This week’s selection is a fun one, a bit of a game. We are to choose 10 books from our shelf at random and if we’ve read it say what we thought about it. If we haven’t read it we are to decide if we still want to read it.
I have read these

I read this one. I love her historicals. They are very well researched. The book is mesmerizing, emotional and uplifting.

I skimmed this one. I did not like it. Too many characters and I just didn’t make a connection with the book.

I don’t read many historical mysteries but this one was very intriguing.

Part of the Hope Harbor series. Very charming book. I’ve read a lot in this series and I would like to read the ones I haven’t gotten to yet that I own.

I gave this one a 2-star rating. Because of the low rating I didn’t review this one on my blog. I try to keep my reviews on here positive and encouraging. I found this book lacking.
Have not read these

When Aunt Sarah begins to tell Lorna stories based on the fabric in a treasured crazy quilt, Lorna has no idea she is hearing true stories—the story of Aunt Sarah’s life.
I’ve always enjoyed this authors books. This one sounds like it has promise.

I went through a period where I bought a ton of these Love Inspired. I have hundreds of them.

I don’t remember buying this book or even know where it’s at. I no longer want to read it.

I enjoy novella collections and have read and enjoyed books from all of these authors. I anticipate this will be an enjoyable book.

I have read a few books by this author they are witty and entertaining. I look forward to this one.
Have you read any of the ones I haven’t? Any recommendations by any of these authors?
Have a most lovely day. Thanks for stopping in.

I think I saw An Amish Hope on someone else’s list recently? Not this week, but maybe last?

I also don’t share reviews of less than 3-stars on my blog. I have Sea Rose Lane on my TBR cart to read soon, it is the last of the Hope Harbor series that I have not read. Do you keep books you have read even if you haven’t enjoyed them?

I hope you get to read it soon, it’s an automatic read whenever I see a book in this series. I don’t keep books I read whether I like them or not. I get given so many books from being on street teams and doing book launches that I can’t keep them all.

Oh yes, me too. Whenever I see a picture of someone’s bookshelf, I always try to read the book titles on it 🙂

I read and loved The Oysterville Sewing Cirlce. It is the book of hers that cemented her in my auto-read list. A very interesting group of books, Deanne.

What did it for me was Salt and Sugar, what an excellent book that was. She has so many out. I hope to get to more of them soon. Thanks for the heads up on the book.
