books

I came to the computer with a list of things to look up/people to write
to/things to talk about, and rctn was on my list with a book
recommendation with the hockey fans in mind. I read a review of this
hockey mystery that recommended it, and immediately thought of y'all:

The Code, by G.B. Joyce

And I just finished the new Jennifer Chiaverini titled Mrs. Lincoln's
Dressmaker. It's the story of Elizabeth Keckley. I liked it. The
beginning part was a little slow - it's Chiaverini's first truly
historic fiction and didn't flow quite as smoothly as her
fiction-fiction, but she did eventually find her "legs" and it improved
as it went along.

Yesterday I started "Snow White Must Die", the latest European
blockbuster mystery (German author Nele Neuhaus) to finally be
translated into English and shipped across the ocean. Off to a great
start! Planning to do a lot of stitching/sewing today, so I don't know
that I'll be able to hunker down with it again until tonight - tempting
as it is!
