Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m probably just grumpy, but so far is too stilted and boring for me (pg63) and when I find myself making excuses not to read when it‘s too hot to do anything, it‘s time to move on.

It‘s all in the details.

This was a bit slow at the beginning, but I'm glad I hung with it. I fairly flew through the second half. An excellent whodunnit, I did not figure out the culprit before it was revealed. Set before WWI, the setting and characters kept reminding me of Downton Abbey. You do not have to have read the first of the series to enjoy this. Looking forward to reading more of Arlen's books.

I'm going to start labeling these posts #Tuesdayswithbooksandcoffee. After the craziness of the past week, it was nice to relax and read. Usually I take along my current nonfiction, but I'm trying to finish this and get it back to the library. And hubby is in trouble for tempting me with shortbread 😊

#currentread I made a trip to the library this morning for hubby, who had an injection in his hip yesterday and is taking it easy today. I wasn't going to get anything for myself, since between basketball and going to Orlando for DIL's baby shower on Saturday, my reading time is limited this weekend. But this ended up on my pile. It's off to an interesting start.
