In which our heroine attempts to tame the to-read pile
It’s Easter this weekend so I’m taking the opportunity to remind you of Beverly Jenkins’ Blessings series which are very good small town romances with a great cast of characters and which have a strong inspirational/religious element to them. It’s nearly four years since I wrote this Series I Love post about them and I stand by it all. There is an eleventh in the series but it’s not available here in the UK, but I do have it preordered for whenever it does appear. Happy Easter everyone!
I feel like March is the month of new books from authors I really like. And as I mentioned yesterday, this week saw a new standalone book from Jacqueline Winspear. So I’m taking the opportunity to point you at my series I love post about her Maisie Dobbs series – there are plenty of them and I’m actually up to date with the series now which is a miracle given that it’s me we’re talking about. But if you haven’t read them all yet, here’s a reminder of why they’re so good. Bonus: here’s my BotW post for the first in the series.
So, just a quick post today to flag that James Graham’s play Best of Enemies, starring Zachary Quinto and David Harewood, which I saw at the theatre late last year is getting a cinema release in May. You can see what I wrote about it at the time here

The latest book in Deanna Raybourn’s Veronica Speedwell series is out this week, so I thought this was a good time to reup my post about the series from last year. The new book is the ninth in the series is A Sinister Revenge and sees Veronica and Stoker investigating a threat to Stoker’s brother’s life. Anyway if you’ve never read the series, I’ve got all the background in my post here.
Have a great weekend everyone.
