Behind in reviews, we are doing a weird omnibus

The ABC Murders by Hercule Poirot

The Alice Network by Kate Quinn

Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer

People We Meet On Vacation by Emily Henry

Falling for a Rake by Eve Pendle

May 31, 2021 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

The ABC Murders – *** Picked up on a whim after a recommendation! As I’m also v behind in reviews and somewhat struggling to remember specifics of all the books I’ve read, it’s a perfect opportunity to put into practice my rating scale. Hercule Poirot mysteries are a mainstay in a very specific type of comfort reading, and honestly Christie is a genius for being able to write so many varying tropes in a way that feels connected but fresh. I definitely thought we were […]

Kate Quinn Has Cracked the Code for a Great Read

The Rose Code by Kate Quinn

March 30, 2021 by jomidi 1 Comment

The Rose Code by Kate Quinn is a triumph.  A wonderful historical fiction with a little bit of everything – history, humor, romance, and  mystery.   The pages come alive with a mix of  great fictional characters, alongside real historical figures.  The plot centers around Bletchley Park during World War II, where mostly women worked as codebreakers trying to crack the German and Italian codes.  Today we know that their work was critical to the allied victory, but back then their work was strictly classified and […]

Night Witches and Nazi Hunters!

The Huntress: A Novel by Kate Quinn

November 12, 2020 by ElCicco Leave a Comment

A couple of Cannonballs ago, I reviewed Kate Quinn’s novel The Alice Network, a work of historical fiction about female spies and the two world wars. With The Huntress, Quinn returns to familiar ground. This riveting novel is set during WWII and the five years following the end of the war. Like The Alice Network, The Huntress features strong female characters who defy social norms, taking on jobs traditionally reserved for men and insisting on getting their due. It’s a long story that reads very […]

Lady Spies Rule

The Alice Network by Kate Quinn

May 29, 2020 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

I grabbed this book during my last in-person visit to the library where I was panic grabbing books to stock up prior to the closure. I’ve been a big fan of Reese’s book club and dove back to the beginning: this was the second of her picks (I had already read and enjoyed her first pick, “Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine.” This book was interesting but took a lot for me to get through, which I think was a combo of it’s hard to focus […]

“I have no interest in your orders, I have no interest in what was legal at the time”

The Huntress by Kate Quinn

July 30, 2019 by Jen K Leave a Comment

Bingo Square: History Schmistory Kate Quinn’s follow up to The Alice Network once again follows multiple timelines and perspectives, though the timelines are much closer together this time around and involve three people.  After a short prologue which includes the only part from the perspective of the titular huntress and a newspaper article introducing the war crimes the huntress committed during World War II, the novel alternates between the character views of Jordan, a teenage girl living in 1946 Boston.  Her widowed father, an antiquarian, […]

Must-read historical fiction.

The Huntress by Kate Quinn

July 17, 2019 by kella Leave a Comment

CBR11 Bingo – History/Schmistory   After reading Quinn’s previous novel, The Alice Network, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on her new book. I adore her way of portraying women in historical fiction – finding the badass women who are the heroines of the story, not the background players. One part of this story follows the journey of Nina Markova, as she journeys from the wilds of the Soviet Union to Moscow, in order to join the Night Witches – a legendary group of […]
