So High a Blood: the Story of Margaret Douglas, the Tudor that Time Forgot (nonfiction 2017) by Morgan Ring

Although I did remember that she was Henry VIII's niece and Darnley's mother, I knew nothing else about Margaret. I couldn't believe I read a nonfiction work so fast, since it was engaging and exciting and insightful.  Highly recommend for Tudor buffs.

Venetian Blood: Murder in a Sensuous City by Christine Evelyn Volker (mystery) 2017

Picked this one up because I needed a paperback and was pleasantly surprised by a fun and sexy mystery set in a wonderful place.  Towards the end, it was too easy to see what happened, but enjoyable nonetheless.  It was a quick read.
