Summer Book List
I may lose my knitting mojo during the summer, but for some reason, I crank through the reading pile. Coincidence? I think not.
But this summer I've got a dilemma. I am in the process of finishing up a book which means . . . I tend to avoid reading historical romances for a bit. I just like to keep my head focused on my story and not have someone else's words invading the process. So I am diving into my stash and reading all over the place. Here is what is on my list or currently being devoured:
The Girl in the Steel Corset by Kady Cross
The Discovery Witches by Deborah Harkness
The Rosetta Key by William Dietrich
The Traitor's Tale by Margaret Frazer
Elizabeth I by Margaret George
Revelation by C.J. Sansom
A Second Helping by Beverly Jenkins
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling. (Hoping to finish a reread of this before Friday!)
As you can see, I am indulging my love of Tudor England with two of the books, a few mysteries, some paranormal, a dash of steampunk, and the wonderful humor and love that Beverly Jenkins puts into her stories. Love her writing! Come September, I will go into a full on, devour a pile of wonderful Regency romances that I have stacking up, but right now, I am flirting with the eclectic.
