I’m so glad you liked Domestic Violets – definitely bumping that up to the TBR now! I’ll be interested to see what you think of Two for Sorrow – it wasn’t one of those that I enjoyed much, unfortunately.
Now I am really looking forward to looking forward to beginning for Two For Sorrow a go.
I haven’t heard of any of your books for this coming week, I hope they are good!
Thanks Helen, thus far they are delightful.
Another great week for you. I don’t know how you get through so many!
Really? My summer reading is usually less than fall, so thank you for the compliment.
I love the cover for Domestic Violets, it’s so simple and lovely! Glad to hear you enjoyed it
I did and it is lovely.
Your list of reading for this week looks wonderful!
Thanks you, thus far it is proving to be exceptional.
Domestic Violets is on my wish list. Your pace is amazing… I look at that list of books you have on for next week and know I could never keep up
Have a great week Jennifer!
Thank you Sheila. Enjoy Domestic Violets.
So so glad to hear you enjoyed Domestic Violets! I’ve got it up for review in a couple of weeks and now I’m definitely more eager to pick it up! Yay!
Hope you have a fabulous reading week and if you get a second stop my to see what I’ve been reading at There’s A Book!
Enjoy Domestic Violets, I look forward to reading your review.
Admiring how many books you completed last week
Thanks, it was a good book week.
Great list of books! Hope you enjoyed all of them, I wish I could get through that many in a week. [:
Erin @ Let’s Evaluate
Thanks Erin, I did enjoy my books last week.
Oooo, I love everything Peter Pan related. I will have to check out Wendy and the lost boys. Hopping on through the It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?
My review will be up on Tuesday.
Domestic Violets is on my wishlist and I’ll have to check out Wendy & the Lost Boys, fan of Peter Pan
Have a great week and happy reading
You cannot go wrong with either choice.
Wow, you’ve had a really good week. I actually only managed two.
Thank you Karen.
Love the title of Domestic Violets but, after reading your review, know it is not the type of book I read. I tend more toward fantasy rather than reality in the books I choose. Happy reading!
I rarely ever read a fantasy book. Thanks for stopping over today.
A couple of your books this week are on my interest list so I will be keeping an eye out for your reviews.
Oh I am pleased to hear that.
Lots of reading AND reviewing…wish I could be as productive LOL
Thank you, I wish I was more productive.
Great reading and all new to me, have to check them all out!
Happy reading!!
I do hope you do, so far they have been very good.
You always have a great variety of books that you are reading. The Convert sounds really interesting!
I am quite intrigued by that one as well.
I’m always impressed by how much you get through, I’ve got a big list this week but that’s because it’s two weeks’ worth!
My lists are always ambitious and some weeks I do not make it through.
Have a good reading week.

Thank you Carol, I hope you do as well.
Wow, great week! Happy reading!
Thank you, I shall try my best.
I don’t really know any of those book so I hope you like them.
I hope you enjoy your books this week. Please stop by my blog if you have a chance!

Thus far they are proving to be fabulous choices.
Wow, that’s some reading there! What Language Is looks fascinating – I love books like that. Have a great week!
I think everyone should have a personal copy of What Language Is.
Great books this week! I haven’t read any of them but they look amazing. Happy reading and thank you for stopping by! : )
Thanks, I am excited to read all of them.
I love Sena Jeter Naslund, but Adam & Eve was a huge disappointment to me. As you said, it lacked focus and just relied too much on coincidence. I am a fantasy fan and it still didn’t work for me. Enjoy your week!
I too typically enjoy her work.
I have a copy of Domestic Violets that I haven’t cracked open yet. Maybe I need to bump it up on the TBR pile based on how much you liked it!
I hope you decide to read Domestic Violets.
Enjoy your upcoming books! I’m posting late this week because I’ve been on a trip to the mountains and out of reach of the internet. Please come see what I’ve read.
I do so miss the mountains. We have not lived near mountains for nine years now.
Great list of books! Enjoy!
Thank you.
