Pickpick

Set in Victorian era London,a city of endless thick,smokey,fog,this novel reads as if you are immersed in this foggy world.Lizzie Martin,destitute after her doctor father‘s death,becomes a companion to a wealthy widow & slum lord.The discovery of the previous companion‘s dead body in the slum‘s rubble spurs Lizzie to investigate.Complicated intrigue follows.A budding romance between Lizzie & Inspector Ross lends a light note.#serieslove #1

London fog permeates this novel- it‘s a character in itself. #historicalmystery #Victorianera

Mehso-so

This period mystery was just okay - I‘m glad it was a library book and one I didn‘t purchase.

The sacrifices we make for pets: hubby & kids are in B&N while I wait in the air conditioned truck with the dog using their free WiFi. Hubby is using it too to do work. I‘m sure at least my daughter will buy a Dork Diary installment so that we aren‘t total free loaders.

Current campsite has a natural slide. 😜 Can barely make out my son at the top.

Tamra Imagine what their shorts & underwear look like. 5y
Meglet What a fantastic slide. 💜 5y

What difference 30 miles makes! 😄 I‘m not getting much reading done, but that‘s ok. This is my first paperless vacation.

My course is over and I am free to read whatever I want and I‘m in one of my favorite states! (MT) But, this is my LEAST favorite type of “camping.” Fortunately it‘s only a stopover into the mountains. 😄

The tagged period mystery is good though I‘m feelin a little lull in the momentum.

emilyhaldi My husband and I are dying to go to Montana!!!! Camping there would be amazing 😍🏕 5y
Tamra @emilyhaldi we love MT & WY in particular so much the bulk of our vacation is spent here. We also love NM. 😁 Highly recommend. 👍🏾 5y
