What Fiction are you reading this week, Mar 7, 2021? [View all]




The Body in the Garden, Katharine Schellman. "London 1815. Though newly-widowed Lily Adler is returning to a society that frowns on independent women, she is determined to create a meaningful life for herself even without a husband. She's no stranger to the glittering world of London's upper crust. At a ball thrown by her oldest friend she expects scandal, gossip, and secrets. What she doesn't expect is a dead body in the garden."
This is to be the first in a new series.

Listening to Curiosity Killed the Cat Sitter by Blaize Clement, another first in a series. "With pooper-scooper in hand, smart and sassy Dixie Hemingway--top amateur sleuth and professional pet-sitter--fearlessly faces schnauzers, greyhounds, tabbies . . . and murder." Filled with laugh out loud lines and wisdom about animals. I'm really loving this one.

What good books are popping up on your reading list this week?

In other news, I got the DVDs of Wolf Hall, the BBC series. It is marvelous. The costumes, the music, the scenery, the acting. Very true to Mantel's book.
