Your mention of Cho's descriptions of ballgowns etc. in lieu of actual historical atmosphere reminds me of my last RL book club meeting. I think everyone hated the book, but some people were really desperate to find something good in the book and mentioned that they really dug the description of one of the characters dresses. LoL. The book sucked and dresses do not create the required historical feel. Gaaaah....!!!
I hope your Bingo reads have turned a corner, too!
Bob Berman's book on the Sun is better than his other pop science books. For one thing, it's on one topic only, not a variety of topics with a specific theme.
I hope your Bingo reads have turned a corner, too!
I really liked "The Aeronauts Windlass" when I read it a few years ago. I hope you will like it as well. The cats in it are amazing.
And, if you're DNF'ing books during Halloween Bingo, now is probably the moment to do it with "Gods of Jade and Shadow".
