Rosemary's comments from the Roane State Community College Libraries group.

The two books I requested for Christmas will not be available until February. I did, however, use my Borders gift card toward the purchase of Kate Kingsbury's Ringing in Murder. Since the plot centers around Christmas, I am going to try to save it until next Christmas. Try being the operative word!

Absolutely! A comfortable chair and a cozy blanket would complete the picture. In fact, I think I'll go home right now and read, drink tea, and enjoy the Christmas tree! LOL.

It is a bit saucy at times! Though she is wantng to be independent, reality sets in when she must do without a servant, live in a cold house until she learns to light a fire, and must find a job. The scene when she interacted with her mother at the department store was quite funny. I am looking forward to more in the series. Have you read either of Rhys Bowen's other series - Constable Evans or Molly Murphy? I haven't.

My read to relax book would be a cozy British mystery whether written by an American or a Brit. I reread Agatha Christie from time to time, but my current favorite authors are Carola Dunn, Emily Brightwell, and Kate Kingsbury. Recently, I have discovered Charles Finch's A Beautiful Blue Death and Rhys Bowen's Her Royal Spyness.
