I was in the mood to read last night so I finished both books I was reading and started another. I knit while doing a lot of the reading, and I cast off the stitches for the first sleeve on my tuxedo sweater.

Were the books recommendable?

Yes, I enjoyed Fall of Angels by Barbara Cleverly, which is a murder mystery set in Cambridge, England in 1923. The Art of Fashion: 1850-1859 by Deb Salisbury was dull but informative. It's basically 300 pages of fashion plate text and images from the 1850's in chronological order.
