Currently reading:

The Masque of the Black Tulip by Lauren Willig

The dangerous French spy the Black Tulip is hunting down the Pink Carnation and it is up to Henrietta Selwick and Miles Dorrington to stop the spy before he or she can succeed. This is the second book in the Pink Carnation series.

Planning to read this week:

The Deception of the Emerald Ring by Lauren Willig

Englisy spy Geoffrey Pinchingdale-Snipe travels to Ireland hoping to quell the rebellion there but on the way he finds himself stuck with an unexpected wife.

My Lady of Cleves by Margaret Campbell Barnes

A novel about the life of Anne of Cleves, fourth queen of Henry VIII.

Boys, Bears, and a Serious Pair of Hiking Boots by Abby McDonald

Description from book: "Jenna may hail from the ’burbs of New Jersey, but Green Teen activism is her life. So when her mom suggests they spend the summer at Grandma’s Florida condo, Jenna pleads instead to visit her hippie godmother, Susie, up in rural Canada. Jenna is psyched at the chance to commune with this nature she’s heard about — and the cute, plaidwearing boys she’s certain must roam there. But after a few run-ins with local wildlife (from a larger-than-life moose to Susie’s sullen Goth stepdaughter to a hot but hostile boy named Reeve), Jenna gets the idea that her long-held ideals, like vegetarianism and conservation, don’t play so well with this population of real outdoorsmen. A dusty survival guide offers Jenna amusing tips on navigating the wilderness — but can she learn to navigate the turns of her heart?"

What does your reading week look like? Please leave a comment, I'd love to hear what you are reading!

  3. I'm pretty jealous by some of your books. I really like some of your historical fictions and will be keeping my eye out for your reviews...esp. Anne of Cleves. Thank GOD The Tudors on Showtime starts back up soon....gotta get my Tudors fix. :) I thought Boys, Bears was a really cute read. Enjoy!

  7. You did have a great reading week!

    I'm jealous you have the next two of the Pink Carnation series as I'm having trouble tracking them down - my library's let me down on these ones.

    Happy reading!
