Wow! An embarrassment of riches! Two ARCs from NetGalley in one day! Thanks NG and Thomas Nelson for this book!

Woo hoo! Thank you, NetGalley and Victory Editing! I've already pre-ordered the paperback but am excited to read it in ebook form!

Time to visit an old favorite. It's been too long since I last read this great story.

Just started "The Body in the Library", Miss Marple Book 2 and am loving it. I forgot how witty Agatha Christie can be!

Just finished "The Murder at the Vicarage", the first Miss Marple book and I loved it! I thought I had remembered who the murderer was but I was SO wrong! Anyway, a delightful, witty story with an "I didn't see that coming" ending. Now onto "The Body in the Library".

This was recommended by several people. Not my usual kind of read but they really raved about it so I'm giving it a try.

I've been binge watching "The Repair Shop" and remembered how much enjoyed this story with its own repair shop. Yay!

Thank you, NetGalley and Random House for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you, NetGalley and HarperCollins!

One of my favorite go-to comfort reads. Yay!

Thank you, NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for this free audiobook in exchange for my honest review. AND as an added bonus, Tanya Eby (of "Fool's Gold" fame) is the narrator. Woo hoo!

Time to revisit my friends at the teashop!

It's occurred to me that Nik's transformation is in some ways similar to Eustace's in "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader".

OK, not totally free but Audible is having a promotion of 3 months for 99 cents per month so almost free. Also, it's only a borrow as I can only have it in my library as long as I'm a member. However, as an HP fanatic I've really wanted the chance to listen to this new version so I'm very excited to do so.

So much better the second time around. I just finished Book 1 and am looking forward to Book 2. I think part of my enjoyment is because of my positive experience reading the second series,."A Mage's Apprentice". Anyway, I've returned the library book and now own my own copy.

After reading "A Mage's Apprentice", I now want to go back and give this series another try. TBD...

I absolutely loved "The Spoken Mage" and "The Hidden Mage" and own both the books and audiobooks. However, I only sort of liked "A Mage's Apprentice".

However, since a master storyteller like Melanie Cellier actually had me rooting for Princess Ava after her despicable behavior in "The Princess Companion", I'm going to give her a chance to redeem Nik after his bad behavior in "A Mage's Apprentice".

Only 38 pages in and I LOVE Cadence and Matt!!!!

Trying a new author after reading Obsidian's wonderful review.

I'm going to give this author another try. After absolutely loving her first two books, I found her next few hard to get into as the MCs were hard to like as was the underlying preachiness. Anyway, I'm hoping that this story is right up there with "How to Fail at Flirting" and "The Fastest Way to Fall" since they are both two of my favorite books and perennial re-reads. TBD

I love the fast paced, snarky dialogue similar to "The Gilmore Girls". So entertaining!

Just bought this old favorite on Kobo for 99 cents. This is one of my favorite Mansell books and it's been too many years since I re-read it.

This dialogue is so brilliant!!! Katherine Center, you are awesome!!!
