"I'll do it, if I can keep the rifle," I said. "That's a murder weapon. You want no association with that." [...] "It's such a nice murder weapon, though."

"When bears find they have occasion for intra-species negotiation over females or territory, they employ their teeth in much the same manner as men use lawyers." This book has an interesting premise and while I'm not usually a fan of first-person narratives, I'm enjoying it thus far.

Really enjoying this so far but has to return it to the library before I could finish it. have put myself back on hold for it!

This is supposedly set in the Regency period and yet this character apparently saw multiple Tchaikovsky ballets in London. This book has a fun premise but if there are more glaring errors like this I may not be able to finish it.

I was really looking forward to this but so far I have to agree with the other reviewers that the author is speculating a LOT. I'll keeping reading it but it'll probably be put on the back burner for a while.

The sections on organization of your research are so helpful! I've been so busy working on reorganizing my own research I haven't finished reading the book.

So excited to start this, I've been waiting ages for Diana's story!

I'm skipping around a bit this first time thru for things that are most relevant for me, but so far I've found lots of things that are very helpful.

There's no way I'm going to be getting through all of this before I have to return it but I'll do my best

I'm trying to read at least a chapter a night. Some interesting stuff so far, some more practical for me than others.

Not sure I should be reading this before bed, I'm going to spook myself.

I wish I'd realized this was illustrated before I got the ebook from the library. I'd rather read a physical copy for something like that. Regardless, I'm enjoying it so far.

I like the reference to Persuasion in Book 4, Chapter 4.

It's hard to judge with an ebook since the number of pages change depending on your font size, etc.

"Amelia McNaughton took corners as though they were a personal affront." Lol.

Finished with the first two novellas and about one chapter in to the last one.

Bought the ebook last night and just started reading. I loved the TV series so I'm looking forward to thus!

Just (finally) started watching the HBO series so I decided to read the book, as well. Haven't actually started it yet, unfortunately.
