This weekly reading list meme is hosted at Book Date. Join in to see what others are reading and maybe get some ideas of what to read next! Although the Book Date link-up happens weekly, I don't update that often. Usually I do this around the middle of the month, and try to share my monthly bookshelf summary on the last Monday of the month. Here's what I've been working on lately.
I finished reading . . .
A Wicked Conceit by Anna Lee Huber - A novel and play about Bonnie Brock have become very popular in Edinburgh, but the innuendos and gossip about his relationship to Kiera are troubling, at the least. Kiera and Gage are trying to discover who the author is when the publisher is murdered, and they find themselves suspects - and in danger! (Read my full review HERE)
Obedient Unto Death by Liisa Eyerly - Sabina is a young Christian woman in first century Ephesus, where the fledgling church is considered an outlawed religion. A young scribe is murdered at a church gathering and Sabina is determined to find the real killer before her Roman magistrate father has the bishop executed. (Read my full review HERE)
I'm currently reading . . .
The Friendly Persuasion by Jessamyn West - This is a collection of short stories following the Quaker family of Jess and Eliza Birdwell through the years. I really enjoyed it when I first read it with a Lit class a couple of years ago so decided to read it with this year's Lit class . . . except I'm no longer teaching and the class finished the book at least a month ago!
It Happened In Ohio by Carol Cartaino - I thought I should get acquainted with my new state's history and this lighthearted summary of important events is helping with that.
The Wendy by Erin Michelle Sky - An innovative retelling of Peter Pan for YA readers, with Wendy in the lead role as a young woman who wants more than anything to be a ship's captain.
