I'm still really enjoying this one.

I'm listening to it on Audible and I'm also reading a different ebook at the same time which is my normal habit. For the second time this year I've found that both books I'm 'reading' have a very similar theme. The first time it was an audiobook and an ebook which both had a victim who was a blackmailer and kept a little black book. Then this time it's two books which include a particular issue connected with the art world. And there is even a character in the other book called Hugo! ]]> PollVote82834787 Mon, 12 May 2025 06:11:27 -0700 <![CDATA[ Ruth voted in a poll ]]> /poll/show_vote/82834787 Midsummer Murder in the poll Which book do you want to read in July 2025?. ]]> ReadStatus9411356944 Sun, 11 May 2025 02:03:12 -0700 <![CDATA[Ruth wants to read 'A Schooling in Murder: The gripping new WWII historical mystery from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Ashes of London']]> /review/show/7559726865 A Schooling in Murder by Andrew Taylor Ruth wants to read A Schooling in Murder: The gripping new WWII historical mystery from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Ashes of London by Andrew Taylor

Just caught up with this thread, as like many others my notifications are very patchy at the moment. Sorry to hear of your troubles Alwynne and I hope things improve for you very soon.

Good tip for the discussions link, thanks Nigeyb, I've bookmarked it for future use. ]]> Comment290108462 Thu, 01 May 2025 05:38:34 -0700 <![CDATA[Ruth commented on "Kitchen Sink Dramas / Angry Young Men" in The Patrick Hamilton Appreciation Society]]> /topic/show/1567132-kitchen-sink-dramas-angry-young-men Ruth made a comment in the The Patrick Hamilton Appreciation Society group:

Good point! I am looking forward to reading more in the series, so I'll keep that in my mind for the next one :-) ]]> UserChallenge62917417 Mon, 28 Apr 2025 08:47:05 -0700 <![CDATA[ Ruth has challenged herself to read 20 books in 2025. ]]> /user/show/17870864-ruth 11627
