Books I read this year:
#5. ELEVEN LIARS by Robert Gold (Bob Harper #2) 4*
An interesting mystery in which the solution doesn’t necessarily leads to justice and this book doesn’t provide all the answers or explanations.

Books I read this year:
#4. SO LATE IN THE DAY by Claire Keegan (5*)
Only 47 pages but this story throws a punch. Featuring a rather unsympathetic MC, the French title ‘Misogynie’ seems like a better fit.

Books I read this year:
#3. SEMICOLON by Cecelia Watson (4*)
Interesting reflections on the use of punctuation and the semicolon in particular. For a book titled Semicolon it could have focused on that particular quotation mark a bit more.

Books I read this year:
#2. RANDOM IN DEATH by J.D. Robb (In Death #58) (5*)
As good as always. It says something about Nora Roberts if 58 books into a series she still manages to keep me engrossed in a story.

Coincidence. My bookclub will be discussing The Witches of Vardo Tuesday week... On Halloween, how appropriate is that?

Enjoy. They're a lovely crowd there.

I do, but didn't start until 12.30 today. Maybe next time.

We almost met today. You'd just left the building when I arrived to start my shift. Such a shame.

Welkom!!!
Bluesky is nog een beetje beperkt vergeleken met Twitter maar het is ook een stuk vriendelijker!

Impressive. And exactly as it should be!

That reminds me I should really take a day to make my own batch of 'erwtensoep'.

I distinctly remember how, about 50 odd years ago, my younger brother (aged 7 at the time) told the rest of us to be quiet because on the radio someone said 'nu komt de aap uit de mouw'. He wanted to hear that monkey emerging. :)

That was immensely helpful. Thank you!
