Finally! I've got some books read!!
1. Mary Queen of Scotland and the Isles by Margaret George
I started this back in 2018, prior to mom's passing. I put it down and it languished for several months. Not to say I wasn't reading - I can't NOT read. But I was re-reading some comforting fanfic and I thank all you dedicated writers for posting same! Bless. The book I'd read prior to this was the Antonia Fraser epic bio. This was a fictional take on the same material. Obviously, it had to take liberties, but all in all it was a fun read. If long...well over 800 pages!
2. Lennon: The Man, The Myth, The Music - The Definitive Life by Tim Riley
I got a new tablet for Christmas and I wanted to make sure my digital library borrowing still worked. This was the first book that came up on my wish list that was available. Another long (almost 800 pages!) one. Interesting in that it definitely did not deify Lennon. Showed all his foibles. Didn't detract from the narrative. Lots (and I mean LOTS) of Beatles history in there as well.
3.Christmas Cake Murder by Joanne Fluke
This popped up as me not having read it. I've been reading her books for years and keep plugging along with them. They are formulaic and predictable. Makes me appreciate the fan fiction writers all the more. This was a "prequel" of sorts; an origin story for the main character and how she got started. I think I finished it in less than a day. Easy peasy.
4.Gingerbread Cookie Murder by Joanne Fluke, Laura Levine, Leslie Meier
When I was looking through the lists of books at the digital library, this came up. Seems it's a trio of gingerbread stories. The first was typical and set way back in the character's history. Again, easy. The other two? Well, let's just say I read the whole thing, again, in less than a day. What is it with writers today??? I think all you fic people have spoiled me! *narrows eyes at most of flist*
Back in the day I'd made a list of books that sounded interesting that others on the flist had read. I'm reading one now....Edward VII: The Prince of Wales and the Women He Loved by Catharine Arnold
Hope you all are reading!
