When I placed What Happened on my TBR I was apprehensive. Did I want to read about the 2016 election so soon? But then I read Unbelievable by Katy Tur and was reinvigorated so I placed a hold at my library and, since I live in a Red State and went for the audio-book, I didn’t have to wait very long. As fate would have it I received my copy on Mueller Monday and listened on my commute on days that included the uplifting election results of November 7th so […]
More of Lady Julia’s (mis)adventures
This is book five in the Lady Julia Grey series, and apparently the last one since it was published in 2011 and nothing else full length is forthcoming. There are a few novellas that follow this but that’s it. It may not be a bad thing to end it, as the characters seemed to be stuck in a rut as far as growth. As usual, the book starts with Julia trying to persuade her now husband Brisbane that she is capable of joining him in […]
Family First
I think everyone has been looking back on the Bush presidency more favorable now, he can thank our Cheetoh in Chief for that one, but I’ve been a fan of Jenna Bush Hager since she joined The Today Show in 2009. She mentions that she was always really irritated by the press attention she received as First Daughter but, in an ironic turn, one of her best friends now is Today Anchor Savannah Guthrie. She has a gregarious personality and, as I constantly tell my husband, we could probably […]
Finding Repentance
This is book three in the Sins of the City series, and it wraps up the thread of mystery that has been running through the previous books. I’m not sure if I can avoid revealing some spoilers from the first two books, and you really need to read the whole series to get full understanding of what is going on. In fact, this one backtracks somewhat to start with, to reveal some of the details from the end of book two. An investigation has been […]
More March family madness
This is book four in the Lady Julia Grey series, and it begins with the newly wedded couple of Julia and Brisbane on their extended honeymoon. They are enjoying their connubial bliss, away from the clutches of the March family, but this bliss is interrupted by the arrival of Julia’s sister Portia and brother Plum. Portia is on a mission to India, in a manner of speaking, to be with the woman who left her previously so that she could have a normal life and […]
Sometimes I need reading homework
4/5 Stars So the idea I had for myself, to give myself some reading structure is based on finding a review for this history and adding some fiction to supplement it. I love the Gilded Age, and I think it’s incredibly weird and interesting of a time period. We know a lot about the world and culture of the Gilded Age because it’s the same world that inhabits all the Wild West novels and movies, it’s the world post-Civil War, and it’s the cultural ethos […]
