Weekly Book Recap #98

Waiting for more snow . . . that seems to be the theme for winter 2015.  Even though we've only gotten a few inches with each weekly storm, the ice and fallen snow linger on because of the bone-chilling temperatures.  I do feel a bit guilty about complaining whenever I think about how much more snowier it is in Boston.  Never mind . . .that quickly puts things in perspective. 

Hope you all are having an enjoyable Valentine's Day weekend . . .  I'm looking forward to wrapping it up with the SNL anniversary special.  Once again I'll be recording Downton Abbey for later viewing.

   A Woman of Substance by Barbara Taylor Bradford

Although I read this book many years ago (as well as others in the Emma Harte saga), I couldn't resist downloading it as a Kindle freebie.  This book made BTB one of my all-time favorite authors.  I still remember the characters Emma and Blackie, and their fierce loyalty to one another.

  A Bouquet from M.J. Rose

I'm a fan of this author's Reincarnationist series, and have always wanted to read the series in this bundle.  I couldn't resist the Kindle special deal of 6 novels and a short story collection for $2.99.

Borrowed from the library . . .

                                    

Dear Committee Members by Julie Schumacher; The Colony of Unrequited Dreams by Wayne Johnston
