Making my way through Victoria Dahl's contemporary backlist. Backwards in some cases. But she's got me hooked on Jackson Hole, Wyoming so I'll stick around there for a while. Last night I finished Close Enough to Touch and the novella Strong Enough to Love. Now I'm not sure whether to jump ahead to Book three So Tough to Tame or leap over that one to the latest Girl's Night Out, Flirting with Disaster. Decisions, decisions.

I just read Trade Me, and I'm not usually a fan of contemporary novels but I loved it! I'm sorta at a loss on what to read. I think I'm going to read The Blood of Olympus.

Just read Grace Burroughs first contemporary. It's a better fit for her since she doesn't have to try to conform to 19 c mores and the quality of her relationships is still lovely.
But her plotting is still weak. Too much going on so no one thing carries much emotional impact.

What was the British mystery, Susan? (It's okay to talk about other genres here, BTW. I, myself, am frequently reading mysteries.)
I think I'm petering out on my Victoria Dahl glom. I finished the first Jackson trilogy and the first two of the second one. Now I'm reading the novella about Jenny the bartender and Nate the Sheriff's Deputy that was in the anthology with Jenny Crusie's repackaged Sizzle, Be Mine: Sizzle\Too Fast to Fall\Alone With You. (the novel she declared she would never ever ever ever re-publish because she thought it was so terrible).
I got the anthology strictly for the Dahl story but I cannot deny I'm curious about Sizzle. But part of me doesn't want to read it because of Crusie's antipathy for it. I'm torn.
I also have the new JAK on deck so, I've got choices.

Manda, it was Gold Digger by Frances Fyfield. I had never heard of this author, but it was a 99-cent ebook special. The book is surprising: the plot, dialog, and characters are simply charming.

I then read The Mistletoe Bride and other stories by Kate Mosse (library book) which I really enjoyed.
I am now reading Elizabeth is missing by Emma Healey (library book) which I am enjoying so far.
Cool, Susan! I don't think I've read her before. But I have seen her books on sale. I'll check her out if I see her on sale again.
