I began Tuesday morning reading by 5 chapters in the Roman Mysteries. The light drizzle that came made the reading very enjoyable because the sound of the rain was quite soothing. The plot begins to heat up and some foreshadowing begins to appear. I love Lawerence's references to real history in her books. While I'm reading the book it feels like I'm reading a real person's diary from Ostia. Then, all during the rest of the week the plot begins to come down. I begin to understand the foreshadowing from earlier. She uses lots great descriptive words. I'm noticing that most of the characters in this book are static. As I'm reading my mind is trying to figure out the mystery alongside Flavia. I'm near the end of this book and this was a great week of reading.
