I love historical fiction set in the 1920’s, so I was really excited to get an early copy of Teetotaled to check out. It did not disappoint! The heroine, Lola, has a very dry, sarcastic sense of humor which I adored, and this book kept me chuckling all the way through.

The mystery in Teetotaled was just as entertaining. It kept me guessing, and the cast of suspects and supporting characters made me feel like I was watching a BBC production of Jeeves and Wooster.

Cozy mystery fans as well as historical fiction aficionados who don’t mind a dose of humor are sure to enjoy this book!

<i>Note: I received a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.</I>

My son really enjoyed it and asked me to read it as well., I was not as impressed as he was. Feels like a mix of Hunger Games and Divergent, with a few other dystopian ideas tossed into a blender and mashed up to create a new world. It wasn't horrible, but not what I would consider a great book. I will give it points that the end did leave you wanting to know what happens next, so made me want to move on to the next in the series. I will give it brownie points for capturing my son's attention. He is very picky about books, and mainly chooses non-fiction, so any fiction book that captures him deserves some credit.

I remember when the book, 'The Innocent Man' came out, and how it was a BFD that John Grisham had written a non-fiction book. If it had been written as fiction, you wouldn't be able to believe it.
The docu-series covers two cases in which it seems that the wrong people were convicted off of bunk evidence and false confessions. It was well put together, for the most part, but it does skip around, so if you're not paying close enough attention, it can get confusing. It was very easy to watch all of the episodes back to back.

I have a feeling that there may be a 2nd season, since one of the cases is still ongoing.

This is a short story that was published in the New Yorker. The tale is strange and intriguing and fits perfectly into Ishiguro’s style. I listened to this story on the New Yorker’s fiction podcast which I would highly recommend as the reader spends time discussing the story as well as giving a reading. I really enjoyed this story and would definitely recommend it.This is a short story that was published in the New Yorker. The tale is strange and intriguing and fits perfectly into Ishiguro’s style.

not enough for me
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book

Ten maids to Master Marius tell their story, identified only by the job and the colour of their underwear.

This was an easy read, erotic flash fiction, 49 pages. It didn't do very much for me, though, and I found 9 stories almost identical. The tenth is different in the the Maid is in control, rather than Marius but there was still the reference to her colour underwear, and what she felt about the other maids.

It was reasonably well written, and delivers what it claims to be: short erotic fiction.

It just wasn't ENOUGH for me, but I did finish it.

3 stars
