SusannaG - Confessions of a Crazy Cat Lady
Just another GR refugee. Other than that, I had a stroke in 2004, and read almost anything I can get my hands on, though I have a particular weakness for history, mystery, and historical fiction.

May Roundup
May 2015: a month in which all the books I finished were historical mysteries! (I am reading other things, just haven't finished them yet.)
The best: The Rhetoric of Death, by Judith Rock. Jesuits and ballet and the court of Louis XIV and, of course, murder.
The least: The Alchemist's Daughter, by Mary Lawrence. A "warts and all" Tudor, set in 1543 London and environs. Just OK - it might well be more someone else's taste than mine.
