I enjoyed your review of In The Sea, There Are Crocodiles. It is one I plan to read soon. I also want to read The Legacy and The Oracle of Stamboul. I look forward to hearing what you think of them!
I highly recommend In the Sea There Are Crocodiles.
I love your review on The Good Daughters – I felt the same way, such a fantastic story.
Enjoy your week! I really loved The Oracle of Stamboul and Incognito!
That is good to hear, I am looking forward to reading them.
I enjoyed Wherever You Go very much myself. I see you liked In the Sea There Are Crocodiles so I’ve put it on my tbr list. I love Safe From the Sea so I hope you do too. I live around the Great Lakes and I thought he got the atmosphere perfect. Have a good reading week.
In the Sea There Are Crocodiles was wonderful and one I do hope you decide to read.
I liked Incognito, will be interested in your review!!
Checking out a few others on your list to add to my ever growing list!!
I am rather curious about Incognito myself.
Enjoy your books. I’m traveling again and posting during a thunder storm. Please come see what I’m reading.
I hope you are able to enjoy reading during your travels.
I am just finishing up In The Sea There Are Crocodiles and I am also enjoying it.
I really liked the story Sheila, it touched me quite deeply.
Waiting for the review of America’s Most Wanted Recipes. Have a great week.
It will be up tomorrow. Since I do not typically do any of the coking, it should be interesting for me to give it a go.
Some great looking books there especially In the Sea there are Crocodiles. Have a great week!
Rachel, I am recommending that book to everyone.
Have to admit that none of those are familiar to me but I hope very much you enjoy them all. I love the title of your favourite of the week
I was fortunate and read some fantastic books last week and this week is looking promising.
I read Darkness, My Old Friend and am hoping to have my review up this week…I really liked the book, hope you do, too!
My It’s Monday post can be found here.
My review should also, with luck, be up this week.
You reading amazes me. I really want to read Safe from the Sea too.
Mine? Thanks, I have slowed down so much from this time last year. There are so many books I want to read yet so little time.
I just started listening to Darkness, My Old Friend, so far it has my attention.
I have it right here and will read it when my son returns to University.
Wow you’ve got so many books lined up! I just keep on running out of time to post reviews! Thanks for stopping by on my blog!!!

You are most welcome, I am glad you took time to post.
I loved Safe From the Sea and still recommend it to everyone I can. Hope you thoroughly enjoy it as welll!
It is a re-read for me. I read Safe From the Sea when it first came out and gave it 5/5.
I cannot WAIT to read The Legacy! I hope you enjoy it!!
Thanks for stopping by my Monday
I hope so as well.
Oooh, Darkness, My Old Friend! Lisa Unger is one of my favorite female authors. Have a great week!
I enjoy her books as well and cannot wait to read this one.
Wow! You’ve read some good ones and have some good ones to read next week. Enjoy!
Thank you.
Looking forward to your reviews in the following week.
Since it is Labor Day Monday, I have more time to leisure read. I’m reading BUMPED by Sybilla Nash.
Have a great time reading!
I’ve been wanting to read Creep for a while now!
You have a great line-up this week, I hope you enjoy the books!
I hope you are able to read Creep soon. Have a wonderful week.
I’ve only read one book by Joyce Maynard – Labor Day – and had mixed feelings about it. But The Good Daughters sound like a good one!
I really hope you decide to give The Good Daughters a try.
Once again I find so many books I’ve not heard of …
Hopefully you will decide to give some a try.
Took a peek at your review for Displaced Persons. Sounds really good!
