I am on the move today but don’t want to be late. So for now I’ll leave my vestal teaser up and edit it later as I finished that book up last week.

Edit: decided to keep last weeks quote as well as many it seems didn’t see it last week which is fine 👍🏼 Here is this weeks quote as well for you. Thank all of you for baring with me while I’m on holiday and in general.

No Vestal could be killed within Romes walls. A small chamber had been built near the Colline Gate, in the campus sceleratus. A place more often known as the Evil Fields. The Emperor has ordered a dais and stands erected, as if for a festival, but the crowd there was curiously hushed as they watched the Vestal Virgin pause before her burial chamber gathering her snowy robes.” – Mistress of Rome of 330 by Kate Quinn

Random Question: Do books ever make you hungry?

Ok this might seem like a super silly question but it isn’t that far out of the box is it? Sometimes when I’m reading a book especially one of my historical books and they talk about a big fancy meal I can feel my mouth water. In fact just read a bunch of stuff about a meal heavy on deserts and of course that makes me want to dig into a cake or something. That isn’t helped at all by the fact that Tesco has these wonderful cheap little cakes 😂. I know they aren’t top of the line bakery or anything they are a bit dry but flavor wise I like them especially the lemon drizzle and Victoria sponge. Yummy yummy. And now just typing this has made me want one 😂. How about you with food?

For me this week I need to be short and sweet again, as I’ve been being a bit of a tourist. A bit of Rome being read in Rome.

Hello from England again!

“Elizabeth banished her ladies, Anne Warwick, Helena Gorges and Philadelphia Scrope,to the far reaches of the grand gallery overlooking the tiltyard. She walked alone under the Mural of Moses on the ceiling, her footsteps sounding hollow against the stone expanse beneath.” – page 157 His Last Letter by Jeane Westin

Random Question: Hardcopy or Kindle for plane travel?

I am off and traveling tomorrow! Can hardly wait and have so much to get done! I haven’t even finished packing yet, which is awful lol. But that does lead me to ask when you travel do you prefer to have a few hard copy books in your carry on or the good old electronic kindle these days?
