In reply to Rachael.

I’m not fully reading in order … I am a few books ahead of schedule and some have been a little mixed up based on library availability etc… I am just responding by theme as per your posts. Last year I got a bit behind and things got out of whack that I didn’t communicate with you at all! 🙂 🙂

In reply to Stacy Mathieson. Oh, the ending was one of my favorite parts of Addie LaRue. Hopefully you'll think the same!

In reply to Deanna. Yes, I'm feeling much better! I'll be curious what you think of The Midnight Library. I didn't love it quite as much as most people. I thought it dragged a little bit, but the base story was really interesting.

In reply to Andra Sudler. I'm halfway through The Road right now, and it's definitely one of the bleakest books I've ever read!

In reply to Meredith. I haven't read The Alice Network yet, and I really need to! I keep hearing great things. She has a new book out, The Rose Code, that sounds amazing! Too many books too little time!!

In reply to Terra W. Look at you going in order! I tried that my first year, but quickly had to give it up. I hope you enjoyed your choices. I've read (and loved) the first two and need to read The Paris Wife.

The Alice Network by Kate Quinn has been my favorite read this month followed closely by The Dating Plan by Sara Desai.
Least favorite would be The Duke & I by Julia Quinn; it just didn’t really do anything for me compared to other romances I’ve read lately.
