DeleteI'm really looking forward to reading Seven Days of Us. Hope we enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteIt will be a nice pre-Christmas read!
DeleteInteresting assortment of books. All are new to me. My high school French and Spanish wouldn't let me read much more than a menu. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI am struggling because of my high school Spanish, but I had quite a few French classes in college, so that's a bit easier!
DeleteSeven Days of Us looks really good to me.
ReplyDeleteBeing stuck with relatives indoors for a week could be fun, or not...
DeleteThese all look good to me. I've had my eye on Seven Days of Us...and because I've enjoyed Armistead Maupin, Logical Family looks tempting, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
Maupin's book is the first I'm reading of his works. I might try his Tales of the City later on.
DeleteA BOLD AND DANGEROUS FAMILY looks good.
ReplyDeleteOoooo...GLASS HOUSES was very good. Love the Inspector and Three Pines. :)
