2025 Book #1

Fun, heartfelt western romance in the classic style of Beverly Jenkins. As always, she creates a passionate romance set against a rich small town cast of characters with lots of interconnection between books. Enjoyed.

If the first of the month falls on a day where I am not working or am going in late, I treat myself to breakfast. I‘m letting myself read over coffee this morning!

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

I needed something lighter to alternate with Baldwin‘s Go Tell it on the Mountain and A Separate Peace by John Knowles—and this fit the bill. A lighthearted, delightful dessert of a book… I might have to treat myself to Volume 2 tonight as a unicorn chaser after finishing A Separate Peace.

monalyisha Obsessed with this series! I expect you‘ll love Hawkes as much as I do. 22h
BarbaraJean @monalyisha I'm pretty sure your reviews are what put these on my radar! 18h

Tombland | C. J. Sansom

Mehso-so

England, 1549 & King Edward VI has not yet reached his majority being only 11 years old, so Lord Hertford, Edward Seymour, is ruling in the name of the King as the Protector. Tensions between landowners & tenants are rising as the former enclose valuable land meaning that the latter have nowhere for their animals to graze.

OutsmartYourShelf As part of his work for the Lady Elizabeth, Shardlake has been asked to discreetly investigate the murder of the wife of John Boleyn, a distant relative of Elizabeth's mother. Shardlake & assistant, Nicholas Overton, travel to Norwich to interview John Boleyn, & run into Barak. All three become embroiled in the rebel camp which sets up just outside the town. 1d
OutsmartYourShelf The rebels believe the Protector is on their side, but Shardlake fears that the reality is very different.

Finally finished this mammoth (866 pages!) final read of the #Shardlake series. There's a lot of historical detail & the research into this is plain to see, but my, did it drag on! It is a pity we will never know how Shardlake's story was to end due to the untimely death of the author & one wonders how many pages the next book would have had

Finally read my #FoodAndLit #Nicaragua pick (Also a September #BookSpin).

Based on the history of Juana the Mad, this novel is full of obsession, betrayal, ambition, and inappropriate relationships. But it was a good (if infuriating) read to end the year on.

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 1d
Texreader I got way behind on my #foodandlit books. I love that it‘s a no pressure challenge!! 1d
