This was seriously No Read November!

For some reason, I haven't been in much of a reading mood lately. Or really, at all. I finished one book last month. One. And it was a book that I began in October!  It's sad. But it happens. So here goes.

Under the Wide and Starry Sky by Nancy Horan (466 pages). Fanny Osbourne was in her late 30's when she met much younger Robert Louis Stevenson. He fell hard and fast; her love for him took a while to grow. But eventually she divorced her husband and they began a life together that saw his greatest literary successes, travel all over the world, and his constant poor health. Fanny was a fighter and a survivor. This author also wrote Loving Frank, which was an amazing book about Frank Lloyd Wright and his love, Mameh. This book was just as great. Unfortunately, I just haven't been in much of a reading mood lately. So it took me 40+ days to read (just 6 days of actual reading though).
