Review of This Rough Magic
I haven't read anything by Mary Stewart yet but I have seen her mentioned as a good pick for fans of Susanna Kearsley so I will have to check out her books!
ReplyDeleteI can totally see that. I have read one or two Kearsley and I agree, the style is similar.
DeleteHistory of a pleasure seeker is a great title, I'm intrigued.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good title, I agree. :)
DeleteLove those comfort reads. Have a great week of reading.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am really into my comfort reading lately, not sure what is going on but I need it. Lol.
DeleteHistory of a Pleasure Seeker sounds interesting. I hope you're enjoying it. A book club field trip?? Ooh, can't wait to hear about it!
ReplyDeleteHappy happy happy reading!
Thanks! Yes, our book club took a trip out. History of a Pleasure Seeker and I are not getting along right now too well, I think I am just not in the mood. Lol.
DeleteHappy reading! I think I may have a go-to comfort author too, in Melina Marchetta and Hannah Harrington.

I will have to check them out! :) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteA Book Club field trip sounds fun and interesting. Have a great reading week!
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't bookish, but it was fun! :) Thank you, you too!
DeleteHave a good week! Saying you're "still working on" History of a Pleasure Seeker sounds like it's a bit of a slog? Or are you enjoying it? I've heard of this book and it sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteI think it's just me - I am just not in the mood for it right now. What I have read is good so far. :)
DeleteI have Mary Stewart on my list for this week. Enjoy them all and have a good week.
ReplyDeleteI will be popping over soon to see which! I really enjoy her stories. :)
DeleteI've only bumped shoulders a little bit with Dorothy Parker's biography. I am most curious about her.
ReplyDeleteI love Dorothy Parker! I am pretty sure I was her in a past life. ;) Lol.
DeleteI second the question on History of a Pleasure Seeker...and the "still working" on part - is it a huge book, or just slow to read, hard to get through...(boring?). ;)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good reading week, heck a good week in general! :)
Mardel of Rabid Reader
Lol! Thanks!
DeleteIt is just me I think, I am just not in the particular mood for it right now. I am going to try to hunker down with it this week - what I have read though so far is good. :)
Oh yes - very hard to finish a book when you're not in the mood for it. That's one of the problems I've been having with books lately - hard to find the book mood I'm in. :)
DeleteGlad you enjoyed Farewell Dorothy Parker and I look forward to seeing your review. I will probably wait until it's out in paperback before I pick it up (unless my library gets it in). Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteIt was good! I won a copy of it from Librarything, and it is enjoyable, but I agree, you should wait until it is in paperback or at the library. :)
DeleteThis Rough Magic sounds like a nice read. I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteTake a look at what I'm reading this week!
I am reading it right now, in stormy gloomy Michigan, and the book is set in sunny Greece - I am just daydreaming I am there too! Lol.
DeleteLooking forward to your Dorothy Parker review, too. It's rare + beautiful to see an author with the same name i have.
ReplyDeleteAnd she is such a great author to share a first name with!
DeleteI've actually not read any of these. I'm in Michigan too, though XD Where are you at? Part of a Schuler's book club? XD
