    1. I really love the series (this is book three), but the author kind of abandoned it for a new one (Truly Devious) and I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!

    1. The stuff about Venezuela or the book itself? It's fiction... But I really enjoyed it.

    2. If Venezuela was the place to make good money at that time.

    3. Apparently not, after what happened in the book.... But the vast majority of it was about the Titanic incident - and most of that about Californian... I think you might like it, even if it is fiction.

    4. Ooooooh, good to know! The Californian could have made it to Titanic to help. If the Carpathia could zig zag through iceburgs at faster-than-top-speed in the dark, the Californian could have made it ten miles.

  5. I am wondering what the curtains have to do with the title...I hope you enjoy this one! Have a great weekend!

    1. It has to do with something murder-y! The curtains, anyway. As for the Shadow Cabinet...they know about murder-y stuff.

  6. Happy Friday!
    I'm currently reading "Fairest of Heart" by Karen Witemeyer. It's so fun. 😀
    "'Let go of that rope, you mangy mutt!' Jeb's cantankerous tone carried across the yard to where Penelope was taking clean sheets down from the line. 'It ain't a toy.'"
    I hope you have a great weekend!

  7. My book this week is The Vanishing at Castle Moreau by Jaime Jo Wright
    Chapter One Daisy Francois April 1870

    The castle cast its hypnotic pull over any passerby who happened along to find it, tucked derp in the woods in a place where no one would build a castle, let alone live in one.
