Haven't been reading as much as I used to. Must be the holidays keeping me busier than normal - decluttering, tidying and filing, putting up a tree, getting ready to wrap presents, etc. We plan a relatively quiet Christmas this year, however.
A book came for a tour I signed up for though I don't know the dates yet. I'm getting into it though and enjoying the idea of a book about moving to a South Pacific island.
The Last Good Paradise by Tatjana Soli is to be released February 10, 2015 by St. Martin's Press. I received an Advanced Readers Edition for review. Here is a brief synopsis: "a novel set on an island resort, where guests attempting to flee their troubles realize they can’t escape who they are."Haven't been reading as much as I used to.

But it seems a coral atoll might be a nice place to try.
I also have lined up a cozy read, a Library Lover's Mystery by Jenn McKinlay - On Borrowed Time, the fifth in the series.
What have you planned for holiday reading?
Sometimes I want to run away to a small island in the Pacific too :) I'm curious about that book now. And the cozy Library Lovers series sounds like light fun--enjoy!
ReplyDeleteNothing planned for holiday reading, we'll have family meetings, so very little time :) I keep a Christmas anthology nearby, just in case. Happy holidays, enjoy your book haul !
ReplyDeleteHolidays are away busy and makes it sometimes not so fun..a quiet Christmas would be great. :) Enjoy your new read.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy reading,

I haven't read much this week either... a book about moving to an island in the South Pacific sounds pretty appealing!
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with these books, but I hope you enjoy them! Happy Holidays!

I finished the original novel of 101 Dalmations last night and it was a delight! I decided that I was going to catch up on the JD Robb series in the next week or so -- those books are always a great distraction for me.
ReplyDeleteI love the covers, especially the first one. I suspect reading will slow for many of us until after Christmas.
ReplyDeleteBoth books look very tempting! Enjoy, and have a wonderful holiday season.

Both of your books look good to me. I like the idea of the South Pacific setting (warm!) and the cover of On Borrowed Time is very nice too. Looks like a place I want to go. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays!!
Both books look cozy good. I live in a tropical area so can relate to wanting to move to the tropics. The Christmas decorations are fun too. Lots of people get really creative trying to have a southern theme to their displays. I hope to get pictures to post!
ReplyDeleteHave a Merry Christmas!

I have also slowed down reading and have been decluttering and getting ready for Christmas. I hope you enjoy the season!
ReplyDeleteThe Last Good Paradise sounds good. Enjoy being swept away to a tropical paradise. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteNice books! I hope you enjoy them :)
