4/5
@thestorygraph for "The Case of the Platinum Blonde" by Christopher Bush. Book 6/15 for my #DeanStreetDecember doth conscience make cowards of us all (or at least of Travers and his readers)? Worth finding out, imo.

An intriguing start to "The Case of the Platinum Blonde", book 6/15 for my #DeanStreetDecember - Ludovic Travers directly pointing a fully loaded Chekhov's Rifle straight at the readers in chapter 1. 😀 #AmReading #ebooks #Kobo #GoldenAgeMysteries @bookstodon

TFW a paragraph about #English names in a book on etymology puts a snippet of #German poetry you last read 30+ years ago into your head: "Es war einmal ein lattenzaun mit zwischenraum, hindurchzuschaun" (Bonus points for any who know why the poem always reminds me of Emo Philips😀) #AmReading #etymology #nonfiction #poetry #Deutsch #ebooks #Kobo @bookstodon

Why do I love my #Kobo? Not just because I can read 1-handed, though that's critical. When I am on holiday far from home with long passages of passenger travel ahead, I have a diverse library at my fingertips, as my "currently reading" list @thestorygraph shows
Regency Romance, Golden Age style locked room mystery, indigenous Māori/Pasifika shorts, physics popsci and however one categorises @scalzi 😁#AmReading #ebooks @bookstodon #Aotearoa #Mystery #ScienceFiction #Science #Romance
