5 REASONS NOT TO MISS - THEN CAME YOU by Jill Shalvis ~ I adore this series.

RISKY BUSINESS by Amy Andrews ~ laughs, heart and hotness

Finished last week:

DANCING ON KNIVES by Kate Forsyth 

THORNWOOD HOUSE by Anna Romer (audiobook) ~ atmospheric 

************

This Week's Reading List: 


THE GOLDEN WIDOWS by Isolde Martyn ~ 10% in but good so far

CODE NAME VERITY by Elizabeth Wein (audiobook) ~ 50% done, it's great

THE HOUSE ON MERMAID POINT by Wendy Wax (Beach Road #3)

************

Reviews Coming:

TRAPPED AT THE ALTAR by Jane Feather ~ guest review by Karen tonight

MAYBE SOMEDAY by Colleen Hoover ~ loved it!!

THE COLLECTOR by Nora Roberts (audiobook) ~ not up there with The Witness. A bit predictable and implausible but still enjoyable, good narration by Jenna Whalen. 

CORDUROY LOST AND FOUND by B.G. Hennessy ~ my boys loved Corduroy when they were little and I still love this intrepid little bear.

  1. What a precious picture of your dad and your granddaughter!

    The Roaring Twenties birthday party sounds like fun. Love the costumes! I am considering that for the theme of my next murder mystery party.

    I am definitely planning to read the Jill Shalvis book and I am glad you are enjoying Code Name Verity. I absolutely love the cover of The House at Mermaid Point. It looks like my idea of paradise :)

  2. Love the pics. Dancing is great exercise - you sure look the part. I have Wendy Wax's book sitting on my actual TBR shelf, but may be a little while before I get to it. I've read one Jane Feather book, was a little 'hot' for me, must have a look at Karen's review when it posts. Have a great week.
