Is Lady Cop a sequel to Girl Waits With Gun? Hope you enjoyed it!

Yes, it was, and I did! A quick, fun read.

Hmm, I spot a bit of a watery theme here, Lory! Impressive rate of consumption though. 🙂
I’m on a few days break with relatives but I’ve taken a book sent for review called The Munich Girl (a novel by Phyllis Edgerly Ring about Eva Braun, Hitler’s mistress) and a non-fiction to reread: Arthur Koestler’s The Thirteenth Tribe. I’ve ended up looking at historic towns and cathedrals instead …

You are right! I had not even noticed that.
I saw a review of The Munich Girl not long ago, looks interesting. Hope you enjoy it when the sightseeing is over.

Hope you enjoyed your break and ready to go again! I love the title Lady Cop Makes Trouble, looks historical and yet sounds like she is pretty feisty.

She definitely is, and even more interesting is that the title comes from an actual headline of the time. (So does the title of book one, Girl Waits with Gun).

I’m reading Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Morning Star, and The Raven King right now. I haven’t heard of a single book you’re reading! *hides head in shame*

Well, to be fair, the first two are new and the third one has not come out yet! You may be hearing more about them very soon.
Your reading sounds like a fun mix.

Were you an early Naomi Novik fan? I’ve been meaning to read Uprooted for forever!

I’ve been reading Temeraire since the very beginning. And Uprooted was excellent too.

Isn’t it beautiful? The illustrator is also one of the co-authors, which is interesting too.

I am so behind on Naomi Novik! I have only read the first two books and that was ages ago. Just need more hours in my reading day!

The series is a bit daunting. I read them all as they came out and that helped.

I really need to finish reading the Temeraire series!!

As I said above, I’m glad I kept up with the series as it was published. Otherwise nine books can be quite daunting!

Welcome back! Rachel Elliot’s Whispers Through A Megaphone. I’m hoping to read the Amy Stewart, too, and at some point Novik’s Uprooted (part of the same series? I just know it sounds good).

Uprooted is a standalone, set in a fantasy world somewhat resembling Polish folklore. It’s definitely worth reading! The Temeraire books are quite different, as they are more like Aubrey and Maturin with dragons.
