It’s been a very strange first week after Labor Day, hasn’t it? It’s that odd “no time but possibly any time and which season is it again?” feeling of the pandemic. I’m going to have to up my pumpkin-themed baking and ghost story consumption to make it feel like fall! On the plus side, it’s…

So, when these books come out, don’t say you weren’t warned…. First up was Marie Benedict’s The Mystery of Mrs. Christie. It’s no…

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…
