message 1: by Bert (new)

Bert Girl in Red sounds interesting. But most of the rest not so much.

Currently I'm on a military/suspense/romance kick.
Susan Stoker, Julie Ann Walker, and Dale Meyer have been my go to authors. Although David Weber, David Woods, and John Ringo are also included for spice and flavor.

It's too bad, you don't see many lists here with a light relaxing vibe.


message 2: by Jennie (new)

Jennie Looking forward to reading Girl in the Rearview Mirror, The Last Resort, and The Perfect Fraud all of which also came out today!


message 3: by Mary (new)

Mary Summer of 69. I was 17. I think I’m near the top of the hold list at the library


message 4: by Vivienne (new)

Vivienne Looking forward to The Stationery Shop! Don't read many new releases as I often wait till they appear in my local library. Recently arrived on the shelves there my current read, The Girl they Left Behind by Roxanne Veletzos, based on her true family story during WW2 in Romania. It's excellent so far!


message 5: by Jacqueline (new)

Jacqueline Mudge-Cooke Really excited to read what the Try Guys wrote but now also want to read The Girl in Red


message 6: by Helen (new)

Helen Hnin I finished the Try Guys book yesterday and honestly? It was worth the wait! (Also sobbing because they're getting the recognition they deserve)


message 7: by Julie (new)

Julie Summer of 69. Plan to pick it up right after I finish Lilac Girls.


message 8: by Kathleen (new)

Kathleen Daly I’m waiting on The Long Call, a new Anne Cleeves, as well as new series. I read a positive review plus I like her other books.
