pickI love that most chapters begin with a pertinent epigraph from Jane Austin‘s Pride & Prejudice!
Rosalyn Thorne,a “most useful woman”of discretion & societal connections,is hired by Bethany Douglas,an old school friend,ostensively to find her stolen pearl necklace.Bethany‘s multi-generational family,who reside with her, harbor many secrets.Rosalind,with the help of Dec. Adam, has to wade through questions of fraud, blackmail, forgery,& murder.
I am so enjoying this audiobook, a first in a series of mystery novels inspired by Jane Austen. Each chapter begins with a quote from Pride and Prejudice which suggests just what unfolds. #serieslove2025 #jumpstart2025 #Read2025
pickThis book was a delight! The main character is a strong, resourceful, good-hearted woman with a witty sense of humor. Although the novel is lighthearted, there are several difficult situations and moral dilemmas which are dealt with realistically. The characters all seemed real. This is not just a “fluffy” romance. It has substance. 5⭐️

pickThe Lily Adler mysteries, narrated by Henrietta Meire.
I've listened to The Body in the Garden, Silence in the Library, and Death at the Manor, all while cleaning and wrapping gifts etc, I very much love this series, although the narrator is ... fine. Not great, but I don't hate the narration.
This series has excellent rep, with characters you don't typically find in historicals.
pickThe blurb on the back says “intricately plotted” and it truly is, I was suspicious of EVERYONE at one point of another! I do love a lady sleuth ❤️
I own more than 100 books I haven‘t read ( I should count them 😬) so of course I get some from the library to read because it‘s fall now and I need mildly creepy books now ( and of course I have some in my stacks but I‘ve been influenced with this one)
pickLord Peter wants guardianship of his younger half-siblings, but the judge hearing his case dislikes him. Lady Selina, a friend who is excellent at fixing things, organizing, and general problem solving, suggests that Peter (who is American and inherited his title) marry well into English society, to make himself more agreeable to the judge. I laughed a lot and recommend this friends-to-lovers romance!

I found a used bookstore in the next town over. They also have a few new books too. And they‘ll take donations or you can get store credit. So I‘m super excited that I checked it out because I need to go through my books and get rid of some.
Picked these 2 up!
