This past weekend I finished reading Michelle Moran's Nefertiti, and what a pleasure it was. This historical fiction novel obliterated the bad taste Mistress of the Sun left in my mouth. Moran richly described ancient Egypt, the characters were so well thought and developed, the story was captivating, engrossing and entertaining, as well as informative. As soon as I get the chance, seeing as how I have stacks of books yet unread on my book shelves, I plan on reading the sequel, The Heretic Queen. And if the second installment is just as good then I will be a Michelle Moran fan and read all of her historical fiction novels of which she has quite a few.
While I wait for my book club book to come in the mail (yes, I'm slacking), The Art of Seeing is my current read. So far so good. I'll keep you posted.
In the meantime, happy Valentine's Day (not that I'm a fan of this Hallmark holiday, but I do appreciate the sentiment)! (Lady Antebellum's song "Need You Now" won a bunch of awards at last night's Grammy Awards. I think it was a sign. Le sigh.)
