pickI liked this book. It takes place in the 1950‘s in Washington DC. An eclectic group of women live in a boarding house. The story is told from each woman‘s point of view. As the story progresses the womens‘ background and secrets are exposed. A new resident helps to bring the women together by hosting weekly meals. She is a very good support for the other women but she is keeping a big secret that will eventually affect all of them.
The Botanical Garden is finished so now it‘s time for Santa
“Winter is for women” - Sylvia Plath. From the forward of this book.
Not sure specifically what she was referring to, but in my case it‘s especially true because I don‘t feel guilty about sitting inside and reading for hours.

pickA most excellent reread. Not as much about Nero as it is about Agrippina. On to Tyrant!
Almost done the Botanical Gardens 🎉 Frozen River is soooo good! Thank god for feisty women!
pickWORLD WAR II REDEMPTION
The author takes reader on a search for Nazis hiding and a search for justice!
Using a female Russian bomber pilot; a Nazi hunter team; and, a young girl in love, the author produces a tale of predator & prey for redemption from Nazi terror worldwide!
pickThis slow-burn Regency romance between two trans men is charming, tender, and full of dry wit. Christopher is a pastel-wearing poetry lover trying to avoid marriage—and Harding is the valet who upends everything. Their slow friendship blooms into something beautiful, and the ending delivers. Queer joy, found family, and softness in a world that wasn‘t made for them.
Cousin's daughter.. she loves hot pink!
