Sunday Salon and The Secret of the Glass Week

Good morning everyone! I hope you all are having a much better weekend than I am. We have had consistent running water here since Thursday because my father screwed something up with our water system. Then last night as we got the pipes fixed and the cold water working mostly right, we find out that we need to get a new hot water heater because he messed that up too. So hopefully with a new hot water heater today, we might be back close to correct. I would love to shower at home again, haha. But, enough with my problems.

I’m still reading The Scarlet Lion by Elizabeth Chadwick for our March Roundtable event. With all of the problems we have been having around here and the Olympics on, I have been slacking a little on my reading. I have started listening to Mercy by Jodi Picoult on audio book in the car. I am enjoying it, but not as much as I did her other books, Salem Falls and The Pact.

We also still have a giveaway going on here for 1 copy of The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory. This is open until February 27th.
This week is the February event for The Historical Fiction Round Table and we are featuring The Secret of the Glass by Donna Russo Morin. Over at the main blog you can find the official announcement and the first giveaway – for a copy of the book. I have posted our schedule of events for this week below for easy access. The events being hosted here are on the 22nd and the 28th.
