- I recently finished Barbara Michaels’s The Master of Blacktower, a generally entertaining Gothic romance set in the Highlands of Scotland. I have read all of her novels now except four. I’m a little sad to be approaching the end of this particular reading challenge. Once I’ve finished, there will be no more new Barbara Michaels novels to read.
- I am 158/387 pages into An Appetite for Violets by Martine Bailey. It is historical fiction, which is not a favorite genre of mine. I chose the book simply because it had “Violets” in the title. I wasn’t expecting much from it, but I’ve been enjoying it even though the story doesn’t have much to do with violets.
- I keep buying books. I know I shouldn’t, but I can’t seem to help myself. Among my recent purchases are some sequels to books that I really enjoyed. I will read those as soon as they arrive, because I’m looking forward to them. I also ordered some nonfiction books about puzzles and gardening with native plants.
