My first free weekend...

I began my Saturday with a lovely read through the rest of Sarah Dunant's Birth Marks. Started out very well five months ago and left to myself a bit of a cliffhanger come the start of the semester. The second half was not as interesting which probably makes it a good thing that I put it down when I had. It dragged and dragged and the final pages were painfully boring. It was anticlimactic to the umpteenth power. Oh so. That's all right. At least I got to just lie down and read fiction all day without any care that there is anything else I needed to do. Her Birth of Venus was excellent. For me, she did better with the historical drama than modern crime. But I will still give her other books a chance. They were recommended by a friend of mine so I will see if the rest of the Hannah Wolfe series is up to stuff.
