I have no desire to ever read the #Bridgerton novels, but I love the series. This is the filming location of the dress shop, they use the interior as well. Right now, it‘s actually deli right in the center of #Bath, next to the big #Abbey. Bath ended up being a wonderful highlight of my trip to #London!
#StorySettings #Mountain playing catch up. This is Abbey‘s 3rd novel ,originally published in 1962 . Still on my #TBRMountain
I have some really #goodnews to share: I was discharged from my oncologist's care yesterday morning, a day short of my one year anniversary of completing chemotherapy, which was today (March 3). What this means is that my family doctor is now responsible for post cancer care and that she will be the ordering my mammograms and ordering my Tamoxifen prescription.
pickThis was quite dramatic, starting with a serious car crash. I really enjoyed it, though it felt very different to a typical school story.

I got my date for my radiation treatments. I start Wednesday at noon and finish at the very latest on August 5. I‘m so glad that the end is in sight for my treatments.
My current reads.
Did anyone read The Abbey Girls books? This is the first/prequel to that series.
I got really good news last week. My surgeon mentioned that the tumour in my left breast had shrunk to the size of a thumbnail and the margins were super clear and hadn‘t spread elsewhere and remained contained. The lymph node that had been tested in September was free of cancer and the other ones that were removed were also free of cancer. For all intensive purposes, according to my surgeon, I am cancer free. ⬇️
pick(1980) Second (and for twenty-six years, last) in Abbey's fantasy series featuring warrior/priestess/healer Rifkind. In this one, Rifkind defends a magic well against attack by an evil sorceress in league with a chaotic god. I first read this thirty-something years ago, and am happy to report that I found it still fun. Now I'm finally ready to read book 3!
so-soSeems long and fact-filled. The author used many interviews to write this. I just wanted to know the true Ed Abbey, not the legend, like a reference librarian. This does provide that. He mostly played a role and was not quite like most people thought he was, but he was a good writer and I have liked the two books of his I've read. I recommend this if you want a decent account of his life, his five marriages, friends, etc.
