Totally randomly, all three books I read this week feature fake engagements. And honestly, that's okay by me, because who doesn't love a fake engagement, whether it's for the good of the country, to win a cooking contest, or to save your life? Okay, stakes may vary here, but they're all fun, and I do … Continue reading Reading Roundup #17: Let’s (Not?) Get Hitched!
This reading week was particularly good – new discoveries, an old favorite, and the continuing delight of Victoria Thompson's "Gaslight Mystery" series. The Hundred and One Dalmatians by Dodie Smith: Did you know the movie 101 Dalmatians is based on a book? And that it's delightful? I did not, but now we both do! Smith's … Continue reading Reading Roundup #13: A Million and One Things to Love
Hello, reading friends! After a week without internet, I am back and ready to tell you about all the lovely books I read while buried under a mountain of blankets.

In short, I had a lot of fun. The Gentleman and the … Continue reading Reading Roundup #9: The Lies of Gentlemen and Thieves
Ready time was sadly limited this week, but I managed to devour a few more Gaslight Mysteries, and I've several books in-progress that I'll finish soon – hopefully in time to include them in next week's Roundup! "Gaslight Mystery" books #2-4 by Victoria Thompson: So... I'm kinda obsessed with these books now. Sarah and Frank … Continue reading Reading Roundup #8: Murder by Death!
Why yes, we have been busy this week! The best thing about work holidays is all the reading time! And with the exception of a Bridgerton marathon on Christmas day, I didn't waste a minute of reading time (not that watching Bridgerton was a waste, of course). We've got an old favorite in the ranks … Continue reading Reading Roundup #7: Can You Do the Fandango?
