Pink Carnation Read Along Month 8: THE ORCHID AFFAIR
Thanks so much to everyone who joined in to discuss The Mischief of the Mistletoe last week! And I so apologize for the failure to livestream/record. I’m coming up with a plan to do a make-up Mistletoe event later in the year to make up for it. But now it’s time to head across the Channel…

Happy Friday, all! And happy last weekend of August. It’s very hard to believe that next week will be September already…. I started the week with Now You See Them, the fifth book in Elly Griffiths’s Brighton Mysteries, which rather surprised me by jumping ahead to ten years later, to the mid 1960s, where the…

Happy Friday from high in the mountains! I have a pile of books I’m meant to read— and even some books I want to read— but I’ve been on an uncontrollable Brighton Mysteries binge. You know how it is when you enter a world and just have to stay there until the books run out?…

Happy Friday, all! I have been deep in the double-deadline vortex, finishing up the new Team W book and fighting my way through the middle of the Cuba book, so I went back to my favorite sort of comfort read: British mysteries, both new and old. Does anyone else out there read Elly Griffith’s Ruth…

It’s time for the one we’ve all been waiting for, the escapades of that beloved root vegetable, Turnip Fitzhugh, in the Austen-inspired madcap holiday romp, The Mischief of the Mistletoe. Take one unexpected…

Happy Friday, all! I launched this latest reading week by staying up far too late devouring Deborah Royce’s The Ruby Falls in one go. (So much for “I’ll just read a chapter or two”…. Does anyone EVER really just read a chapter or two? Asking for a friend.) Set in the 80s, as a young…

Happy Friday, all! It’s been a whirlwind week in the double deadline vortex: working on both the Team W book and my own current book. But it was also a week of some highly satisfying light reading. After finishing a particularly grim thriller last weekend, I felt in need of some happy comfort reads, so…
