I'm in the middle of Time of Flies and really loving it. I did not realize it was a sequel. Its my third Pineiro and I will keep going with her books for sure. What a lovely group to be joining you.
I really enjoyed reading the White Book with you! And this week’s events in South Korea have been so extraordinary in the light of reading Human Acts 😢. It really shows the value of reading globally!
Your Claudia Piñeiro group project is wonderful. Such a rewarding author to focus on. I enjoyed the discussion you and Tilly had on Nightbloom, and I had similar thoughts about the start.
What an incredible month you've had, Ros--all of this fiction, plus all of the non-fiction you talked about in the last video! I'm really enjoying our Pineiro group. I have not read any Han Kang yet, and you have definitely caught my interest.
_First!_ 12 books in one month is voracious 😮🎉😅 You always turn me on to new books. For fiction, I'm buddy reading _Beautyland,_ next year. "The Hound of ..." is a great Holmes story, isnt it? Can't wait for the Sherlock Holmes Group, again, next year ♧
@scallydandlingaboutthebook2711 You'll have to join Greg, Mark (Elvis), Jim, and Debs next year (I forget which month!) for the annual Holmes event. IMA read Dan Simmons' _The Fifth Heart,_ which has Holmes as a character. 👮
The White Book l is the only other Han Kang I’ve read apart from The Vegetarian and I really liked it. The way she talked about things you automatically associate with white and then other things that you wouldn’t at first. Beautiful language and often quite emotional. I’m with you Ros, less is more, let me find things out for myself or not find them out and be ok with that.
How wonderful to see your listing! I haven't read any Christie in years, but I think I might pick one up over the holidays. And Han King really needs to be on my TBR sometime soon... (I'm afraid I am unbelievelably behind on booktube but hope to be catching up over the next few days. I have been missing you and the other wonderful people in our little corner of booktube.)
@@HannahsBooks it's lovely to hear from you. I can't keep up either you know. Sometimes it's a toss up between reading, making a video or watching some. Mostly reading wins!
I haven't read any Piñeiro yet, but now I'm gonna have to check her out! I'm on a journey to find out definitively if I like crime novels or not and I want to see if a more "literary" crime novel might be my speed. Thank you for the recommendation!
You sold me on reading more Claudia Piñeiro. Not 100% sold on Han Kang, however. I loved the Vegetarian and bailed on Human Acts. Maybe I should give White Book a try. Like you, I respond best to a lot of white space in a novel; I like room for my imagination.

@@sarah-roadworthy we need to do another buddyread sometime!
@@scallydandlingaboutthebooks Yes! Let's think of some options
Good books don’t always fit our tastes. I look forward to your discussion of Night Bloom
@@BookishTexan it's true. Night Bloom really sounded like a Ros book though.

@@BookChatWithPat8668 you read so much and so widely Pat I feel surprised if I can recommend an author you haven't read!
@ oh believe me, Ros, there are many, many authors I haven’t read! You make many wonderful recommendations!
You read such a great mix of interesting books Ros😊 I hope your December reads are going well xx
@@CharlieBrookReads I've been luxuriating in Christie, Conan Doyle and Piñeiro so far.
Hi Ros 👋🏽 I'm looking forward to becoming acquainted with Han Kang. I've enjoyed reading Piñeiro with you and the group.
@@books_and_bocadillos you make a wonderful contribution to the group.

@@bighardbooks770 I'm having such fun with Holmes. I don't think I fully appreciated the stories I read when I was younger.

@bighardbooks770 I'll watch out for it.
I have Nightbloom on my bookshelf but haven’t read it yet. Look forward to hearing your review of it.

It's very distinctive and grew on me as I saw the thread through the different vignettes. Emotional as you say.

The White Book might suit you better. It is delicate and thought-provoking.
@@scallydandlingaboutthebooks Yes, that sounds good. 👌
I've not picked up Hallowe'en Part yet, and I probably still will but I will be lowering my expectations a little now
