Saturday morning, a latte & a book. #coffeeandbooks
Plans for the day: read, walk, errands, writing cards for #naturalitsywintercardswap

Lower end of pick scale. I like the characters and the setting — Jazz Age New York — but I didn‘t find the mystery particularly interesting. Vivian and Honor are eventually going to have to make up their minds about each other. Outside walk today was lovely. #audiowalk

I think I read these books for the characters rather than the mystery. In this one, Bea‘s uncle dies; everyone but Vivian thinks it‘s a suicide. Florence comes more into her own here. I had to walk inside today because of the rain. #audiowalk

Book 19 of Elm Creek Quilts series. Setting is California wine country in early 1900s. Rosa is married to an abusive husband but is in love with Lars who is related to Henry and Elizabeth Jorgensen. Elizabeth is an older cousin of Sylvia who settled in California . Fascinating story amid the years of Prohibition.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for this baby!! Lehane does an amazing job creating believable characters. His descriptions evoke the images, but he doesn‘t ramble. I‘m on to the sequel, The Given Day, so I can stay in 1930s Florida and Cuba.

My photo skills leave a lot to be desired. Yeah, maybe don‘t cut off the title! 🤪
I‘d retake it but I already returned it to the library.

“I had learned that you could imagine anything you wanted, that the space inside your head belonged only to you. Furnished and decorated and inhabited only by you, so that your insides teemed and seethed while your outward aspect remained serene.”
