What I am reading this month as a break from quilting

During the month of March, I have been reading The Ghost Fields by British author, Elly Griffiths.
Dr. Ruth Galloway is a forensic archaeologist who teaches at (the fictional) Norfolk University. In her forties, single and overweight, she’s a successful woman who manages to overcome what society tells her.

 Dr. Ruth Galloway and the surprisingly complex DCI Harry Nelson are out to solve the mystery of the Ghost Fields.  The find is the body of a pilot in a WWII plane during the clearing of land for a housing development.  It becomes clear that this body has not been there since the end of the war.  With a colorful array of characters and a good sense of the landscape of Norfolk, this book is a good read.
Genre: Crime Fiction – Series
Books in Order: 
The Crossing Places
The Janus Stone
The House at Sea’s End
A Room full of Bones
Dying Fall
The Outcast Dead
The Ghost Fields
The Woman in Blue

My tea for this read is the Disney Wonderland Tea – Mad Tea Party Blend (loose leaf).  It is a blend of Indian Black Teas, Safflowers, Calenula petals, Ginger bits, Apricot bits, and Peach and Apricot flavors.

I find it relaxing to sip hot tea during my reading time.









What I have plannednext is "Fates and Traitors,a Novel of John Wilkes Booth" By Jennifer Chiaverini author of the Elm Creek Quilt Series.
