  3. Overdrive is great. I'll have to look at Libby, not familiar with it. And I've been reading a lot of psychological thrillers lately, but haven't tried Mary Kubica yet.

  6. I enjoyed Don't You Cry - Pretty Baby is my favourite by this author.

    We read My No So Perfect Life perfect life for book club in March. Most of our members enjoyed it but it didn't really work for me.

    Have a great week, happy reading!

  8. I've never heard of Overdrive! Making a note right now. How awesome is that.

    Will have a look at a few of the psychological thrillers you've shared, always love reading that genre.

    The Garden of Small Beginnings is a great title and I will also look into it!

  9. I read a ton of books via Overdrive in 2015 but I haven't liked their recent updates. Mostly now the ebooks I'm reading are ones I've purchased.

    Saturday was my the junior to cadette bridging ceremony in San Francisco. My daughter and I are sore and sunburnt from our adventure but we had fun. Come see what I'm reading.
