Number One Chinese Restaurant looks like a lot of fun, although I always have a hard time with contemporary fiction - but anything with foods makes me happy. Let Me Lie sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about the restaurant family and whether or not it's easy to break out of the cycle.
DeleteOh Let Me Lie sounds like it would be a great book. Great line up. Enjoy your week or reading!

Let me Lie is on my wishlist. My post this week.
ReplyDeleteLet Me lie sounds like it would be a good read and I like the cover. Hoping the weather gets better. It's been crazy here as well with the hot then cold and rain.
ReplyDeleteNumber One chinese restaurant looks great, I saw that one somewhere a while back and love the sound of it. Looking forward to that one. :)
ReplyDeleteLet Me Lie does sound worthwhile, and also Number One Chinese Restaurant (and not just because we've been celebrating Chinese New Year at delicious Chinese restaurants). Secrets We Kept sounds inviting as well.
ReplyDeleteI hope you've had a good week, Harvee. We're actually having some surprisingly wintry weather here, including rain!
