Looking for a Historical Mystery for next week's Book Club?
As promised in yesterday's newsletter, Amber's book club read is The Alchemist's Daughter, by Mary Lawrence.

If you're looking for your own Historical Mystery to read, we posted some Currently Available titles from the CloudLibrary on Instagram yesterday, and it's worth taking a spin through Amazon's Kindle listings as well.
