March 14th's Friday Post

Look at this, two weeks in a row!  Time for another Friday Post.  I'll be linking up to:

Book Beginnings
First Line Friday
Friday 56
Book Blogger Hop

My quotes for the first three will be coming from Homicide in the Indian Hills by Erica Ruth Neubauer.


This is the sixth book featuring Jane Wunderly.  The time is 1927, and, obviously, she is traveling to India.  She has really managed to get around in this series, thanks in part to her new husband who works for the Crown.

Here's how this book begins:

It was a good thing that I wasn't afraid of heights, only enclosed spaces, since the steam train we were on was clacking up an incredibly narrow track along the side of a mountain.

As someone with a fear of heights, this one does hit home.  Usually, I'm in okay in a train or something like that, on a track.  But it can still be hard, depending on what the track is like.  I might have to sit on the other side from the drop off, for example.

Meanwhile, on page 56, we find this:

"You're looking for Savithri Kumari?" The voice was British and cultured, and I turned slowly to find that Lady Goshen was its owner.
I could feel my face flush with pink. I had no quick answer as to why I was looking for her husband's mistress.

I finished this book earlier on Thursday, and enjoyed it.  My review will be up on Wednesday next week ahead of it's release day of March 25th.  I hope you'll come back to read what I thought.

Meanwhile, let's look at this week's Book Blogger Hop.  The question is:

Do you only feature reviews on your blog?

Well, considering I'm doing this post, the answer is no.  I do have this and my Sunday/Monday Posts, which aren't reviews.  My Weekly TV Thoughts on Saturdays aren't official reviews, but they are kind of mini reviews in a stream of consciousness sort of way.  Outside of those posts, I do just feature reviews.  I don't do spotlights or interviews.  Of course, I do review things other than books, which helps me provide something every day.

That wraps things up.  Have a great weekend!

  2. This sounds good. I haven't heard of this series before. I do enjoy armchair traveling.

  3. I'm not afraid of heights but I don't think I'd like to be on a train on a very narrow track on the side of a mountain! This sounds like a good one.
