It’s the first Wednesday of the month, so it’s time for WWW Wednesday, an idea I borrowed from David Chazan, The Chocolate Lady, who borrowed it from someone else. For this feature, I report
- What I am reading now
- What I just finished reading
- What I intend to read next
This is something you can participate in, too, if you want, by leaving comments about what you’ve been reading or plan to read.
What I am reading now
I am reading The Town House by Norah Lofts. It’s the first book in Lofts’ Suffolk Trilogy. It begins in the 14th century with a serf escaping serfdom, much like Cathedral of the Sea. I looked for a book by Lofts after finishing her book Lady Living Alone, which I really enjoyed.
What I just finished reading
I just finished reading Beggar’s Choice by Patricia Wentworth. Although I had difficulty getting started because it was so obvious that someone was trying to frame the oblivious main character, it turned out to be a pretty good read.
What I will read next
I guess I’m on a roll with classic novels, because the book I will probably read next is Death in Ambush by Susan Gilruth. I think I bought this book to read for the Christmas season and apparently forgot to do that!
What? Me Read? 
The cover for Death in Ambush is exceptionally beautiful, even for a BLCC reissue. Whoever is in charge of their cover design is a genius and needs a raise.
Yes, I think it’s very pretty.
I have two of Norah Lofts’ historical novels on the TBR, but not that one. Beggar’s Choice sounds good, despite the difficult start!
I had only read her This Was a Man (or something like that) about Sir Walter Raleigh and didn’t find it that interesting before I read her contemporary thriller. I’ve finished it now. Both were good!
