Escapism is the only way to go!

Well there are too many things conspiring against me at the moment to be doing anything productive.

Camera battery dead (still needs charging) so no real photos to share of interest... But here are some shots from the garden.

Now that it is overcast my pink lilies have started coming out - tsk and I can't sit out on the beanbag and enjoy their scent what with the blah weather we're having here:

I just hope the wind doesn't knock them over again!

Then other things are doing quite well in the garden, The Begonia Basket being one of them:

And I am patiently waiting for the fuchsias to open... no doubt they will while the weather is miserably dark and wet and will promptly drop off!

The only thing thriving indoors is the good old Geranium in the conservatory which gets visited by bees when the doors are wide open:

Otherwise I have been trying to keep up with my pile of books from the library (they have increased the limit to 15 books out at a time... yikes).

I've recently read:

Burning Lamp by Amanda Quick - rather liked her historical version of the Arcane Society Series, not that taken with the modern day series enough to get into it, but I may check out more of her writing as Amanda Quick. :o)
 

 

Suddenly You by Lisa Kleypas - it was ok, but I blooming well hate these "romance" covers...

Next I returned to some Mary Balogh:

First Comes Marriage by Mary Balogh - the first book in the Huxtable series, enjoyed it so will be getting the rest of the series out.

Then a new author to try:

An Affair Before Christmas by Eloisa James - never read her stuff before and this was an OK read, won't be checking out the rest of the series in a real hurry, but would really like to read the book about Jemma and Elijah Beaumont in this series. Hope the library gets it in for me. :o)

And now for my current read, although when I finish it is anyone's guess! I shall be working extra time this week and probably the weekend. :o(

And on that note, I think it only fair I go and get a few chapters read before bed! ;o)

All your flowers are looking wonderful - despite the weather!
It's been blowing a hoolie here all day, but it's not cold outside and there have even been some sunny spells - as they say on the weather reports!
I don't know any of the authors you've showcased here - you certainly get through the books, Nat!
