The Lantern is brilliant and To the Moon and Back is great fun.
I have added The Last Brother to my to be read list. Sounds like a great book. Have a good week!
How wonderful! I do so hope enjoy The Last Brother as much as I did.
Hey I loved your blog layout, it’s so pretty and lilac is my favorite color.

Thank you and welcome to Rundpinne.
All your books reviewed last week look so good! I wish I could read as many as you!
They were quite good last week.
Wow, you are really great at getting your reads read and reviewed! I read about a book a day, but I only get about one reviewed every week or two.
I cannot pick up another book before I write a review.
Another wonderful week for you. I enjoyed your review of To The Moon and Back. Have a great week and happy reading
Thanks you. My weekend reward was Mansell’s To the Moon and Back.
Wow, you read a lot of books! Great reviews also! New follower!

Thanks Tia and welcome to Rundpinne. Happy reading.
I have The Good Daughters among my personal read and have not gotten to that yet. Might not til December when I go on a ‘my personal reads’ challenge.
currently reading: http://sidnebkclubreviewz.blogspot.com
Your personal reads challenge sounds delightful.
Enjoy your books. Even with homework, I did manage to meet last week’s reading goals. Please come see what I finished and what I’m reading now.
I do not know how you do it. Have a great week.
Just hopping through
Here’s my “Monday” post.
Thank you for stopping y and saying hello. Have a wonderful week reading.
Glad you liked The Good Daughters as I have it on my stacks. A few intriguiing titles on your upcoming reads. Have a great week.
Thank you. I hope you enjoy The Good Daughters as much as I did.
You had some great books this past week… the Lantern has really caught my eye!
Sheila do add The Lantern to your list to read.
Oh wow! That’s a great list! Creep by Jennifer Hillier looks good! I can’t wait to see your thoughts on it!
I have been looking forward to reading Creep for quite some time and hope to get to it this week.
You always amaze me! I am happy to read 4 books a week and I always add books from your list each week. I will never catch up, lol

I did have a good week, tis week I may fair as well.
I love starting my week off with a reading post as well. It sets a nice tone for the rest of the week.
I agree.
Hey Jen, thank you for stopping by. You are a reading/reviewing machine. Props.
Thanks Lacey. Happy reading.
Remember Me sounds interesting and the cover is so cute. Great books!
I am hoping it will be a wonderful week of reading.
You had quite a few interesting books on your list this week. I especially am interested in reading Picking Bones from Ash. Have a good week!
Thanks Julie! Picking Bones From Ash was wonderful.
You are a reading machine! I’m hoping to be able to pick up The Lantern and I have Little Black Dress. It has been calling to me so maybe it will get some attention in September.
Thanks for stopping by my first It’s Monday what are you reading post.
I am glad you have joined in on the It’s Monday meme. The Lantern is fantastic.
You had a great week yourself! Putting away the books right and left.
thanks for stopping by!
Thank you Bev, it was a fairly good week.
Wow, it’s a wonder you have time left over for food and sleep! Lovely to see some Jill Mansell in there – perfect escapism
I absolutely adore Jill Mansell’s books.
I’ve been dying to read Little Black Dress… and now after reading your review I want to read it even more! I’m so jealous of all the books you get to read!! I usually only read one to two books a week, though I wish it was MUCH more. My pesky job always gets in the way of my reading… the nerve!
Thanks for stopping by earlier!! Happy reading this week!
Enjoy Little Black Dress and thank you for stopping by.
I’ve heard great things about the Good Daughters! Enjoy!
I definitely enjoyed The Good Daughters.
I remember seeing a review of Creep recently and it sounded pretty good. Enjoy! Thanks for stoppin’ by. :0)
I am really looking forward to reading it.
Just stumbled upon your blog after looking up reviews for Rules of Civility (which I truly enjoyed). I love what you do here and can’t wait to start reading some of your picks. I had just downloaded an audiobook, Girl in Translation but may start The Lantern based on your review.
Do you review books just for this site or do you work for magazines or some other entity? Just curious.
Thank you. I really enjoyed both Girl in Translation and The Lantern.
