I have Wife 22 on my TBR…it’s been there a while (since 2014!), so I must get to it! I am focusing on newer books I’ve bought for the Read the Books You Buy Challenge, but that book is in my TBR Jar.
I also want The Night the Lights Went Out and The Mother’s Promise. Enjoy!
Thanks for sharing, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES

I’ve already learned about Jodi Thomas from you. And Sally Hepworth seems to be coming up a lot too. It’s just so darn hard to keep adding authors, don’t you think?

Hi Mary,
You have some great new books for your shelf this week, any of which I would also have no problem reading, although I have to say that the one which caught my eye was ‘The Mother’s Promise’. I already have ‘The Secrets Of Midwives’, another of Sally’s books, on my reading list.
I hope that you enjoy them all in due course. I see that you enjoyed ‘A Million Little Things’, Susan Mallery is another author I have yet to read.
Have a great week 🙂

I agree, January has passed in the blink of an eye. In past years it seemed to drag. I guess I was busier than usual this year.
