It was a deluge at the mailbox this week! I received two books to review: Hidden Wives by Claire Avery for a TLC Book Tour, which is about life in a polygamous community, and Life Without Summer by Lynne Griffin, an unsolicited novel from St. Martin's Press is the story of major life events in the lives of two women, a therapist and her client.
From the Goodreads book swap four novels arrived: The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella, The Actor and the Housewife by Shannon Hale, Life a la Mode by Linda Lenhoff, and The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connolly. I am holding on to some of these for my vacation at the end of July.

Have a great week!
I wish I was as caught up as you on review writing. That was my big plan for the weekend but didn't quite happen that way.
ReplyDeleteYour books look good! Enjoy them!
You did get some good books! I love to read about polygamy, for some odd reason, so Hidden Wives sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteYou are a prolific reader!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Elizabeth, I have missed my visits to you. You so remind me of my mother the way you pump out those books. I used to read a lot but now I blog. There must be a way I can do both. Smile. Your list of books are impressive. Good for you. Are you still working or is school out for summer?
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day.
Hugs, Jeanne
You've got some great titles on your list.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winner of Leaving Unknown!
I'll be interested to see what you think of The Postmistress and Undertow. Have a great week and happy reading.
