Elizabeth, you just wasted my whole night! Review posted.
Edited to say: wasted, as in used up. The comment is a positive jest, and I just realized it could be read otherwise.

Reading some nonfiction: Unbeaten Tracks in Japan, by Isabella Bird, letters that the author wrote back to her sister and friends in the mid-19th century, as she became one of the first Western women to travel in the backwoods parts of Japan. Highly interesting, especially considering what's going on in Japan now...

I'm about to begin reading Sins of the Borgias - I'm always eager to read Italian historical fiction. The coveris spectacular.

It's really good. Written in first person, but it works well.
I enjoyed the first book more than the second.
I did a review of the first two books on goodreads. I'm now reading the third book.
