I read a lot of books this month. Sixteen to be exact. I had quite a few books from 2025 that I wanted to get through and the freezing cold weather early in the month was supportive of this. Three of them were historical fiction, four were graphic novels, one was literary fiction and the rest were mysteries. My top read was between Mindy Quigley's At Death's Dough, Syou Ishida's We'll Prescribe You a Cat and Gary McAvoy's The Hildegard Seeds. The Hildegard Seeds won out. It is the best book McAvoy has written in his Vatican Secret Archives Mystery series.
In the Hildegard Seeds, Hana Sinclair inherited a medieval botanical manuscript written by Hildegard von Bingen. Hana believes that the book contains the key to curing some of humanity’s most devastating diseases. Of course, Big Pharma is determined to ensure her secrets stay buried. If patients are cured, these companies lose money because no one will need their meds. This is a short summary of a complex plot that takes the characters to France, Italy and Germany.
