This week's topic: What was the best book you read in February?
My task is made easier this time around by the puny number of books I read this month. For good reason, though--I was reading some books on writing craft and working on outlining my WIP, Crow's Rest. So the best book I read was the fourth in the Flavia De Luce series:
If you haven't read the series, how could you resist this description from the Flavia website:
"Flavia de Luce has a passion for poisons.
Picture an ancient country house somewhere in England. The year is 1950.
Picture a girl who lives there with her most eccentric family. Her name is Flavia de Luce--and she's almost eleven.
Picture a long-abandoned Victorian chemistry lab; no one ever goes there but Flavia.
Put them all together and you'll have a deliciously original approach to detective fiction."
How could that not be intriguing???
And here's a trailer for all four books:
Happy reading, and I'll see you all on the road!
