As we prepared to leave for the annual Let’s Get Some Sun and Warm Weather journey, central Massachusetts was coping with a storm that delivered a couple of feet of snow, accompanied by not-delightful arctic temperatures. The former made a wreck of our travel plans and the latter continued long after the snows ceased. Eventually though, we made our way southward, dodging storms as we went—because the southeast U.S. had joined the We’re Freezing Here club. We New Englanders are used to snow and cold. Not that we love it: Note that some of us run away. But it’s especially hard on people unaccustomed to this level of weather brutality.
In any case, it’s not a bad time to cozy up with a book or ten. Actually, this is never a bad idea, no matter what the weather. And for the next week or so, until Valentine’s Day, you can cozy up to the Chirp Audio* edition of Dukes Prefer Blondes for a mere $4.99.
This is the fourth book in the Dressmakers trilogy (I know), featuring an obnoxious barrister known as Raven Radford and the one woman who’s up to his weight, Lady Clara Fairfax. The talented Kate Reading narrates. Beautifully. If you’ve already listened, you might want to make a Galentine’s or Valentine’s Day gift to a friend.
*Chirp audio is available in the U.S. and Canada only. No subscription is required. You sign up, that’s all, and get emails informing you about deals. Mine is not the only audio book on sale at present. You might also want to take a look at the other offerings on the main page.
