Wonderful Wordy Wednesday

Last few bunches of 2021 books. My typical group of mystery fiction. American Baby is an interesting look at the adoption practices, homes for unwed mothers etc. When Women Invented Television was on four women who were instrumental in the early years of the medium, including Betty White. Book is worth it just for the Betty White stuff.


I never got into The Rose Code. Not sure why, too wordy or something. I don't like books that take 500 pages to convey a story that could be done in less. Plus I didn't like the understory premise of the supposed wild bachelor days of Prince Philip. The basic story involved women who worked at Bletchley Park.

The weather has finally decided to be spring. The trees have leaves, my crab apple is blooming as well. Lilacs are blooming. I have had to start mowing the lawn.
