The Woman in the Library offers two of my favorite things to read about- a book about books and the writing process. It’s an interesting read with a good idea but it just didn’t work for me in the end. But if you are interested in books about books or meta mystery writing well I’d … More The Woman in the Library
I tried reading Antonia Fraser’s biography of Mary Queen of Scots back when the movie came out (naturally) but 50+ some pages in and 12,000 Mary’s later I DNF’ed it. Luckily this was a bit more streamlined and a lot less scholarly. I mean she turns into a mouse in this one so no kidding … More The Start of the Mary series
A hidden apothecary in 18th century London specializing in helping women get rid of “troublesome” men? Sounds like a good Spring read to me!
The Devil and the Dark Water By: Stuart Turton When Old Tom is summoned he whispers to you in the night offers your hearts desire for a bargain. And if you don’t bargain? You die.

 Do you guys sanitize your books? Honestly until recently it’s not something that ever crossed my mind. And I say that as someone whose always been a germaphobe. When this started I noticed people talking about it for the first time which naturally made me look at my TBR pile with worry.
The Girl the Sea Gave Back By: Adrienne Young Boy you’d think surviving being cast out to sea as a child would be the most dramatic thing in a girl’s life wouldn’t you? Not poor Tova who is found and brought up by a distrustful clan of warriors who only want to use her for … More The Girl the Sea Gave Back
The Book Charmer By: Karen Hawkins I received an ARC of The Book Charmer from Netgalley in return for an honest opinion. And my honest opinion is if this book was an animal of some sort I’d be on the floor scratching its belly cooing, “Aren’t you just the cutest little thing ever!”
