murder & mystery...

Two of my favourite series have had new books come out recently & I have treated myself to both - I borrow lots of books from the library, but there is something wonderful about having your own copy of a book.

I have every book in both the Phryne Fisher & Mary Russell series (so far) & plan to keep collecting them - if you like clever, entertaining mysteries I highly recommend them.

I'm keeping Garment of Shadows for reading on our Queensland trip later this month, but I've already started Murder and Mendelssohn - trying to pace myself & not stay up all night finishing it :)

of frogs & books...

Isn't  my frog bookmark awesome? My youngest brother made him for me late last year. He made a small series of them - my frog, a bear for mum & a cat for each of our younger sisters (you can see Kathryn's here).

& a book I read recently - The Language of Bees - the latest Mary Russell novel by Laurie R. King. I love this series, smart, fun & intriguing. Mary Russell is a modern 1920's woman, who solves mysteries & studies theology. Her partner in crime (or against crime) is none other than Sherlock Holmes....if you enjoy mysteries, I highly recommend these books :)
