Karen White – Spirited Story & History

Since there hasn’t been a RARM when at least one of Team W (and often all of them) have participated, I feel honor-bound to say publicly at least one more time how much I love these writers, both individually and as a team.

And since it’s Thursday, and they all write books with historical settings, let’s just call it #TBTTeamW (White, Williams & Willig)

So I definitely feel Karen White is at a disadvantage where I’m concerned – for some reason, I just haven’t managed to get my hands on her books like I have with Williams and Willig. I’ve read a few, and the ones I have, I’ve really liked.

Her Tradd Street series is super entertaining, because really, who doesn’t love the idea of spirits haunting old houses in New Orleans? And a realtor who can see ghosts and a sexy writer with an affinity for unsolved mysteries?

It’s a fabulous hook, and the main characters, Jack and Melanie, roil through their feelings for each other as they deal with malevolent and beneficent spirits who have some stories to tell!

And of course I love the Team W books, so I keep meaning to read more of her stand-alones, beyond Tradd Street.

However, I recently saw on her FB page that she’s celebrating her 20th anniversary as a published author, so I’ve resolved to read (or listen to) at least one of her backlist titles before the end of the year, and I’m really excited for her April 2021 release, THE LAST NIGHT IN LONDON.

(The short description on Amazon: New York Times bestselling author Karen White weaves a story of friendship past and present, love, and betrayal that moves between war-torn London during the Blitz and the present day.)

So I hope you’ll raise a virtual glass to Karen for this milestone year, and join me in picking up at least one of her books in honor of her wonderful achievements and her excellent books!

Roselle Lim – The Delights of Magic, Paris & Tea

August 30, 2020

Lim’s writing is graceful and accomplished, allowing her to tell a layered, imaginative, entrancing tale with the lyricism and radiance it deserves.

Jenn McKinlay – Paris Books Are Always A Good Idea

August 30, 2020

This book was a great mix of deeper themes like extended grief and reclaiming one’s true self when life has become all work and no joy, held in tension with elements like reconnecting with old loves and finding them completely different than the hazy version of a decade ago.

Albertalli/Saeed – Say Yes to Yes, No, Maybe So

August 29, 2020

Today’s theme is: Some Awesome YA! Be sure to check out the posts on Sandhya Menon & Stephanie Perkins too! YES, NO, MAYBE SO is a warm, funny, engaging story, but it deals with so many issues in ways that are inspiring and uplifting, even as it reflects realistic disappointments and setbacks, that it is […]
