Now reading "Death Comes to Pemberley." I'm a total mystery buff, and this one imagines a murder Jane Austen style!

I usually like fiction, but I'm reading "The Girls Who Went Away: The Hidden History of Women Who Surrendered Children for Adoption in the Decades Before Roe v. Wade." Some amazing, never-before-told stories!
