When Someone You Love Is Depressed -- but mostly because it's not meant to be a page-turner, you know? Also, it's a bit dated.

I agree, I love reading other peoples posts knowing they are reading all night just like me!!! It really is like a book geek community haha congrats on making it to the end!!!
ReplyDeleteYay! We made it to the end! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out the historical mysteries you recommended. Congratulations on the reading you did! It sounds like a good variety.
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm almost sad it's over, eh?
ReplyDeleteShelley, I've been enjoying Charles Todd's (it's actually a mother/son writing team) writing -- they are set in England immediately after WWI. There is the Ian Rutledge series as well as a series with a female protagonist -- I can't remember her name right now. There are less titles in the latter, as it's a more recent series.
