Saying that I didn’t get much this week is like saying water is wet. And it’s really weirding me out. To be honest, originally there was only one book on this list. Well, there was only one book after I moved the four books that don’t have covers yet to next week’s stack. Again. I know I shouldn’t just add stuff because the pile looks empty, but I did it anyway. Also again.
The book I’m most looking forward to is the one I started with, A Fashionably French Murder by Colleen Cambridge. It’s the third book in her An American in Paris series, meaning it’s the third book in the historical mystery series that features Julia Child as the protagonist’s sidekick. The first two, Mastering the Art of French Murder and A Murder Most French, were both awesome and I can’t wait for this next one.
The book I’m most curious about – and I’m terribly curious – is The Girl from Greenwich Street by Lauren Willig. It’s based on the true story of America’s first famous murder trial, with Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr attempting to work together to defend the accused murderer. The book is based on the actual trial transcript – and it sounds fascinating.
Both the Memory Bank series and The Naturalist Society are books that I’ve looked out multiple times over the past couple of weeks but just didn’t pick up. With this week’s utter dearth of titles, I decided to pick them up after all.

That’s the one that has me curious as well. Of course, I keep seeing the actors from Hamilton in my head and it’s working, so there’s that! Have a great week!

That series is wonderful. You can practically hear Julia Child’s voice every time she’s on the page. This is a series I can’t recommend highly enough for anyone who loves historical mystery. Have a good week!

I keep thinking it’s a prequel for their rivalry in Hamilton and it’s working for me. Have a good week!

I have to read Mastering the Art of French Murder yet! I met Colleen Cambridge at an author event earlier this year and picked up a copy but I’ve been reading her Phyllida Bright series first.

Having read this series I’ve been really curious about the Phyllida Bright series. I hope they are as good?
