It's been another busy month.
I have read 27 books so far in 2020. I finished a wall hanging this month and my yellow roses sampler quilt top is ready to be sent to the machine quilter. I finally started on an Emily Dickinson quilt.
The Wednesday Afternoon Book Club at our local library read The Marsh King's Daughter, a psychological suspense story set in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Author Karen Dionne lives in Metro Detroit and we were thrilled to have her at our meeting to tell us about the book and her writing.
The Marsh King's Daughter has been translated into many languages; some of the foreign editions are shown below.
The next book club pick is Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I haven't read it since I was a teenager.
Lenore also sent me Charyn's novel Johnny One-Eye set during the American Revolution!
