Reading plan for this week:
Oh, I want every one of your new books! I’ve always enjoyed Katherine Center, Jessica Strawser, and Sally Hepworth.

Thanks, Kathryn. I’m a few chapters in and finding it to be a novel about family secrets or omissions.

Hi Mary,
I could have sworn that I had read a Sally Hepworth, but I couldn’t find any record of it, so there must be a book sat languishing on a shelf somewhere. Either way, I really like the sound of ‘The Mother’s Promise’
I also have a review copy of ‘The Tuscan Child’ working its way up my TBR pile and I have a lovely pre-prepared Q&A session lined up with author Rhys Bowen, for January 31st, so I am looking forward to that.
Thanks for sharing and Happy Reading 🙂
