Hey #Bookstodon - I am in a bit of a reading rut and need some #recommendations to help me get out. Do you have any good recommendations for historical #fiction? I would even take some well-written #history or #travel books. My only restriction is that I would like recommendation not focused on the United States (but I am open if it is good). Thanks!

3/5 for "Murder Isn't Cricket" by the Radfords. Sadly book 1 of my 2025 #DeanStreetDecember did not bowl me over. One down nine to go. This is now the fourth year for this fun SUMMER tradition 😁

The Barbellion Prize is coming back! This essential literary prize which “celebrates and promotes writing that represents the experience of chronic illness and disability” has been on hiatus but is now relaunching. They need help to raise funds to cover the cost of running the prize and welcome any donations, please spread the word!
“As with disability in general, the literature of disability and chronic illness is too commonly turned away from, leaving non-disabled readers ignorant of the profound difference experienced by many and disallowing a voice to chronically ill and disabled writers. All of the volunteers working to support the prize are motivated by a desire to celebrate difference as represented in literature and to effect positive social change via that representation.”

Were you ever exposed to materials in books and other media as a child that the adults in your life didn't want for you at that point, or would have been considered mature/difficult for your age? Did the experience cause harm, or did it turn out okay? Details welcome with CWs as appropriate! #bookstodon @bookstodon
Five stars:
At Death's Dough by Mindy Quigley (2025) is the fifth book in the Deep Dish mystery series. It's the first one not to have an audiobook version and I'll admit to missing Holly Adams's performance.
It's February in Geneva Bay. The snow is thick. The lake is frozen. Delilah O’Leary finds a body while ice fishing. That discovery leads to a story of hidden loot lost during the Prohibition years.

This old image made me think of every single book lover in the Fediverse 📚📖
Four stars:
The Secret Christmas Library by Jenny Colgan (2025) is part caper and part romance set in a crumbling castle in Highlands. Mirren Sutherland is an insurance inspector with a knack for finding rare books. Her reputation results in her being invited to find a hidden book amongst a hoard of old books in the days leading up to Christmas. Unfortunately she has to work alongside her ex and rival, Theo Palliser.

3.75/5 for "Let Him Lie" by Ianthe Jerrold, my penultimate read for #DeanStreetDecember 2025. A beautifully written Clayton's detective story.

How is a hoarding bookdragon better than a little bookworm that reads like their life depends on it 🤔
Shouldn't books be for the sharing of knowledge, not for the owning of knowledge 😁

After a disappointing start, Book 2 of my #DeanStreetDecember , "The Trail of The Three Lean Men" was a lot of fun. Two down, eight to go

Was once again reminded of Ursula K. Le Guin's daily schedule, and why this woman was an icon on every single level.

So, putting the book down where you finish reading it until it organically evolves into a pile of books doesn't count as "arranging"? Rude! 😜😂

finished reading We Are the Stars 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
by Gina Chick.
That wild woman who captivated us on Alone Australia is the product of genes, a generous upbringing, and intense tempering in the crucible of life. A remarkable range of life experience, and an impressive capacity to learn & evolve from life's challenges. Heavy on nebulous metaphor, but fitting. I envy her capacity to inhabit her emotions & body so fully.

Really pleased my wife didn't know this rule 32 years ago, and that she didn't decide to wait for when I grow up - whenever that might be. #AmReading #bookstodon #Mystery @bookstodon
