  1. I've never read any of these, but it looks like a good list - will investigate! Right now I am reading Good Morning, Monster.

    1. Wow, that looks like an intense read but I bet it is very good too. I read the author's previous book and found it so.

  3. Your count made me go back and count my 4 and 5 star books. I was surprised too with 20! Of course, I reread a couple of favorites, so that threw off the randomness of mine a little. :)

  4. I read the St. Mary's series last year and loved it! I haven't met anyone else who has read them...so it's so great that you have!

  5. Glad for your list of good reads. Have only heard of the Kate Quinn book. But haven't read it. I just finished Whistler and really enjoyed it. Started a little slow but once it took off, the story was memorable.
