It's time for my weekly round-up on media I've acquired, whether it be advanced reader's copies from NetGalley and Edelweiss, library borrows, or purchases. #Bookthreads #Books #Booksky #BookBlogger #StackingtheShelves #LibraryLove #BannedBooks #MaryRussell #KnaveOfDiamonds #LaurieRKing #BookReviews

Hirohito, the previous emperor of Japan, including before and during WWII came up in thread.

Remembering now how Hirohito was presented as an ethereal, barely natural being in #LaurieRKing's book Dreaming Spies (2015).

I love reading of #MaryRussell and her older husband in the series but the apparent indifference of the author to mass murder, enslavement and torture is troubling.

Thinking of #DetectiveSeries I've enjoyed the most.

Ones that explore what it is to be #Humane seem to do it for me.

Got any others that explore the humane thing?
