I remember enjoying Beachcombers…and Family Sins has piqued my curiosity.
I also want The Life She Wants. Robyn Carr is one of my new favorite authors. Thanks for sharing, and enjoy.
And thanks for visiting my blog.

I read Beachcombers some years ago and though it had some flaws, I enjoyed it and it was perfect for summer. Also, I’m glad to see you enjoyed Behind Closed Doors, it’s one I want to get my hands on soon and I heard so many good things about it!

Beachcombers was a sale book so I picked it up – I’ve read and enjoyed a couple of others by Thayer.

I know I shouldn’t but once again I’ve found myself judging your latest arrivals by their covers.
The cover of A Gift of Love really appeals to me and yet reading the GoodReads’ synopsis wasn’t at all what I expected which just goes to show.

You’re in the majority when judging books by covers (me included) 🙂

Hi Mary,
‘You Will Know Me’ has been on the circuit for some time now and reviews have, on the whole, been very positive, so you should enjoy a good reading week with this one.
I also quite like the sound of ‘Family Sins’, although there have been no reviews as yet, so I shall be keeping a lookout for what your own thoughts might be, when you get to read it.
Thanks for sharing 🙂

It was an interesting look at the world of gymnastics – made even more compelling since I read it during the Olympics. I think Family Sins will be published sometime this fall so that’s why there aren’t (m)any reviews out there yet. Have a great week, Yvonne!
