Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes. After Italy, I watched the movie and read the book. Funny how the two are NOTHING alike but each good in its own way. Ah, how I long for a villa in Tuscany! One that's already renovated, that is.
The Diary of a Provincial Lady by E. M. Delafield. I forget if someone in one of the chats recommended this or not, but it was a super-cute, funny British book from the 30s.
The Shadowy Horses by Susanna Kearsley. I forgot to tell Semper about this but it takes place in Scotland and tells of an archeological dig funded by an eccentric who is determined to discover what happened to the Ninth Roman Legion. Very romance-y but the history made it good.
Amongst Our Weapons by Ben Aaronovitch. Most recent in the Rivers of London series. I liked it but I kind of feel like the series needs to move along toward its epic fight-between-good magic-and-and evil magic conclusion.
