So, I finally finished. I really liked Verity, and, while other reviews thought her ballroom dancing hobby interfered with the story, I strongly disagree. After all her conditioning from her 'hobby' is what helped her through her ordeals. While this series jumps between her and her siblings, if I get a chance to read anymore, I'll cherry pick Verity's episodes. 

Having a huge backlog of books with new ones all the time, and my own writing, will make it hard to find time to pick up another one though. Today my daughter and grandkids arrive for a week's stay then I'm meeting them for ten days in Europe before they return home to Bahrain, so I'll sort of be busy and, I already have two books (Circe and The Little Paris Bookshop) set aside for that trip. As it is I'll have to pass on reading The Inner Life of Cats in July. Just too much. I'll still read it in the future but I don't want to just skim it. I'm no scientist but thanks to a lifetime with cats, especially Io and Iris, the two teenage girls I have now, I know them pretty well.
