Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

I was going to review The Good Thieves yesterday, but there was a piano recital and Christmas decorating and then after my shower I got tired faster than I expected. Ah, well! The important thing is that I seriously enjoyed Katherine Rundell’s The Good Thieves; Vita’s mesmerizing 1920s adventure has an Eva Ibbotson flavor about it, as well as a bit of the feel of Splendors and Glooms. Her quest to return her grandfather’s ancestral home to him after a ruthless (and criminal) businessman steals it is fraught with danger, and I was rooting for her and the troupe of friends she gathers around her all the way. Definitely worth your time.

In the meantime, we need to figure out our dinner plans and continue trying to create Christmas order from our living room’s current chaos; have a wonderful Sunday!
