Pamela | 1 comments Victoria Thompson, Anna Lee Huber, Deanna Raybourn, and Kelly Armstrong are writers I see we both have in common. I just finished Anna Lee Huber’s last book. I read books from all over history. I love Victorian mysteries. The Regency, and Victorian era are my favorite. Do I just list the books that fall under that period, I have read this year. ? I’m new. Glad to be accepted. Pamela.
