Today's Blog/Website of the Day is Medieval Woman found at http://susandhigginbotham.blogspot.com/. "Blogging with Historical Fiction Writer Susan Higginbotham - Historical Fiction, History, and Whatever Else Crosses My Mind."
I finished THE REISLING RETRIBUTION by Ellen Crosby last night -- when one is cooped up with nothing much to do other than read, one goes through books quickly. I enjoyed visiting Crosby's world again, however, it was light on crime solving this time around.
I'm currently reading CHAMBERS OF DEATH by Priscilla Royal. This is 6th of 6 in series featuring Eleanor, Prioress of Tyndal in 11th century East Anglia, England. Here is a description:
When one of her company falls ill on a return journey to Tyndal, Prioress Eleanor accepts lodging at a nearby manor. Master Stevyns' wife is having an affair with the groom while a local widow acts more the lady of the manor than the lady herself. His eldest son and spouse are obsessed with sin and heaven while his youngest son, bound for the Church, unexpectedly returns with more interest in lute playing than the priesthood. It is no surprise when someone's throat is cut, but the sheriff does all he can to avoid offending the family rather than seeking the real killer. When he arrests a servant, she herself is stabbed before she can either prove innocence or be taken off for hanging.
This book was just published and has 250 pages.
Tonight on tv I have the finale (at last!) of Next Food Network Star and then HGTV's Design Star to watch.
It has been a relaxing day of reading and 'net surfing and not much else. We've had a series of storms move through this afternoon; Steve is walking Tug right now in between them. It's good to have some rain finally. Everything previously for the past few weeks has gone north or south of us.
Tomorrow, another doctor appointment and waiting for Dr. McGuire's phone call with results from Friday.
Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
