This year I wouldn’t actually mind a frightened groundhog. Now, I’m not trying to be cruel but if he goes back to his burrow for 6 more weeks and keeps spring at bay for a little longer, it’ll give me more time to catch up on my reading pile. I might even have time to enjoy re-reading Rome: The Emperor’s Spy before it’s time to uncurl myself from the armchair and get outside in the evenings again.

Don’t forget to join me here on Friday when M C Scott will answer questions about her latest novel, Rome: The Emperor’s Spy.
