Weekly Reading Round-Up
Books, books, everywhere, and not a thing to read. I’m just about finished with the book I’m currently reading and have no idea what to pick up next. Any thoughts? Here’s what I’ve been reading over the past few days: — Susan Holloway Scott, The Countess and the King. Subtitled “A Novel of the Countess…

I just got the happy news that my British publisher will be putting out a UK edition of The Mischief of the Mistletoe. I don’t have a release date or a cover yet, but once I do, you’ll see them here. In the meantime, The Temptation of the Night Jasmine will be coming out in…

Penelopeep dives into the Krishna River to rescue Freddy’s groom in this scene from The Betrayal of the Blood Lily, recreated by Christine. Typical Pen– she just dives right in! On the shore, the onlookers panic. (Check out the scenic view from the Krishna in the background!) Meanwhile, back on the raft, Alex throws a…

An homage to The Masque of the Black Tulip! From Shenandoah, we have the dramatic capture of the Marquise de Montpeep. Lord Vaughn is the blue peep in the silver cravat. Turnip is styling a pink cravat (probably with carnations on it), while Miles and Henrietta are the yellow peeps exchanging soulful glances. The Marquise…
Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
This could be more aptly called Monthly Reading Round-Up. What with this and that, I’ve sadly neglected Weekly Reading Round-Up for the past few weeks. In recompense, here’s the latest haul: — Rosemary Clement-Moore, The Splendor Falls. I’ve long been a fan of Rosemary Clement-Moore’s Maggie books (girl versus evil!), but hadn’t read her stand-alone…

We have another Mispeep of the Mistletoe! In this rendition, by Sarah, Turnip looks on through the window as an agitated Miss Climpson informs Lizzy that, “We do not sit on people!” Sally appears to have fallen over the chair again. Next to the pageant, this is one of my favorite Mistletoe scenes. So, just…

Candace and Cassandra present… “Peepmas at Girdings”. I love that this combines both The Temptation of the Night Jasmine and The Mischief of the Mistletoe. As the house party at Girdings goes out into the woods to collect the Yuletide greenery on Christmas Eve, we can find Charlotte, in her red cloak, and Penelope, with…
