What's On My Nightstand (June 2026)

The Hubs and I spent almost the entire month of June in Florida, visiting family, seeing friends, dropping kids off for summer trips, even taking a couple of days to do Disney. Thanks to a family friend and an affordable house, we found ourselves based out of Orlando for most of the time, with a few day trips to both coasts. Since it's been almost a decade since it was just the two of us, we looke

Elizabeth Johnson shared a highlight from
Come, Tell Me How You Live by Agatha Christie Mallowan
Disagreeing with the Turkish douanier’s opinion that I have too many shoes, I proceed to buy more shoes! Shoes in Beyrout are a delight to buy. If your size is not available, they are made for you in a couple of days – of good leather, perfectly fitting. It must be admitted that buying shoes is a weakness of mine. I shall not dare to return home through Turkey!

Come, Tell Me How You Live by Agatha Christie Mallowan
An uneasy conviction sweeps over me that our young architect is going to prove one of those people who from time to time succeed in rendering me completely imbecile with shyness. I have, thank goodness, long left behind me the days when I was shy of everyone. I have attained, with middle age, a fair amount of poise and savoir faire. Every now and then I congratulate myself that all that silly business is over and done with! ‘I’ve got over it,’ I say to myself happily. And as surely as I think so, some unexpected individual reduces me once more to nervous idiocy.

Get your highlighter ready!

I waffled between giving this four or five stars, and that's really saying something from me, as very few books are, in my opinion, worthy of five. But this one was close. I gave it four because I found a couple of typos an

The series continues to enchant

Twists and turns galore, Brower does a fantastic job opening doors that one didn't see, providing background in small, but delicious, bites, and making sure the reader will keep coming back for more.
