Happy Spring! We have made it to the spring equinox last week. Weather is changeable, but that is how things are this time of year.
The grass is slowly showing a tiny bit of green, finally, after being brown for ages. With minimal snow this winter I've had to look at a brown lawn for months.
Got myself a small, blue tooth portable speaker. I have satellite radio in the car, now I can use their app to play music inside. Plus I can take the speaker anywhere in the house or patio. Get more value for the money I pay for this. Plus I have my choice of what genre of music to play with hundreds of channels to choose from
Squirrels are driving me crazy attacking the bird feeders. I counted six of them in the yard all wanting to get at the seed. One of them has succeeded in jumping over the baffles to actually get at the seed. Game on squirrel!
Love at First Book Jen McKinlay is one of my favorite authors, she has multiple cozy mystery series. This is a romance and takes a character from a previous romance and sets it in Ireland. Not a big romance fan and this one didn't over do it and one of the main characters dies at the end and lots of tears through it.
Sisters of Fortune historical fiction story based upon a real family, the Fortune's of Winnipeg, Canada. The family is returning from a tour of Europe and is sailing on the Titanic. While the family is real, many of the remaining characters are fictitious or a composite of real people. Most of the book shows the relationships prior to the sinking but does provide closure of the true characters.
The Earl and the Pharaoh a extensive biography of the 5th Earl of Carnarvon, who was one of the people who first discovered King Tut's riches buried in Egypt. Very detailed, almost to the point of information overload. Author is the wife of the current earl, the 8th Earl of Carnarvon. Author had access to family notes, journals and letters to base her research.
Happy Reading.

ReplyDeleteJust watched a video about King Tutankhamen; his life, his family, how he died.
ReplyDeleteLord Carnarvon died soon after that tomb was discovered, and his death was part of the 'curse' that the newspapers at the time reported.
100 years ago, a septic wound could kill, and that's what happened to him.
Carnarvon's residence, Highclere Castle, was used for the Downton Abbey TV show and movies.
