    I loved Emma in the Night...and I have The Blackbird Season, which I'm eager to read...later. I just got another September release NG book (today): The Best Kind of People.

    There went my nice neat calendar! LOL

    Enjoy your week, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES

      I have The Blackbird Season too.

      I haven't heard of The Best Kind of People, but it sounds good.

      I use an electronic calendar for my books so when I have to make changes it doesn't make a mess. :)

      Thanks for commenting, Laurel.

      ENJOY

    I will most likely therefore by pass Best Intentions. At Wave's End has a really inviting cover, will wait for your review.

      Some people just loved Best Intentions, but it was a 3/5 for me. I learned a few things, but it was just so so for me. The best part was the last 50 pages dealing with a murder trial.

      At Wave's End was really good for me. Loved the characters and the story line.

      Thanks for commenting, Kathryn.

    I had a similar reaction about the first book. My review is scheduled for 8/15. I'm trying to hold off on reading Seven Days of Us for a while.

      Are you referring to BEST INTENTIONS?

      I won't be reading Seven Days of Us for a bit either. It does sound very good, though.

      Thanks for commenting, Mary.

      Yes, I meant Best Intentions. Have a great week!

    I'm looking forward to reading "The Cottingly Secret." I've enjoyed Hazel Gaynor's other books, so I'm sure this one will be a hit for me.

      It is different from her other books, but a very good read.

      I was worried about the fairies, but they didn't detract from the story or my enjoyment of the book.

      Thanks for commenting, Melinda.
