October TBR Challenge – Paranormal or Romantic Suspense
September TBR Challenge – Kickin’ It Old School
This month’s TBR Challenge prompt invites us to go into the Wayback Machine, or at least the Kinda Wayback Machine. Tasked with reading something more than ten years old, we both dug into our book stacks. Caz read a classic category novel by Mary Burchell, while Lynn went with a somewhat newer (though not quite new) historical from Cara Elliott. […]
August TBR Challenge – Random Pick
July TBR Challenge – Contemporary Romance
June TBR Challenge – Historical Romance
I have to admit that I loved being prompted to read a historical this month. Historicals and gothics were my first loves, but my reading habits have evolved over time, and I don’t read as many as I used to.

There’s no restriction on genre or time period; we just had to choose a book by an author who is represented more than once in the TBR stack. […]

These are gritty, complex stories that are practically impossible to put down once started; the mysteries are twisty and really well-conceived but […]

However, this was a good book year for me in current releases as well. One book I had long been anticipating turned out to be a DNF bust, but I found plenty of other treasures. I’ve listed my favorite first, but otherwise my picks are in no particular order.
I’d been looking forward to this book for over a year, and it was probably my favorite 2018 read. It’s romantic, and there is so much meat to the story that I find myself thinking about it months after having read it. This tale of a French prisoner of war assigned to board with a family in New York can […]
