New Reading List for New Year

Well, it's time for a change!  Oh, sure, I'll still be reading my romance novels (already have a stack waiting by the fireplace), but I still have this feeling that I'd like to expand my reading choices, to stretch myself, both as a reader and a writer, sort of replenish the well of inspiration.

So here's my new reading theme for 2018 --  Armchair Travel!  Yes, it's easy, not costly and yet I can travel as far and as wide as I'd like, when I like.  Doesn't that sound wonderful?  And, in the meantime, these books may spark the little gray cells as to new venues for my romance stories -- it's a win, win, as far as I'm concerned.  Once again, I am not providing links to purchase;  this is purely for your exploratory pleasure!
