The mystery novel I'm reading right now isn't really floating my boat, but this line did jump out at me:
by Morag Joss in Funeral Music (Sara Selkirk Mysteries)
. Maybe this grabbed me because I've been able to spend some time with my sister who's visiting from out of town. What I love most about getting together with her is that we always pick up just as we were. (And yes, siblings count as "old friends".) I have childhood friendships that evoke the same feeling. Sharing parts of the same story is one building block for relationships, I think.
Recently Finished
Can you believe I didn't finish a book this week? Because I didn't finish a single title.
(I know, I don't believe it either!)
Recently Added
17 Carnations: The Royals, the Nazis, and the Biggest Cover-Up in HistoryThis new release particularly caught my eye because I finished Deborah Cadbury's Princes at War: The Bitter Battle Inside Britains Royal Family in the Darkest Days of WWII
earlier in 2015.
Villa America: A Novelby Liza Klaussmann. Naomi Wood's 2014 novel Mrs. Hemingway
piqued my interest in this cast of characters.
The Salt God's Daughter My library site recommended this one to me so I ordered it but now I'm not sure. The cover is gorgeous but a few reviews I've seen online now suggest it's not my cup of tea. Hmm...
Current Read Aloud
Still finishing up Ella of All-of-a-Kind Family
Current Book to Review
Haven't chosen one yet. My husband is urging me to read Russell Moore's Onward: Engaging the Culture without Losing the Gospel
, so I may do that instead of ordering a new book to review.
Current Kindle Deals
Boundaries with Kids: When to Say Yes, How to Say Noby Dr. Henry Cloud & Dr. John Townsend is one of the parenting books I recommend most often. Highly recommended and a great bargain at $2.99.
Boundaries with Teens: When to Say Yes, How to Say NoThis is the same price ($2.99). I haven't actually read this one but I feel confident in recommending it based on the strength of the Boundaries with Kids book.
Mossad: The Greatest Missions of the Israeli Secret ServiceI'll admit my taste is kind of strange sometimes but this one looks fascinating. $1.99 right now...
Savor: Living Abundantly Where You Are, As You Are I reviewed this one in May. My only regret is that the Kindle edition won't be a nice to hold in your hand as the original work, which was a lovely hardcover. Otherwise, the $1.99 is a great bargain.
The Monogram Murders: The New Hercule Poirot Mystery (Hercule Poirot series Book 42)by Sophie Hannah. I read this one last October. (See my Goodreads review here.) I didn't LOVE it, but I gave it three stars (out of five), and I think $1.99 is a good price if you like Poirot.
So, what are you reading now?
