    I enjoyed your reviews of Darcy’s Voyage and The Miracles of Prato. I’ve added both to my TBR list. I really like the concept of the second book especially. I will have to look at some of the Lippi’s work again before I read the book.

    For the King’s Favor and the Rowan Coleman book also sound interesting to me. I’ll be sure to look for your reviews.

    Have a great week!
