I am back—finally

Almost two months ago, my husband and I left our beloved desert mountains for the rainy, tree-covered hills of Tennessee.  The trip itself was bad enough.  No catastrophes, only  lots of little crises.  And waiting for our furniture to arrive was even worse.  But now we are settling into our new home, and I can begin blogging again.

I have read lots of books since I have been offline, and made some brief remarks I will be turning into blog post, if not real reviews, in the days ahead.  Several were excellent books I am eager to share with readers whom I think would also enjoy them.  Others are books of varying merit that I received as pre-publication review copies by promising to write about them.  As always, my reading has been diverse and often by women writers from a wide range of cultures.  I hope you will find something of interest in my shortened comments.  When I get caught up, I will go back to long, more thoughtful reviews.
