March First Reads

 This month's choices: 

 

  • The Price of Honey (psych thriller) bonus short read
  • As Far As She Knew (domestic suspense)
  • In the Great Quiet (historical fic)
  • Yours Always (psych thriller)
  • No Place to Be Single (book club fic - romance)
  • What Happened Next (mystery)
  • Maybe It's Fate (contemporary fic)
  • The Last Labyrinth (fantasy) 
  • Whispers of Ink and Starlight (book club fic - urban fantasy)

 I went with Last Labyrinth, although it may turn out to be romantasy based on the description.

Dishes

 For whatever reason - supposedly for the kid's "hope chest"  - I spent $5 on a box of dishes last week.  About 6 place settings, with extra plates.  It's a British pattern, and so pretty.  If the offspring doesn't want it, I'll use it myself. 

 


 It's a pattern called Hedgerow, made in England.  Blackberries and flowers. 

For the bargain price of $5, we got 12 large plates, 11 medium plates (salad plates?), 4 smaller plates, 12 saucers, 9 teacups, and 4 bowls.
