[quote=Anonymous]I’m reading The Theif and the Nightengale which was billed as a historical fiction mystery.  It’s truly awful and I’m gojng to ditch it.  I don’t know why editors let people publish stuff like this.  I think there’s actually a decent story, but it’s so buried in unnecessary adjective and adverbs and weighty metaphors that I can’t slog through to find it.  It might make a good Netflix series though, where they could just turn the adjectives into set/costume design or actor’s direction (you don’t have to guess how to smile!  The author has given you three adjectives to tell you how to smile!).

I did a big book order to prep for my trip to Spain so I think I’ll just move on to The Sun Also Rises which I read about 30 years ago and think I liked at the time.

I also ordered one called The Last Jew about the inquisition …. If anyone has read it, let me know if it will be worth the time!  I like historical fiction but there’s just so much bad historical fiction out there.  [/quote]
