More Zoom Fun!
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…

Happy July 4th weekend everyone! This may not be the 4th we were all hoping for, but one thing stays the same: there will always be books.

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,…
Read MoreZoom With Me! 6/23 and 6/25
I have clearly been reading “Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus” way too much, because all I can think is, “Zoom, zoom, zoom! Zoomy zoom zoom! Author at the library!” Not just one library, two libraries! On Tuesday (tomorrow!), at 7:00 EST, I’ll be zooming with Cary Memorial Library in Lexington, MA– although you…

I won’t lie, I’ve still been having my Patricia Wentworth Genteel-British-Murders-of-the-Midcentury-athon (wouldn’t that make a wonderful German compound noun?), but I’ve finally branched out to some other books that have been on my TBR forever and kicking myself for having waited so long. Thank you to everyone here who has (repeatedly) recommended Jodi Taylor’s St.…
Read MoreTHE SUMMER COUNTRY– now in paperback!
It’s hard to believe it’s June already, isn’t it? But here we are, and here The Summer Country is, now in paperback! The New York Times bestselling historical novelist delivers her biggest, boldest, and most ambitious novel yet—a sweeping Victorian epic of lost love, lies, jealousy, and rebellion set in colonial Barbados. Barbados, 1854. Emily Dawson has…

Don’t you hate it when a new book comes out in a series you love and you don’t realize it? And then you do and it’s both wonderful and also annoying. Annoying because you could have read it a month ago. But wonderful because you have it now. And then you go and double-check all…
