The tin has spoken.
Next read for fiction:
Great tales of detection has 19 short stories selected and introduced by Dorothy L. Sayers. This collection was originally published in 1936, but it's still easy to find this more "recent" edition from Everyman.
Sayers edited several short stories collections and besides the interesting stories, she also wrote insightful introductions about the history and development of the genre.
I'll be using an Oxford related bookmark.
Next read for non-fiction:
Howdunit is a collection of essays about the genre and the work of detective, crime, thrillers authors. The articles are all from the past and present members of The Detection Club, organised and edited by Martin Edwards.
Bookmark from the Portuguese edition of The Floating Admiral, also a The Detection Club work.

Of possible interest. Personally, I'd consider the Maddow book, in part due to the topic, and in part because I've read other books by her, which I have liked.

@bookstodon Please recommend a good basic privacy-respecting non-social reading list tracker for iOS/macOS. My reading list is a mix of print, audio, and library books. Once read, I like to note how well I liked it, if I didn't finish (and why), and make a few optional comments. What works for you and why? Thanks for your boosts and help!

I finished How to Hide an Empire and I didn't think I could be more disgusted with the U.S., but I am. And I even already knew a lot of what was in the book.

On follow up from Dr. Chuck Tingle, re: the TxLA . He keeps it classy and kind.

BTW, over on cielito azul, Chuck Tingle is also promoting his new book, Bury Your Gays, which you can preorder. He states it is "the queer horror novel that is so gay it gets you kicked out of texas. "

Just for that I think I need to add it to my to read.

I have so many more unread books on our shelves than I'll ever read. Each of those books is somewhere on my TBR
list. I'm thinking that I might complement my list with a list. There are so many (and more and more)
books, and I have so little (and less and less) time in front of me when I might read them. Obviously, winnowing
the collection would help to declutter our small space, but might it also declutter my mind?

@claudiac Thanks to the smart readers on Mastodon, I have a long list BUT several are unavailable to me because they aren't yet published in North America. I am an old fashioned reader who uses paper rather than a screen, and reads rather than listens. So I am really PO'd that Hannah Kent's Devotion is not available to me in Canada nor is the Georgi Gospodinov's Time Shelter nor is Hanna Pylväine's The End of Drum Time.You'd think that book publishers could , right, @bookstodon ?

PSA: 'Dear Committee Members', by Julie Schumacher, is a perfect book. If you are an academic of any sort, you must read it. If you are a non-academic, it may not charm you in the same way, but since it is a perfect book you must read it anyway.

Please observe the obscene number of hashtags I have put below, in the attempt taht as many people as possible see this message.

Someone in the other place got me onto sharing 1 randomly selected kindle book a day from my enormous collection. Here are my first three.

The Conductors by Nicole Glover is superb. Magical, mystery, historical & a romance all rolled into a fantastic package.

The Twisted Tree by Rachel Burge is a nordix YA horror & it's fantastic.

A Spirited Tail by Leighann Dobbs is book 2 in the cozy Mystic Notch series & features cats who talk to each other & an oblivious ghost-seeing MC.

I present to you: my September TBR! I think it's pretty reasonable but then again I'm cheating and starting today with Untamed Shore by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Not shown is my digital TBR which consists of Gideon the Ninth of which I have read three quarters already.

Really looking forward to Pet Semetary by Stephen King. Heard very good things about Pachinko but the size scares me a bit.

Have you read THE NARROW LAND (Atlantic Books) by Christine Dwyer Hickey? The novel, which won the eleventh , explores the marriage of the artists Edward and Jo Hopper.
