Reviews Still To Do:
UNTIL I DIE by Amy Plum ~ review scheduled this week
It's actually Sunday xD Today I'm reading For Darkness Shows the Stars, but tomorrow I might start reading Lies Beneath, yesterday I finished The Golden Lily. It was good.
ReplyDeleteThe Queen's Vow looks good. I'm also curious about Glow. The premise reminds me so much of Across the Universe that I didn't pick it up when it was published last year.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about Tattooed!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous books for the week ahead!
ReplyDeleteI have heard such great things about the Homecoming Of Samuel Lake... :)

The Homecoming of Samuel Lake has been on my wishlist for a while, I look forward to your review.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great reading week!

I'm going to be reading The Queen's Vow soon, too. I can't wait to read it. Right now I am reading The Last Queen - I'm quite fascinated with these Spanish daughters of Ferdinand and Isabella.
ReplyDeleteI hope your copy of The Secret Keeper comes soon. I read it and really enjoyed it. I love reading anything to do with the Tudor period and haven't read too much about Kateryn Parr - she has quite an interesting story!
Have a great week and thanks for stopping by my blog earlier!
Kristin @ Always With a Book
The Homecoming of Samuel Lake looks like one I'd enjoy...hope you have a fabulous week!
