1/31: Classics unexpectedly

I picked up the Cecilia & Kate novels by Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer as a lark.  There was a little Latin and Greek woven into the first one--but the second one has lots of nods to Classics!  During most of the day things are too busy to do any leisure reading, but at the end of the day I've been reading them until I'm too tired to keep my eyes open, and then I squeeze in a few pages while drinking my morning coffee.  It's nice to feel how the writers of these co-authored books must have been having fun.

I also like reading them because they remind me of a dear former student who loves Wrede's dragon series.
