What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This was a pretty good thriller. After a military group is unknowingly inoculated with a test drug which of course leads to disaster, one remaining soldier gets revenge and forces culpability.

After a recent trivia question, I realized that I had never read what is considered the first modern detective story (The Murders In The Rue Morgue) which was written by Edgar Allen Poe! Who knew? The stories have a Sherlock Holmes feel with observation and random knowledge used to solve the cases. The book C. Augusta Dupin is actually 3 short stories. Written in 1841, it took a minute to become accustom to the language of the time! I’m going to be reading more Poe!

This book by Mieko Kawakami explores middle school bullying. The book is well written and so so sad. I’m not sure how this book happened on my radar but I’m glad it did!

Leave it to Jodi to tackle the tough and current medical and social issues. This book takes place in an abortion clinic in Mississippi. The laws in Mississippi make it hard to get an abortion and this book weaves these constrictions into this fictional story following several lives. Picoult has a knack for showing you different points of views of a current issue. I’ve read several Picoult books and they are all very well written. I 100% recommend this book!

I loved this book - and the ending really gave me pause. It was my first book by Hervé Le Tellier and I really liked the writing style. Part sci-fi part mystery, it drew me in and kept me listening!

I might be the only person that didn’t read this when it first came out. I also thought it wrapped up nicely but just found out it is the first of a series of 4. I enjoyed reading this book, I’m not sure it will be on my list of all time favorites, but I will search out the next in the series! Did you read this book and what did you think?

This is another book that came up on my “All time best mystery books” search. It was written in 1961 and is the first one in the George Smiley series. I’m not usually a huge spy book reader, but this one intrigued me so I’ll prob grab the next one at some point! Do you have a favorite LeCarre book?

I recently was on a quest for a good murder mystery book and did an internet search for the best ever mystery books. Of course the lists were subjective, but, an Agatha Christie book appeared on nearly everyone’s list, and this particular book was on many. I absolutely adored this book. I loved the writing and how the mystery was tied up in a nice little bow at the end! I have several more of her books on my “to be read” list! What is your favorite Christie book?

Set in 1904, this book is a mystery that takes place in the infancy of forensic procedures. As the title depicts, it takes place in Vienna and also explores secret societies and the prejudices of the time. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and discovered the tv series which I’m also enjoying!

A recent question on Alexa’s Question of the Day was “What book was voted best book of the 20th century in France” the answer was The Little Prince. I don’t remember reading this as a child but maybe it was read to me? As an adult I appreciated this book in a way that as a child I’m sure I did not. Definitely worth a quick read!

One of the books I finished up right before Christmas was The Love Songs by W.E.B. Du Bois which prompted me to look into books written by Du Bois. I liked this book a lot and it was very interesting to hear his opinion and insights on different subjects. He talked about emancipation, tenant farming, education (or lack of) for black people and so much more. This was written in 1903 and as I was listening to it I kept wondering how he would feel about today’s world? This will probably be a book I get in ...

2nd book of 2022. This was one I grabbed because it was a long list finalist of the National Book Awards. It was well written but kind of like how everyday life can be a little boring, this!was how I felt about this book. I enjoyed the writing style so I really want to read some of the author’s other works. I think though if it hadn’t been an audio version there wasn’t much to keep me turning the pages. Let me know how you felt about this book.

Hello 2022! This is my first book for 2022 and I LOVED it! The writing was great and the story based on true events was so interesting! I dropped the ball on all the great books I read in 2021, but I will get back to posting them soon! I will definitely be looking into more written by this author.

I decided I wanted to read as many of the books on the Booker Long List 2021 before the end of the year. I’m getting a late start and some of the books aren’t available in audio yet - but we’ll give it a go! Light perpetual was so amazing! 5 lives that ended when a London Woolworths was bombed in 1944. This book was about what if’s - how their lives might have been. There is a reason it is on this list!
