Given that I’ve spent the last week laid up with Corona, there has been a decent amount of reading happening. Sadly, I do not look anywhere near as glamorous as this painting. If only I had a rose to hold and a nightgown half as beautiful, perhaps Covid would have been less of an ordeal. Instead, I’ve made do with mismatched pajamas and old t-shirts. Still, I think this image is a lot nicer to set the tone, don’t you?

Here’s what I’ve read and share thoughts on below:

• The Trust, M.H. Eccleston

• The Man Who Died Twice, Richard Osman (reread)

• The Lost Apothecary, Sarah Penner

• A Fatal Crossing, Tom Hindle

• Friends in High Places, Donna Leon

• Dial A for Aunties, Jesse Q. Suntanto
