Friday Finds... and a birthday

I've been trying to limit my TBR pile, so my list this week is going to be short.

The Rose of Sebastopol, by Katharine McMahon. Set during the Crimean War.

The Dracula Dossier, by James Reese. ARC. Historical mystery about Bram Stoker, Jack the Ripper, and other late-19th century people.

The Blackstone Key, by Rose Melikan. Historical fiction/ mystery, set in late-18th century England. Not an ARC, but I've been sent a copy for review.

Bones of the Dead, by Ellie Newmark. Mystery set in 15th century Venice.

Completely tangental to Friday Finds is... today's my birthday!

Happy birthday!

The Dracula Dossier was pretty good. I read it recently, but my review's not posting until closer to its release.

Happy Birthday!

I have The Blackstone Key to read as well, and have already read the Katherine McMahon book. I thought it was okay.

A giveaway winner, and another giveaway

The winner of the Girl in a Blue Dress contest is... Anna, of Diary of An Eccentric ! My new contest is for a copy of The Shape of Mercy , by Susan Meissner. According to Publisher's Weekly : Meissner's newest novel is potentially life-changing, the kind of inspirational fiction that prompts readers to call up old friends, lost loves or fallen-away family members to tell them that all is forgiven and that life is too short for holding grudges.

On “the outside” is Tudy Liang, Will’s beautiful Eurasian lover. There’s no doubt that Lee’s writing is beautiful. But there’s something lacking in this short, terse novel that I can’t quite put my finger on. First, I think it’s the tenses she uses when taking about each story: that which is set in the 1950s is in the past tense, while the war scenes are talked about in the present tense (confusing, no?) The interpersonal relationships of the m...
