Happy to see Sugar Pine Trail was a fav as I have it coming up in my reading this month. A little envious of A Bella Flora Christmas! But… I will read it when it publishes.

I didn’t know there was a Bella Flora Christmas novella until the publicist contacted me. I don’t win many giveaways so this was very exciting for me 🙂

Hi Mary,
Congratulations on the great win and I hope that you choose some good new books with your gift cards 🙂
A couple of bloggers have received ‘The Trust’ and ‘The Confectioner’s Tale’ this week, so it will be interesting to see if you agree on the merits of each book.
‘The Confectioner’s Tale’ is also very easy on the eye.
Enjoy them all and ‘Happy Reading’ this week 🙂
