Five books in five days. Slow but not bad, not bad at all, considering I had a presentation to prepare and worry about too!
I reread “Desiree” by Annemarie Selinko. I used to read it at least once a year before but it had been six or seven years that I hadn’t. Missed the book and the sweet enchanting voice of Desiree dreadfuly.
Then, a little romance about a plotting old lady and her schemes “Breaking all the rules” by Sue Civil-Brown. Not too much to write about!
“Only the Cat Knows” by Marian Babson was a little confusing and boring and artificial and … well, not a great book!
Then another of Discworld books by Terry Pratchett. “Guards! Guards!” is when a dragon comes to Ankh-Morpork and Captain Wimes meets Lady Sybil and Carrot comes to town and Vetinari is imprisoned in his own dungeon. Very very funny.
And Last but not least “Courtesan’s Daughter” by Claudia Dain. I usually don’t like period romances but this one set in 1802 England is very delicious. A former courtesan Lady Sophia and her cheeky daughter Caro are enchanting and endearing. All those plotting and cutting remarks were refreshing. Wish the book was a series, it simply was too short!
Well, now I should start studying for a midterm like a good little girl!
