Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas - 280 pages
Gabriel, Lord St. Vincent, has managed to avoid marriage for years. But then he is found assisting Pandora Ravenel in a compromising position and now they are forced to marry. The problem is that Pandora has no desire to wed. She wants to stay independent and manage her blossoming career as a board game designer.
I really enjoyed this book. While it is the third book in the Ravenels series, it could also be considered a sequel to the third Wallflowers series book -- Devil in Winter. It was interesting to revisit the old characters as you met new and interesting characters. The only thing that bothered me is that I have to wait until next spring to read the next book in the series.

Who Was Milton Bradley? by Kirsten Anderson
Who Was Milton Bradley? by Kirsten Anderson, 117 pages
I love these Who Was...? biographies. Although, they are written for kids, these books are great reads for adults too.
Milton Bradley was a young man born in 1836 from Maine who moved to Massachusetts to find more lucrative work. Milton was a brilliant inventor and printer. He is considered the father of modern board games. Not only did he invent the Checkered Game of Life which later became known as the Game of Life in the 1960s, he also developed a lot of educational products. He developed educational toys for kindergartners and also created game packages to entertain the troops. Milton Bradley was truly a creative man!
