Friday. At last.

Just Like All the Other Days?

I finished the Alex Grecian book. This was the 2nd book after THE YARD. It was all right except at the end there was a loose thread, an important one at that, that didn't get resolved for us. Strange. 

I will be starting SUMMERSET ABBEY: A BLOOM IN WINTER by TJ Brown. This is 2nd of 3 in series. Here is a description:
As the icy chill of winter, 1914, settles on the magnificent country estate of Summerset Abbey, three young women seek comfort and warmth in the smiles of friends, the fire in their hearts, and the promise of spring…

Victoria Buxton

With her delicate constitution but strong, unflappable spirit, Victoria has never followed societal conventions, the rules of fashion, or the pursuit of a husband. Instead, she finds herself drawn into the controversial—and dangerous—fight for women’s suffrage. But her dream is compromised, and her heart divided, when her struggle for equal rights collides with unexpected love.

Rowena Buxton

After yearning to no avail for a certain young pilot to fly back into her life, Rowena fears her chances for happiness have been jeopardized by recklessness and scandal. Burdened with guilt for bringing her sister Prudence to Summerset Abbey as a lady’s maid while she herself led a life of privilege, Rowena hopes to one day make amends. But her desire to set things right is complicated by her passion for flight and a sudden engagement…to the wrong man.

Prudence Tate

Raised like a sister to Victoria and Rowena, then banished to the servants’ quarters when their father passed away, Prudence has seen both sides of life, upstairs and down. But once the truth about her parentage was revealed, Prudence forged a new life for herself, married to a penniless veterinary student. Living in poverty in a shabby London flat, she wonders if she’s made a terrible mistake—and there’s no turning back…
Published March 2013 and has 304 pages. I'll be picking it up from the library after work. 

Still cold, rainy and windy but supposed to clear up tomorrow. It would.

I've watched a couple episodes of a new TV show called Motive. I'm liking it. The female/male cop partners are great actually. At the beginning of each episode we know who the victim is and who the killer is. What is revealed as the story goes along is the why, the motive. I think it's found its slot on Thursdays but episodes are available online.

Off you go...

Much love,
