Weekly Reading Round-Up
Happy Friday, all! You all know how much I love Golden Age mysteries. My Sayers and Tey are falling apart at the seams; Patricia Wentworth’s Miss Silver kept me company through the first year of the pandemic. But for some reason, I just can’t get into Dame Ngaio Marsh’s Inspector Alleyn mysteries. Periodically, I go…

Happy Friday, all! I hope everyone had a wonderful, safe, and happy holiday. A chance re-encounter with a Victoria Holt novel last week set me off on a mad Victoria Holt kick, and ever since then I’ve been wallowing in all the 6th grade feels with plucky schoolmistresses, brooding hero/villains, and wonderfully improbable plots. I…

Happy weekend, all! Apologies for being a bit late with the round up this week– I’m on deadline for the Cuba book and back in quarantine with one of the small people. Which I suppose is strangely appropriate since the heroine of the Cuba book is also currently in quarantine? At least we don’t have…

Happy Friday, all! We’ve suddenly gone from rain to sun in New York, and it’s starting to feel like it might actually be May after all. (Which is shocking. How is it May already? I need at least a month back….) In the meantime, this has been an excellent reading week, with a mix of…

The rain is pouring down today in proper Gothic fashion making today the perfect sort of day to stay in and read ghost stories. (I can totally just not pick up the kids from their schools, right?)

Happy Friday, all! So many thanks to everyone who zoomed in with me this week with Cary Memorial Library and Warren Newport Public Library— it was lovely seeing you! In reading news, I’ve been binge-reading Jodi Taylor’s St. Mary’s series about tea-sodden, disaster prone, time traveling historians. This week has been books two and three,…

Hello from the train to DC! I’m headed to historical fiction nirvana: the Historical Novel Society Conference where well over a hundred historical fiction authors are gathering to talk shop and share their favorite gossip from centuries past. It only seems appropriate to read some historical fiction on the way to HNS, so I’m currently…
