Will you be reviewing Out of the Easy? I loved her other book – it really opened my eyes to things I didn't know, since it was historical fiction.

It was on my TO REQUEST list on Goodreads. Since I'm trying to avoid most tours and galleys I've been actually making those request from my library 😀 It's been grand! It's really a great book. Sad as can be as well.

Maybe? I checked it out from the library so maybe I'll do some quick thoughts on my recent library books. I can tell you right now that I didn't like it 😦 Such a bummer because her first book was amazing!

Your books all look good, Jennifer. I hope you have a great week! I'm reading a book called Cold Storage, Alaska, which apparently is a town – not sure if it's real, I need to Google it. 🙂

I can't believe how many books you read this week! I think it took me a week just to read The Lion Seeker! How was The Last Enchantments? It sounded wonderful. I've read both of your upcoming books. Happy Marriage is really great – you'll enjoy that one!

You have been doing some reading, girl! And some good books too, some of which I still have in my TBR pile. The two upcoming books are by two of my favorite authors. I'll look forward to what you say about those.

The Worst Hard Time is sad, there's no doubt about it. But it's not as depressing as you'd think. It's a great bit of history. Oooh, I have The Goldfinch on my Kindle. I'll get to it one of these days 😉
