a truly outstanding crime thriller, highly recommended. The only reason it didn't get 5/5 is that the author committed a truly HEINOUS crime in the writing of the book - calling Crowded House an AUSSIE band! 😡🤬🤣 #AmReading#ebooks#Kobo@bookstodon#Aotearoa#Australia#Mystery#thriller

2/5 @thestorygraph for A Finer End, book 7 in the Kincaid & James series by Deborah Crombie. My 61st book of 2024, it dragged my average down to under 4.1/5 , thanks to my zero tolerance for mysticism & mumbo-jumbo in mysteries. I skmmed through it 90 minutes, only reading to keep up with developments in Gemma & Duncan's lives. I hope the series leaves the woo-woo behind now. #AmReading#ebooks#Kobo#Mystery@bookstodon#TheStoryGraph
#AmReading A Finer End, book 7 in the Kincaid & James series by Deborah Crombieset in Glastonbury & apart from all the tedious mystic mumbo-jumbo, the eons-old fixation on a tiny hill reminded me a Kiwi acquaintance in the UK who, when a colleague said he was going mountain climbing on the weekend, asked "Have you imported some?" 😆 #ebooks#Mystery#Kobo@bookstodon

After an online training on #ReadersAdvisory for Millennials and Generation Z, I made a mega list on Libby called “Romantasy” and ended up needing arthritis cream on my wrist today with all the mouse work. Overdrive findability is tough. Metadata is scant. Neither author nor genre searches recovered most of these. It’s almost like they want to bury your old content licences. #Romantasy#LibbyApp#librarian#bookstodon#ebooks#curation @bookstodon @librarians
TFW you're reading a mystery set in the UK written by a UK resident author and your keen detective abilities make you think "hmmmm, US edition?"🤔 #AmReading#mystery@bookstodon#ebooks#Kobo
"Most of the papers in this volume originated as presentations at the conference Biblical Hebrew and Rabbinic Hebrew: New Perspectives in Philology and Linguistics, which was held at the University of Cambridge, 8–10th July, 2019. The aim of the conference was to build bridges between various strands of research in the field of Hebrew language studies that rarely meet, namely philologists working on Biblical Hebrew, philologists working on Rabbinic Hebrew and theoretical linguists."

"Taken together, the essays reveal the dynamics of what the editors call an "imperial commons," a lively, empire-wide print culture. They show that neither empire nor book were stable, self-evident constructs. Each helped to legitimize the other."
