February Reading

 My February reading has been constant, with 10 books, so far. I've been turning the computer off around 5.00pm most nights and then sitting and reading before I start dinner. Reading in bed also happens.

My author for February is Katie Fford. I read two of hers, Island in the Sun. Set in the Caribbean, on Dominica, Cass is asked by her father to undertake a photography project. Things happen, which make it an interesting read. I gave it five stars. 

One Enchanted Evening,  was the second one of hers I read. This one is set in 1964, in a small hotel in Dorset. A fun read, also five stars.

Thomas McaEntee's  new book, The Big Book of Genealogy Lists,  is just that. Full of useful lists, covering everything from Common Abbreviations & Acronyms to A Research Checklist, and everything in between. A really useful book, that I found interesting to read through and I know I will be using it with my research.  Do you know what a Necessary Woman  was?  See the end of this post to find out.

Karly Lane is another Australian Author I enjoy reading. The One That Got Away is set in Rockne Heads, a small seaside town. It is the story of Alex and Sully and the past and setting  things right.

Marion Todd and her DI Clare MACKAY Series were part of this months reading. I had missed the last three,  A blind eye, Bridge to burn and Dead man's shoes, so was happy to settle in and read these. Set in St Andrew's, Scotland, they are really good crime mysteries.

So what is a  Necessary Woman?  A household worker assigned to wash and empty chamber pots.
