Fire queen by Kathleen Morgan
Good change of genres as this one is about Robin Hood times and starts out with the flying of the falcons.
Her father is giving her to a Lord as she's marriageable age now. She'd rather train with her saber against her body guard than go to balls and dress up.
The mercenaries are overtaking their land but her future husband to be has a plan. Like her mother she has powers and has seen who will be hers... she wants her freedom to choice.
After they escape they are captured and the mercenary knows her bodyguard and with help from a healer they are able to cure the bodyguard. She is sold to the head mercenary Hawk and he wants her to be his wench.
She just wants to show him her value with her fighting skills. She has to open up and tell her where she is from and why she ran away. The healer Maude teaches her about her magic powers and tells her of her mother's abandonment, not her death at Deidre's birth.
Steamy sex scenes as he teaches her of lovemaking. She tends to the falcon and learns of plots to overthrow her fathers lands.

And then I found you by Patti Callahan Henry
Beautiful story of a lady who becomes pregnant but the guy has gotten married tired of waiting for her.
Kate has the baby girl, Luna and gives her up for adoption. Her whole family remembers every March 20 of the birth. Jack and Kate exchange letters to one another about their life and reminiscing about Luna every year of her birth.
Chapters go from present to the past and then onto Emily who we learn is Luna and she's trying to find her birth mother.
We are able to figure out all the details and the emotions going through each other as the book goes on. Kate is to be married to Rowan and she meets with Jack as he's now divorced to make sure it's going to tell Rowan about Luna.
Things escalate as they agree to meet Emily...love the symbolism of the feathers.
Have recently listened and read other works by the author and have enjoyed the books.

A finely knit murder, a Seaside Knitters mystery by Sally Goldenbaum
Have read all the other books in this series and have enjoyed them. A mix of knitting and a mystery to solve.
Starts out in a town along the coast in MA. An artists' town, a teacher is being let go because he forgets to teach class and spends his time painting at home.

It's up to the ladies and friends of the yarn shop to ask questions and do the time frame of where everybody was at the time of the murder.
Love knit pattern at the end of this book along with a recipe.

Meter means measure, the story of the metric system by Carl S. Hirsch
Interesting book about the start of the meter. Lots of controversy over the years as to when to adopt this measurement in the US.
So much easier to use not only in manufacturing but overseas. Hope US jumps on this soon, so much more accurate when measuring knitting also, not just food and liquids.
Liked the part about when the coal miners would weigh the coal brought up vs the weight they bought at the store-2 totally different measurements.
