I finally finished THE ABBOT'S GIBBET by Michael Jecks. It was a book that I kept putting down for other things but I just had to finish it. There's too many books in the series to be slow poking.
I'll be starting PROPHECY by S J Parris next. It is 2nd of 2 in series featuring Giordano Bruno, a monk, philosopher, and astronomer on the run from the Roman Inquisition, serving as an agent for Queen Elizabeth I. Here is a description:
It is the year of the Great Conjunction, when the two most powerful planets, Jupiter and Saturn, align—an astrological phenomenon that occurs once every thousand years and heralds the death of one age and the dawn of another. The streets of London are abuzz with predictions of horrific events to come, possibly even the death of Queen Elizabeth. When several of the queen’s maids of honor are found dead, rumors of black magic abound. Elizabeth calls upon her personal astrologer, John Dee, and Giordano Bruno to solve the crimes. While Dee turns to a mysterious medium claiming knowledge of the murders, Bruno fears that something far more sinister is at work. But even as the climate of fear at the palace intensifies, the queen refuses to believe that the killer could be someone within her own court. Bruno must play a dangerous game: can he allow the plot to progress far enough to give the queen the proof she needs without putting her, England, or his own life in danger?
It was just published and has 384 pages.
Steve has a board meeting tonight so dinner will be quick, sandwiches from the Pickle Barrel. Work was the usual, however, my friend there has turned in her notice and accepted another job so I'll be without my bud Tami soon. Very happy for her as our jobs are temporary status and could be ending who knows when. I'll be seeing her again or her evening of celebrating her upcoming wedding and then at the wedding itself at the end of the month.
It's been very lovely out today but a storm is moving it. It has cooled off and the wind has picked up. Maybe a nice evening for reading or ... wait, I have Deadliest Catch to watch tonight. I was going to say catch up on The Borgias but probably not tonight now. I keep meaning to be more productive in the evenings but by the time it gets here I lose my ambition. :)
Have a good one....
Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
