I definitely recommend it! The book is narrated by the younger sister observing all her older siblings' lives and romances, and it's such good fun.

I'm currently reading The Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer, and it is absolutely delightful. I don't know how I've missed out on Georgette Heyer for so many years.

That does sound good! I added it to my Amazon wish list so I won't forget the title.

Georgette Heyer is a great author! I always intend to read more of her books. One of these days. You clearly have good taste in books, Petrichor.

I finished The Stone Wall, wonderful story. I love Beverly Lewis!! Up next for me is The Gold in These Hills by Joanne Bischoff. First time reading this author.

Just listened to 4:50 from Paddington by Agatha Christie.

I finished The Gold in These Hills, fantastic book. Up next for me is Dreams of Savannah by Roseanna M. White.

I've been working my way through The Legacy of The Force star wars series. I normally adore star wars, but this series has been a lot more soap opera-y than I like. I do like the glimpses into Mandalorian culture and language though. I'm currently on book 6: Inferno.

I finished The Sugarcreek Surprise, wonderful book. Up next for me is Before I Called You Mine by Nicole Deese, first time reading this author.

I have not had time to do much reading lately. However, in my spare time I did recently read the newest book in the Last Chance Detectives book series, Revenge of the Phantom Hot Rod, which I thought was really good! I also recently read What Money Can't Buy, by Michael Sandel, another good book. At some point I will finish reading The Friendly Dickens, by Norrie Epstein which I started a while ago.

Recently read the book "Counseling the Hard Cases." Excellent read.

I'm currently reading The Bookseller's Promise by Beth Wiseman. It is the first book in her Amish Bookstore series/trilogy.

Convalescence in the Nineteenth-Century Novel by Hosanna Krienke


-- I have a couple weeks before I have to return it to the library...hopefully can finish most of it by then! Makes you really think about what further improvements can look like for recovering patients!

I am currently reading Trace of Doubt by DiAnn Mills.

I recently started "Wonder Dogs: True Stories of Extraordinary Assistance Dogs" by Maureen Maurer and it already has me tearing up! The stories so far as incredibly sweet and moving....and I'm not even a dog person.

I finished Trace of Doubt, very good. Up next for me is Count the Nights by Stars by Michelle Shocklee.

I'm starting "To Disguise the Truth" by Jen Turano. It's the third in her Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency series. I found the first two books okay but not amazing...but I like to read all the books in a series unless it's really bad, and I already bought it, so I might as well read it. I might take a break and not buy her next books.

I finished Count the Night by Stars, wonderful story. Up next for me is Roots of Wood and Stone by Amanda Wen. First time reading this author.

I am currently reading Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters.

I finished A Dance in Donegal, wonderful story. Up next for me is Nothing Short of Wondrous by Regina Scott, it is the second book in her American Wonders Collection.

Reading Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, The Bible, Disability, and the Church by Amos Yong, and The Autobiography of Theodore Roosevelt by Theodore Roosevelt.

I finished Nothing Short of Wondrous, excellent story. Up next for me is When the Meadow Blooms by Ann H. Gabhart.

I started "Claiming Her Legacy" by Linda Goodnight. It's good so far.
