Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
This week was a bit of the old and the new. (But nothing borrowed or blue.) I started off with Lucy Foley’s The Hunting Party, contemporary psychological suspense very much in the style of Ruth Ware’s In a Dark, Dark Wood. Needing something a bit lighter after that, I went back to an old favorite…

Spring is on the calendar (if not quite yet in the air), which means… it’s Pinkorama time! Yes, that’s right: it’s the 9th Annual Pinkorama (aka Pink Carnation Peep Diorama) Contest.

I don’t have anything fun to share this week, since I’ve mostly been living in the seventeenth century, reading up on the reign of Charles I, daily life in Stuart England, and Stuart court culture. Not that that isn’t fun– I do adore the absurdity of life, and the seventeenth century was very good at…
Read MoreThe 2019 Book Schedule!

And, because I was feeling slightly loopy, I’ve provided a coffee pairing for each book. — February 26th, The English Wife paperback. Pairs well with a white…

When it comes to reading time, long plane rides are the best. (Don’t tell me there’s wi-fi on board. I don’t want to hear it.) On my way to Florida last weekend, I gobbled up the third book in Lucy Parker’s London Celebrity contemporary romance series, Making Up, about an aerialist and a make-up artist.…
