Ninth House | Leigh Bardugo
post image
Pickpick

Magic at Yale! Alex, a druggie who barely survived a murderous rampage, is recruited to go to Yale so that during her spare time she can go undercover at the Ninth House—Lethe. Not because she‘s brilliant but because of her unique ability to see ghosts. Lethe helps the other 8 houses during their ritual magic ceremonies by keeping ghosts at bay, from interfering with the magic. But Alex is a girl from the streets so she approaches her job quite ⬇️

Texreader differently than the other Lethes. She trusts her sixth sense when a murder occurs and when her Lethe mentor disappears. Teaming up with the super-smart Lethe Dawes, a ghost (against all the rules), and a handsome cop, she investigates the murder that eerily has ties to the ghost‘s long-deceased fiancé. Sound complex? It is. And it‘s so so good. I can‘t wait to read book 2, awaiting my hold to come in from Libby. #authoramonth (edited) 19h

Star of the Sea | Joseph O'Connor

Pickpick

This is the story about a miserable excuse of a man and the man he‘s been coerced to murder, an Englishman who lived in #Ireland, during their escape aboard ship to NYC from the famine. But a lot of folks have reasons to commit the murder, and does he really “deserve” to die? There are a lot of side stories that all tie back to these two characters. I wasn‘t terribly keen on the writer‘s style but it was a good, interesting read. #bookedintime ⬇️

Houston, Texas: A Photographic Portrait | Twin Lights Publishers, Incorporated
post image

Fam is going to Houston Wednesday and Thursday and will be checking out some bookstores, particularly the awesome Half Price Books near NASA (we‘re also going to the Johnson Space Center Museum where daughter and I got to spend the night when she was in Girl Scouts—AMAZING!).

Hey Houstonians! Any recommended bookstores down that way or on the way back to San Antonio?

And I can attest this quote is so darned true about Houston!

cassareada Murder By The Book is a great bookstore as well as BlueWillow Bookshop. And in San Antonio there's a bookstore by the River Walk ( i think it's called The Twig Book Shop??) I was there once like 3ish years ago so I don't remember the name for sure. But there was a Mexican restaurant near by that had amazing al pastor tacos. 19h
Texreader Thanks! I‘ve visited both Murder and Blue Willow and loved them both but especially Murder by the Book. The Twig has moved into an “upgraded” part of downtown with no nearby free parking anymore. 😞 But Jenny Lawson has opened a bookstore about a mile from my house, so you should visit it when you‘re back in SA. 19h
Graywacke Good Books in the Woods is a fantastic used book store, albeit in the Woodlands. Brazos Bookstore is the premier bookstore in town. New books and pricey, but worth a stop if you‘re in town. 12h
Texreader @Graywacke Thanks!! I haven‘t heard of these stores! 9h

Almost the entire Irish village of Baltimore was taken captive by pirates in the early 1600s and sold as slaves in #Algeria. With little records about their lives as slaves, the author relies on a number of accounts by other slaves to try to describe what their lives could have been like. The author also posits a hypothesis that the taking was an elaborate plan of an evil mastermind who wanted to rid the coastal town of its inhabitants for his ⬇️

Texreader own reasons—and the hypothesis seems to make sense! I had heard about this historical event but I‘d never realized how many “northerners” from England, Iceland, etc were captured as slaves by Barbary pirates and not just sailors from captured boats, but hundreds of women and children. I also learned how the women may have had a better life as slaves than in the cold northern climes. Islam treated women more equally! A very interesting read for ⬇️ 1w

This is a hilarious but informative take on all things Irish, both the Republic (south) and Northern Ireland. A few sections require some knowledge about Ireland so I didn‘t understand them but they were quite short. In fact, the book is very short, less than 100 pages. I can‘t believe I haven‘t found this series before! I love it! #Ireland #foodandlit @Catsandbooks

#Ireland #foodandlit @Catsandbooks

This is an EXCELLENT book, very fun reading.

GingerAntics It depends on what part of Ireland you‘re in. There are parts of the country (small parts, sadly) that are called a Gaeltacht, where the predominant language spoken in the home is Irish instead of English. 2w
AnnCrystal @GingerAntics even while only in a small way, that's still wonderful 😉💝. 2w
GingerAntics @AnnCrystal it really is. Another fun fact about keeping the Irish language alive. The places with the most Irish language learners are The US, Canada, and Australia. The diaspora have taken up what was taken from our ancestors and will hopefully keep it alive. 2w
See All 6 Comments
AnnCrystal @GingerAntics Truly? That is fascinating! The few times I've heard the Gaeilge language were thanks to TV & movies...don't know how accurate these samples were, but it was truly beautiful.

I want to learn my ancestor's language. A bit difficult, we don't live near the Tohono O'odham Nation, nor the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. I have done a little online research and have learned a handful of words in Oʼodham. The name of my Ancestor's Creator, and “mom.“
2w
GingerAntics @AnnCrystal there is something so fulfilling to even learning those few words. I know a little bit of Irish, like a very tiny bit. The bits I do know feel so wonderful. Especially when a conquerer has come and taken that language away, it feels so powerful, revolutionary, and rebellious to actually learn every word you can. 2w
AnnCrystal @GingerAntics that is a powerful way to feel about our stolen languages. And it is true with every word learned ☺️👍🏼💝. (edited) 2w

A rich Brit hires Leo, an unlikely detective who started a website when his girlfriend went missing, to find his long lost daughter. She‘s drawn some money from her trust while in Kathmandu, so that‘s where Leo goes first. The first half of this book is well written and plotted. It goes to heck when the typos start and keep coming, and the writing deteriorates. On the one hand, the descriptions of #Nepal are excellent—the author is well- ⬇️

Texreader traveled and it shows. On the other hand, the daughter‘s charitable work is just dropped as if it were the least important part of her life—which makes no sense to the storyline, and the same is true for the dropped storyline about Leo‘s missing girlfriend. It‘s like the author plane forgot what he was writing about. For a strong start and a lackluster ending, this is barely a pick. #foodandlit @Catsandbooks #letterK #litsyatoz (edited) 2w
