so-soInitially I enjoyed this audiobook. But after a time I became impatient with the convoluted plot as the story dragged on for me. I almost bailed but I was close the the end so I soldiered on.

#bookreport Finished TDCJ, read section in TNOW, on ch.21 APPM. Picked up WR? This morning. Very Little reading these past 5 days because I have been sick. Binged watched the Shetland series based on Ann Cleeves books. Foes that count?! My brain could not process the written word until today.

Read/Finished the top row this week.The others are in process.
pickA great second book in the series. Miss Rosalind Thorne must assist a friend whose husband has been accused of murder & must navigate the treacherous world of high society.
Good morning from the couch. Have been up most of the night because Girl #1 has been off and on ill all night. 6 am we took an epsom salts soak and now we‘re watching Trollhunters. Now the Christmas Eve Rabbit of Healing has been released from her onerous overnight captivity and she‘s here to heal us all.
This is what we do at nighttime now because we are heckin‘ dorks. Everyone else goes to bed and it‘s Mom & Bunny Cuddle Power Hour. #dogsoflitsy
A few pages before bedtime to dip my toe in the waters of a new world. I finished Monique and the Mango Rains this afternoon, so I need some light fiction. And there‘s nothing quite so light and delicious as a dynamic duo made up of a slightly tarnished lady of quality and a Bow Street Runner.
pickAlmost a Regency cosy, this is another entertaining book following a lady in reduced circumstances who finds herself embroiled in another murder. The murder plot is a bit involved but I enjoy the characters and the story was fun to read. There is an incipient love triangle but it's very much secondary to the plot, so it's much less annoying than I would usually find it.
#rockinmay #Londoncalling The most recent book I've read set in London. I'm finally going for the first time this August, and I'm really excited.
pick3 ⭐️ I love Rosalind Thorne, the main character, but the motive for the murder and the machinations of some of the characters were just too contrived. It didn't help that the book I read before this was also a murder mystery set in Regency London. This one didn't compare favorably. Still, the main characters are superb, and I'll continue to read this series.
Why is it that, as soon as you start one good book, three or four more pop up? I already have two excellent novels plus a fantastic nonfiction underway, but this popped up on my Kindle this morning on release day. Can I hold off? Of course not!
pickToday's #fridayreads pic for work... The second Rosalind Thorne mystery is as much a treat as book one. Rosalind works as a fixer for society women, and somehow she keeps finding herself in the middle of murder investigations. She's resourceful, witty, and adventurous. These remind me a little of Anne Perry's Pitt mysteries, but lighter. Really, it's exactly the book you think you're getting from the fantastic, fun cover. Loved it!
When you drop your car off for its 40,000 mile check up, thinking it won't take too long, and they say 3 hours. In these cases I'm glad I rarely go anywhere without a book and my iPod.
