And Only to Deceive
Tasha Alexander

Harper Paperbacks, 2006

My New Favorite Author

+ Victorian Romp
+ Enjoyable

I loved Tasha Alexander's writing style. It was so smooth and the story was so lovely! I couldn't put the book down. If you like period writing...especially 19th Century, you'll really enjoy this book. I also love Emily, the main character. She's strong, fun, independent, but also flawed and ...
  
  











  



  
A Fatal Waltz
Tasha Alexander

William Morrow, 2008

Read on my Kindle

+ Not like the previous books ...
+ Winning mix of Mystery, History and Fashion!!

I so enjoyed Tasha Alexander's first book in this series, that I bought the next two and read them on my new Kindle during our recent trip to Central Europe. Vienna was particularly brought to life while we were there by Alexander's descriptions of places we were visiting, like Schoenbrunn Palace, ...
  
  











  



  
Off the Deep End
W. Hodding Carter

Algonquin Books, 2008

excellent and inspiring

+ Charming and intelligent!
+ A MUST READ for any Masters Swimmer!

The Shoe Queen
Anna Davis

Pocket, 2007

LOVED IT!

+ A New Edna?

I'm a fashion student so I'm sucker for anything Paris related. I'm also fasinated by the 20's so this book peeked my interest from the beginning! And, okay the cover is pretty :) I wasn't expecting much but it drew me in instantly and I couldn't put it down until I finished! It turned out to be ...
  
  











  



  
Her Royal Spyness (A Royal Spyness Mystery)
Rhys Bowen

Berkley, 2008

her royal spyness

+ Marvellous sense of humor

I decided to try "Her Royal Spyness" because I am such a fan of Rhy Bowen's Molly Murphy mysteries. This series is different but just as good. Compared to the Molly Murphy series, this new series has much more humor & a little less mystery. However, I still found myself hooked, & I love Georgiana, ...
