Happy Reading!

Karly: escapism is good! Nice month for you. I keep meaning to read the Deborah Harkness books. The 24 hours of book one on audio has been daunting; not because I don't expect to enjoy it, but because of the other books it will displace to make time for it. I will have to see if I can squeeze it in.

Totally get that Ann! I feel like I’m constantly thinking of each book in terms of how long it’ll take and how many I can fit in, like reading Tetris. I do recommend the Harkness All Souls Trilogy though! Lots of fun magical fantasy and a lot of interesting historical tid bits as well!

Karly, we share two passions: the All Souls Trilogy and the John Verdon series. Good month from my perspective!

Thanks Carol! That was my first Verdon book and I really loved it!
