Tuesday – My contribution for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday was Books With The Word ‘Woman’ in the Title.I also shared my review of historical novel A Fatal Love by Louisa Treger, based on the true story of Ruth Ellis who was the last woman to be executed in Britain. Coincidentally, this week she was finally given a ‘conditional pardon’ following decades of campaigning by her family.
Wednesday – As always WWW Wednesday is a weekly opportunity to share what I’ve just read, what I’m currently reading and what I plan to read next… and to take a peek at what others are reading.

Saturday – I took part in the #6Degrees of Separation meme forging a book chain from book of the moment Yesteryear to The Psychology of Time Travel. I also joined other gardeners for #SixonSaturday sharing six things from my garden this week.
Abigail’s brother Benjamin is dead, and her world has literally been split in two. In one reality Abigail finds herself back at work, navigating the frustrations of well-wishers and busybodies, desperately wondering why her brother has gone. In the other an eminent detective arrives determined to find Benjamin’s killer among his circle of close friends.
Is this a murder mystery or something more? What secrets do Benjamin’s friends hold? And can Abigail, immersed in her grief, find out the truth of her beloved brother’s life?
Sybil Van Antwerp is seventy-three, slowly losing her sight and always writing letters . . .
To her children. Her favourite authors. Her ex-sister-in-law. The journalist poking into her past. Her doctor. Suitors. Kindly neighbours. The infuriating gardening club.
All receive Sybil’s witty, wise correspondence, rich with everyday concerns.
But there is one letter that she has never sent. It concerns the darkest period of her life. To post it, Sybil must find forgiveness within herself.
