په دې ځمکه کې څومره خلک مشهور دی،

خو په آسمانونو کښې ناڅرګند دی.

او په دې ځمکه کې څومره ناڅرګند دی،

مګر په آسمانونو کې مشهور دی.

How many people are famous on this earth,

but unknown in the heavens.

And how many are unknown on this earth,

but famous in the heavens.

“The dog was fond of music; when on board the ship he would listen with great attention and apparent pleasure to the sailor’s songs while they or any body was singing […] Nevertheless the good captain took it into his head to learn vocal music & I for want of a better was selected to be his teacher. We now began to go thro’ the musical scales do, re, mi, fa, &C but poor Azor, dilettante as he was, could not bear the harsh sounds that issued from my pupil’s voice. As soon as we began the gamut, he set up such lamentable yells, that we were soon compelled to abandon our melodious exercises. The dog nevertheless continued to listen to other music, & did not lose his taste for that delightful art. But the gamut he never afterwards could bear; the moment any one began with do, re, mi, fa, he began his terrible howl & nothing would quieten him but some tune more to his taste. The captain pronounced that the dog had no ear for music; he was, nevertheless, greatly mortified that the animal’s taste did not coincide with his own.”

— Beaumarchais and the American Revolution, by Brian N. Morton · 2003

“[Peter Stephen Duponceau] undertook to give voice lessons to the ship’s captain, Pierre Landais of the French Royal Navy. Landais had determination but little talent, and his off-key caterwauling kept everyone amused—everyone, that is, except Azor, who took offense at Landais’s vocal endeavors and howled piteously whenever the captain took it in his head to sing.”

— The Drillmaster of Valley Forge: The Baron de Steuben and the Making of the American Army, by Paul D. Lockhart

Book people!!!

I need your help! I've been reading Ali Hazelwoods books and I love them so much but I also absolutely love crime and mystery books (Defending Jacob by William Landay is my all time favourite book) does anyone have any recommendations that could possibly bridge these two genres? Detective romance book? Mystery romance? I have no clue really but I'm open to suggestions
