Today: a cascade of tough stuff.

Finished reading: Love, Come to Me by Lisa Kleypas 📚

This has a steam rating of 🔥🔥🔥.

A very early Kleypas. Be warned: the hero is a Confederate veteran. Apparently, he opposed slavery but fought for the Confederacy anyway.

Finished reading: When We Flew Away: A Novel of Anne Frank Before the Diary by Alice Hoffman 📚
