Weekly Reading Round-Up
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…

Happy Friday, all! I’ve finally been reading through some more of the Books Many People Have Said I Must Read, starting with Tia Williams’s Seven Days in June, an utterly engaging contemporary romance served up with a strong slug of social satire as a successful writer of erotica (heroine) and a celebrated author of Serious…

Happy Friday, all! This will be a very short post this week, because most of my reading was for a top secret project I can’t tell you about yet. (If anything comes of it, I promise, you’ll hear about it!). I did, however, take a break from background reading for the Book That Shall Not…

Happy Friday, all! And happy 4th! I have to confess to feeling thoroughly discombobulated. New York just zigzagged from an intense July-ish heat wave that made me want to re-read all my sweltering, summer-set Elizabeth Peters and Barbara Michaels novels (Devil May Care, Houses of Stone, and Stitches in Time are THE summer heat wave…

Happy Friday, all! It’s been a crazy week ping-ponging back and forth between the 1890s book and the new Team W book and various other work-related dramas, but whenever I can steal a moment, I’ve been reveling in Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club. (A recommendation from my wonderful best friend who has been providing…

Happy Friday, all! This week was a comfort read/ edgy read sandwich for me. I reverted back to Patricia Wentworth with one of her stand alone novels, Silence in Court. I was a bit skeptical– the premise is that a Miss Carey Silence is on trial for the murder of an elderly friend of the…
