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 MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
It’s been a very seasonal week for me. I finished up a re-read of Trisha Ashley’s A Winter’s Tale, skipped spring, and went straight on to Jamie Brenner’s The Forever Summer, a multi-stranded narrative set in a B&B in Cape Cod about finding family and oneself. Because sometimes you just need a little summer in…
