I enjoyed Raphael's series initially, but it did sort of meander off track. I'm not exactly sure why. I stuck with it for four books, but the first two were the best.

"Vermeer of Delft, master of intimacy, innermost stillness of unspoken exchanges, reveals to us, be it in his portraits or his interiors, a silence that is palpable."

Thank you, Goge!

Once a book is listed on Amazon, it's set in stone--at least where Amazon is concerned. GULP.

No challenge with Mainly by Moonlight but there have been a lot of distractions with The Monuments Men Murders so far.

The Wallpaper Replies??? I've never heard of that one. The Yellow Wallpaper yes. That IS creepy.

I'm curious about that one!

That's the best kind of break. Time spent with friends and lots of happy coincidences.

hahahahaha.

A super useful webinar on how to use Goodreads as an author! I mean, you would think as long as I've been on here I'd know the basics, but no. I never leave this group.

Among other things, I learned why some of my upcoming books still reflect old release dates.

I love learning new and useful things. <3

I second the motion. ;-D

I've come to understand that a significant number of readers just love the "feel" of historical without getting bogged down in the details. ;-)

Yes. Because of the dryness, we get a lot of floorboard pops and creaks. If I'm alone, I always have to get up and check.

hahahahaha. Now that is the truth.

Mymymble wrote: "My daughter and I tried a few episodes after Joe left and they felt directionless. I'm glad they perked up. The books are brilliant IMHO, Jordan."

I agree! But they've sort of pulled it back together.

A similar thing happened with Midsommer Murders. After Barnaby left it really felt rudderless. But then it picked back up.

Thank God for small favors.

As of right now -- 5:33 West Coast time Nicole Kimberling is up. :-)

Oh! This trend of not allowing people to talk to other people is so frustrating. Not everything fits in a predetermined questionnaire.
