What I’m reading: Vol. 53.

Nightstand: Bone Gap by Laura Ruby. I’m about 10 pages into this. It’s well-written, but it’s too early to have any other thoughts.

Coffee table: Temptations of a Wallflower by Eva Leigh. This is the third romance I’ve read by this author, and I’m officially a fan. This series follows a group of women in Victorian London who are determined to have careers as writers, despite societal pressure. Oh, and the romance is hot hot hot.

In a blanket nest: Because of Miss Bridgerton by Julia Quinn. NEW BRIDGERTON BOOKS. I can’t. It’s too exciting.

Internets:
