Weekly Reading Round-Up
Do you ever have those weeks where you can’t remember by the end just what you were reading? This was one of those for me. I started and put down a few books that just didn’t quite work for me and finally settled on a re-read of Jenny Colgan’s The Bookshop on the Corner, about…
Read MoreWebsite Reboot
That time has come again: the time for a rethink of the website. I’m going to be overhauling the whole site this spring– which is where you come in! What do you love about the website? What do you hate about it? Is there anything it’s missing? If there’s anything you think I should have–…
Read MoreNew Haven on Saturday!
If you’re in Connecticut, come join me in New Haven for the next stop on the English Wife tour! I’ll be at the Yale Bookstore on Saturday afternoon to discuss the freezing cold winter of 1899, Gilded Age scandal, the next Three Ws book (cover reveal coming soon!), and anything else you’d like me to…
Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
When you’re dealing with cranky small people with flu, only comfort re-reads will do. This week, I resorted to Daniel O’Malley’s The Rook, which passed the test of being just as amusing on a second read. A sci fi/mystery combo, the book follows a woman, highly placed in a top secret paranormal organization, who comes…

Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
Hello from book tour! One of the best parts of book tour is the long flights. Not because of the airplane coffee or those little cookies in wrappers. No. It’s having five or six uninterrupted hours to read. As I zigzagged back and forth across the country this week, I read: — Imbolo Mbue’s Behold…
Read MoreIf you like Downton Abbey….
It’s that time of year again. The time of year when one starts to yearn for crumpets and tea, acerbic comments from a Dowager Countess, and the antics of the Crawley family. Bookbub has a list of thirteen new books to alleviate those Downton blues (including The English Wife!). Adding some older books to the…
Read MoreHouston– Today!
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night nor icy weather in Houston can keep me, Deanna Raybourn, and Tasha Alexander away from a bookstore! Come find us tonight at Murder by the Book in Houston, where we’ll be reprising our famed song and dance routine (and, if we have enough cocktails first,…
Read MoreHouston– Tomorrow!
There is Weather. With a capital W. And not the good kind of “drink with umbrella by the pool” weather. BUT, as of now, Murder by the Book is planning to be open tomorrow night, and Deanna Raybourn, Tasha Alexander, and I are planning to be there to talk books and books and more books.…
