Oh my! There’s so much here. I just finished Heartwood and can’t say enough about Amity Gaige’s story of a woman lost on the Appalachian Trail and the women who work so hard to try to find her. Regarding series, I resisted Jacqueline Winspear’s Maisie Dobbs series for a long time for the most ridiculous reason: I didn’t like the covers! Now I am sorry I can’t experience all 18 books for the first time again. As for Nordic noir, I’ve been savoring Helene Tursten’s Inspector Huss books for years and never want to get to the end. Her “Old Lady” books are evil and fun too.
I think we will finish Solenoid in July at this rate? It is the most conflicting experience for me to love the book but not be able to read it quickly? It is going against everything in me that says fast read = love and slow read = hate. I have made the big girl decision to just allow Solenoid to exist in the background, to read other books alongside and just see how long (with no plan) it actually takes me to finish this, but I WILL finish it, because it is so good! and so funny! but jesus it is so hard to read with any pace at all
I got through an entire 40 page section yesterday and it felt like running a marathon. i really wanted to be done before starting Middlemarch but July is looking more likely lol
40 pages is VERY impressive! I have put it down for a bit - I want to read some other books (I haven't finished a single book in may yet!!! that makes me uncomfortable lol) but I look forward to whenever I return. I will not be undertaking Middlemarch alongside this haha
“the vampiricism of organized religion on a malleable mind and the pull of our inherent animalism” - whoa. I don’t love vampire books, but that line is super intriguing.
Maybe time for one or two crimereads from Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö, the couple that started the swedish crime boom. ”Murder at the Savoy” perhaps.
Fabulous suggestion!!!

such a treasure trove of recs here - I've actually been resisting Heartwood because the of the cover so this is a great reminder
Godspeed with Solenoid!!! Rooting for you 💘
THANK YOU I NEED IT 🙊
