Requested through ILL which could take a couple weeks.

finished as my first read of the year with a lot of white on the cover.

Finished a "bonus book" for this month:

The Box by Mandy-Suzanne Wong - 3.5* - My Review

Read

I finished -- Edward VII's death was unusual in that it occurred in 1910, and royalty from all over Europe, most of whom were related to him, came to the funeral. Four years later they were at each other's throats in the First World War, and after that Kaiser Wilhelm was disgraced, and the Romanov family were murdered.

Finished Black House. Good book but too much info/background drop of the main character IMO and not enough police procedural.

Finished my 2nd pick - . 5 crazy good stars!!!!

I have finished Orlando, 4 stars. A classic for good reason.

Finished this book yesterday. It was interesting and I liked that it didn't just focus on one member of the Royal Family

I liked that book for the same reason, Vikki.

3 stars. This probably would have been better had I read the previous 2 books. It was clearly a book tying up the storylines from before.

1 star. Started out good but became redundant with added in political propaganda.

Finished , 3.5 fast read, liked the main character but some of the secondary characters were one dimensional. Better than so that was a bonus. These reworked of Greek mythology books have been hit and mostly miss lately.

Added . Had a group read doing a reread of the series. It’s been interesting going back. This is #3 so the world building and the character development is much improved. Sticking with my 3 star rating

Major changes at the end so that will allow for all kinds of stressful situation in book 4 . Will get to that next month.

Very interesting. Good reminder of the fortitude, courage, strength & sacrifice it took for our country's settlers to endure great hardships. 5 stars

The Voluble Topsy: A Young Lady's Chatter About Love, Politics and War, 1928-1947 by A.P. Herbert 4 stars
