Either each installment in the series is better than the last or (maybe more likely) I'm just so attached to the characters that my own enjoyment keeps increasing. Certainly though the quality of the books is at least consistent--light and amusing

Reading this for class. I'm having a hard time following the genealogy and finding what's important. Or maybe I'm just overwhelmed by the amount of information. For a short work, it's sure taking me a long time to get through!

fascinating. Stanwyck is one of my favorite actresses and how interesting to examine her work through various critical lenses

I love Nettles in Midsomer Murders (I'm now watching him in Bergerac).

This book is fun & light hearted

I feel like I should be finished by now--the writing is smooth, the chapters short--but I find myself lingering over each chapter, each story about this lovely boy and his loving mom
