*Mercer-Williams House Museum. Savannah, Georgia.
*The Mercer-Williams House Museum is, of course, closely associated with John Berendt’s overrated 1994 non-fiction book, **Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. It also has a rather loose association to Johnny Mercer, which is more up the alley of my interests.
**Thus, the rather tenuous association with this week’s challenge.
I’m preparing a new mini-series about my writing space. Although I won’t be using it for the series proper, I love how this photo effect makes my knick-knacks look. That fox!

I won a copy of The Lost Tudor Princess by Alison Weir, via a Goodreads giveaway. Goodreads informed me that it would be 4-6 weeks before I received my book, but Penguin Random House had other ideas. It came in the post yesterday…a whopping 48 hours after that Goodreads email.
I’m excited to start reading my new book. A review will follow.
