Weekly Reading Round-Up
Happy Friday, all! It won’t surprise anyone to hear that I’ve been reading my way through more of Patricia Wentworth’s Miss Silver series (seriously, so soothing). But I also have a wonderful treat lined up on my Kindle, two upcoming books I’ve been dying to read: Stephanie Dray’s The Women of Chateau Lafayette, which goes…

Happy Friday, all! This week, I took a break from my Miss Silver marathon (okay, not a total break– I did read Latter’s End, and don’t ask me what number in the series it is, because I’ve lost all track!) with a new release from one of my favorite “I would read a telephone book…

I’ve been very dull this week and reverted to reading mid-century mysteries again: Mary Roberts Rinehart’s The Door, which ranks low on my list of Rineharts for a variety of reasons, and Patricia Wentworth’s Dark Threat (I prefer the older title, Pilgrim’s Rest), which is number 9 or 10 in the Miss Silver mystery series,…

It’s been an absolutely banner reading week for me with not one but two new books in very different genres. Hearing my bat signals of copy edit distress (copy edits always cause distress), my amazing college roommate e-sent me Alexis Hall’s Boyfriend Material, in which the estranged son of two 80’s rock legends has to…

Come Zoom with me! We may not have in person events right now, but the wonders of Zoom bring author talks right to your living room– to anywhere in the world, in real time, which is really kind of amazing. You can find me next Thursday, July 23rd, “at” Mansfield Public Library, talking all things…

The Miss Silver Mysteries Marathon continues (this time with tersely named) The Key, but I’m so very grateful to the wonderful Kate Moretti for breaking up with Miss Silvers with an advance copy of her compulsively readable upcoming ghost story/mystery/thriller, The Girls of Brackenhill. I finished it in a day– much to the detriment of…
