At any one time I am reading multiple books. It often fascinates me when I come across random parallels while reading two different (and unrelated books).<\/p>\n
I’ve been re-reading Candace Robb’s Owen Archer serires for months now. I’ve read it several times, so it’s perfect bedtime reading: it’s interesting, but not fast-paced to keep me awake. <\/p>\n
What else I am reading is entirely dependent upon my mood. With the world the way it is, I’ve been doing a lot of re-reading for comfort. After reading Jennifer Ashley’s Kat Holloway series, starting with Death Below Stairs<\/em>, I wanted to re-read a favorite, Michelle Diener’s Banquet of Lies<\/em><\/a>, which is also partially set in an historical British kitchen and features a lot of cooking.<\/p>\n Which meant that in one week I ended up reading two references to Thomas Becket.<\/p>\n \u201cWho will rid me of this troublesome priest?\u201d Bartlett spoke from the window, his words jumbled and slurred, almost unintelligible. <\/p>\n \u201cGet out, Bartlett, you’re drunk.\u201d The Prince Regent heaved his bulky frame to his feet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Diener, Michelle<\/a>. A Dangerous Madness<\/em><\/a> (Regency London Series Book 3) (p. 140).<\/p>\n If Wykeham\u2019s fears proved justified, that Lancaster saw him as a Becket\u2014 a too-powerful prince of the Church who stood in his way…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Robb, Candace<\/a>. The Cross-Legged Knight<\/em><\/a>: The Owen Archer Series – Book Eight (p. 329).
