Year in Havana and A Gentleman In Moscow 💞 2d

Texreader It‘s my favorite genre and I have way too many favorite books to even try. But a new to me author I love is Kate Quinn who I discovered this year through #authoramonth 2d

Naked in Death | Nora Roberts, J. D. Robb

so-so

#authoramonth complete. I was on the fence about reading any Nora Roberts after not enjoying one of her fantasy series, but decided I'd give one of her mysteries a try.

Unfortunately, still not a fan. The main murder mystery was interesting. Everything else...not so much. A theme in the few books I've read by her is lazy world building, and that continued with this book set in future times.

Also, why is this cover so terrible?

@Soubhiville

IriDas Very weird cover. I‘m also not a fan of the author.. I‘ve read two of her books and I just don‘t get the excitement. 3d

Hemlock & Silver | T. Kingfisher

Loving the new T. Kingfisher! It‘s giving me McKinley vibes but with a creepy sheen - maybe it‘s the desert setting making me think of Damar? Her inner dialogue writing of the reluctant hero is similar too.

willaful That sounds promising! Gonna read it next month for #AuthorAMonth 4d

Larkken @willaful good idea! When the hold came in though I guess I couldn‘t wait haha 3d

willaful @Larkken ya gotta do what ya gotta do. 3d

Inheritance: The Lost Bride Trilogy #1 | Nora Roberts

I‘m finally starting my first book for #authoramonth this month. @Soubhiville

KadaGul I really like Nora Roberts's writing. This one‘s pretty good, too. It moves along at a nice, steady pace. 4d

Identity | Nora Roberts

This was my first Nora Roberts and…will probably be my only Nora Roberts.

A stolen identity, a murder, an obsessed killer and a budding romance seem like the ingredients for a perfect detective thriller. But this one was just too unbelievable both procedurally and in its character development.

#AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

AmyG I listened to this one. My first of hers. I enjoyed it, a bit mindless, and can understand why you wouldn‘t read more. I probably won‘t either. 7d

Naked in Death | J D Robb

pick

Never thought I‘d read and enjoy a Nora Robert‘s book, so thank you @Soubhiville and #AuthorAMonth! Had no idea she writes Sci-fi thrillers under a different name either. This one is action-packed and enjoyable brain candy featuring a tough detective with a complicated past of her own which is just what I needed this busy month.

Written in the 1990s but set in the 2050s, it was interesting to see her take on the future (she played it safe). 😊

Soubhiville I was so glad to find she wrote more than just romances! 1w

Karisa @Soubhiville I would‘ve had no idea that she was also JD Robb but for your post! Otherwise I probably would‘ve skipped this month. Thank you! 😊 1w

Tell Me about Yourself: Six Steps for Accurate and Artful Self-Definition | Holley M. Murchison

Just posting a quick hi to Litsy members. 🙋‍♀️ I joined here after looking for a laid-back and fun reading platform. Knowing most reading challenges begin with the New Year, December seemed like a good month to start.

About me: I volunteer at an animal shelter and only work part-time. My reading preferences vary depending on my interests or mood but I often seek out nonfiction, classics, fantasy or HF books. I also enjoy music and hiking.

Dilara Hello and welcome to Litsy! 💐 😃 2w

TimEW @do-re-mi Another welcomed reader. I found Litsy earlier this year. I also wanted to find a laid back place to find new to me books to read. I do post books I have finished reading or listening to, sometimes I might add a few words about the book I have read. Goodreads was just too intense for my taste, and posts were way too long. This place is much better. Welcome again. 😊🙏 1d

Texreader @TimEW Oh!! Your post makes me so happy! I‘m so glad Litsy is a good fit for you! 1d

julesG Welcome to Litsy! 1d

do-re-mi @julesG Thank you. 🌞
@TimEW Thanks for your comment and I understand where you are coming from. 🙂 Personally, I'm not into writing lengthy book reviews anymore and I don't do well with reading challenges that have a bunch of rules. 21h
