After reading Night of a Thousand Stars and loving it, I realized I needed to read City of Jasmine. The main characters in City of Jasmine are talked about in Night of a Thousand Stars and I want to know the details of their story. When I went to a Deanna Raybourn book signing in March, I decided to buy it and now I'm finally going to read it. Deanna's books are always a great escape.

Finished this last month, but only now getting around to writing this. This is Deanna Raybourn doing Amelia Peabody with a dash of aviation and sex appeal. I liked it a lot

Trying to figure out some creative way to store my overflow books that don‘t fit on my shelves. This is also my excuse to put off spring cleaning for a few more days... oops. 😅🌷🌸🌻

This was fun and entertaining. Lots of adventure, a little mystery, and a little romance. The tone reminded me of the movie Romancing the Stone, which I love (don't judge me 😁). I read it on my Kindle but hate the cover of the Kindle edition and I also happened to have the paperback checked out from the library, so that's what I used for the picture.

MrBook Nice review! 7y
robinb I love her Speedwell series and was debating reading some of her earlier books. Is this a standalone? Thanks for the rec! 7y
Amie @robinb I started with Veronica Speedwell too, which led me to her other books. This one is standalone (there's a prequel novella that I didn't read). She has two other standalones set in the 20s that I will definitely have to read now too. Something to help tide me over until the third Speedwell comes out 😃 7y

robinb @amie thanks for the info! I'll have to look those up as well! I was lucky enough to get an ARC of her upcoming Speedwell, and it doesn't disappoint! I also enjoyed her Julia Grey series. Have you read those as well? 7y
Amie @robinb I've read the first three Julia Grey. I liked them but not as much as Veronica. 7y
robinb @amie I agree. I prefer the Speedwell too. Thank you! 7y

I've spent a lazy afternoon with a book and the cat. I don't think she was pleased that I woke her up while trying to take a picture 😸

Such a feisty, fun romp of a read. A combination of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Romancing the Stone, and snappy old 40's movies like His Girl Friday.

#marchintoreading I like most of Deanna Raybourn's books, but I felt as if she kind of lost her way between the Lady Julia novels and her new series. This fits the #didntlikeitstillfinished category.
