Enjoy your two selections!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love the sound of both of these! Thanks for sharing, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
ReplyDeleteI read Iris and Ruby earlier this year and it's probably still one of my favorites of 2016! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
ReplyDeleteThose both sound interesting. I especially like the sound of (and the cover to) The summer of Good Intentions. Sounds like a tense situation! :)
ReplyDeleteBoth sound good. I'm rereading Something Deadly by Rachel Lee. It's a favorite by her.
