Badelynge: January 2015
http://finxy.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 14 January 2015. The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline. The penultimate book in the series tones it down a bit, cutting back on the swinging from the roof fittings and other Errol Flynn style shenanigans. Instead Enola relies on her usual considerable talent for disguise, sketch making, cryptology and of course her endless supply of pluck. One of the better additions to the series.

New Year, New Blog, New Story. January 18, 2013. January 18, 2013. The year is 2013. The blog is – well, mine. And the story – well, that’s mine too, but it’s sort of long. And involved. And hopefully epic, with plenty of mystery and time to discover new things, because those are the best kind of stories. So far 2013 has brought me the flu, some good meals with great friends, several frustrating arguments with my computer, and a lot of laughter. New Year, New Blog, New Story. Topics That Keep Turning Up.

Badelynge: July 2014
http://finxy.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 30 July 2014. She came in like a lady, that April.'. McBain follows the poetic line with a calm, hopeful beginning in this 12th visit to Isola. He brings an air of shy innocence to the intro chapter with the cool, pale personification of the early Spring month being a gentle lady that cheers the populace with her approach. But on with the mayhem. Not that I'm missing him at all. From the gentle beginning, through the tangled investigation, true suspenseful tension and climactic finale I've...

Badelynge: October 2014
http://finxy.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, 25 October 2014. The Case of the Peculiar Pink Fan. There is certainly a good sizzle to the narrative when the two are on the same page; Enola confused by conflicting instincts and emotions and Sherlock just being himself . With such short books it also helps that this one picks up on a previous book (the second) including already established characters like Lady Cecily with whom Enola yearns to one day go sketching with. Fun one. Saturday, 18 October 2014. Lady, Lady, I Did It! View my complet...

Thursday, 2 July 2015. All You Need is Kill. Keiji Kiriya is a young recruit in the United Defence Force. He's cannon fodder in a war against a merciless alien race of invaders. Over-matched and lacking combat experience he takes fatal damage and dies. And then he wakes two days earlier with full memory of his death. Rita Vrataski, the Full Metal Bitch being the order of the day. It's a shame that Keiji and Rita are the only fully developed characters in the book though. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Image...

Badelynge: The Monogram Murders
http://finxy.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-monogram-murders.html
Friday, 19 June 2015. I'm still a bit scarred from reading Anthony Horowitz's authorised but horrifically inept treatment of Sherlock Holmes in House of Silk. Would a similar exercise be any better with Sophie Hannah resurrecting Poirot? I listened to the audio for this one. Julian Rhind-Tutt is a big asset to the production and I love his David Suchet Poirot impersonation. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Wave Without A Shore.

A Habit of Reading: Poetry Friday - Sara Teasdale (1884-1933)
http://ahabitofreading.blogspot.com/2009/04/poetry-friday-sara-teasdale-1884-1933.html
A Habit of Reading. Friday, April 10, 2009. Poetry Friday - Sara Teasdale (1884-1933). The roofs are shining from the rain,. The sparrows twitter as they fly,. And with a windy April grace. The little clouds go by. Yet the back yards are bare and brown. With only one unchanging tree-. I could not be so sure of Spring. Save that it sings in me. Poetry Friday is being hosted today at Carol's Corner. I've never read that one before! Love it and perfectly timed! April 10, 2009 at 6:08 PM. Oh I love this poem!
