Okay. It took me more than a week to remember the name of book I
checked out the library in July and barely started. I tried to buy it,
but the bookstore said it wasn't being published in paperback till
August. (Funny that I had been reading the book in paperback, but
never mind.)
I woke up this morning with the name - The Lace Reader. I'm off today
to locate it. Author Brunonia Barry. I'm willing to highly recommend
this one even though I was only 50 pages into it.
Other than that.
I finished the Memory Keeper's Daughter which I enjoyed this week
while on vacation in the Outer Banks. There's some abruptness to the
shifts in this book, but still a good read.
My other vaca reading - Anne Morrow Lindbergh's The Gift of the Sea.
This woman was way ahead of her time. Still pertinent today. Also May
Sarton's The House by the Sea, which is essentially the poet's journal
of moving to house in York, Maine.
Just before leaving I read the Queen's Devotion - a bio of Queen Mary
II written by Jean Plaidy. I'm sure there are better bios out there.
But then I realized that this woman, whose real name is Eleanor
something or other, wrote tons of books. I'd read a lot of her
Victoria Holt books in my much younger days. And the publisher is
still publishing new books under her various pen names even though
she's been deceased since 1993. Interesting.

That's my throne room reading at work. The writing is so wonderful, the
thoughts so perfectly voiced, I like to take just a little bit at a time
and really savor it.

I'm reading my way through a set of mysteries by the Aussie author
Kerry Greenwood. They follow a private detective named Phryne Fisher
and occur in the 1920s but use very current themes. Love the details
of clothing, etc. that make the books come alive. Moni

I haven't read that set, but I LOVED her "Earthly Delights" books with
Corinna Chapman!
