A marvelous debut.

My review will be on my blog on April 26.

      I still have My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She Was Sorry to read.

      Glad I helped you remember.

      Reading faster is a problem for me too. :)

      Oh well...just enjoy. :)

    I like how these covers don't show a face which I think lets a reader's imagination freely imagine.

      You will LOVE Sister Dear. I have about 10 pages to go.

      It got even better in the last 20 pages. Loving it.

      The Secrets of Flight was a really good read.

    Hi Elizabeth,

    Since you shared the opening lines of 'Sister Dear', I have heard nothing but good comments and thoughts about it, so I shall look forward to your own review.

    You have some great books coming up, a couple of which I already seem to have on my 'Want To Read' list, so it looks as though we are tracking one another with our thriller reading!

    'All Is Not Forgotten' and 'What She Knew' both sound great, don't they?

    Thanks for sharing, it looks as though you have some great reading ahead :)

    Yvonne

      It was a great read. Difficult to put down...can't believe someone could be that cruel to her own sister.

      We definitely are tracking similar books.

      ENJOY your reading week, and thanks for stopping, Yvonne.

    On Monday I was reading Seven Days in May, a 1962 political thriller. I finished it and now I want to see the movie. Today I am starting The Sellout by Paul Beatty.
