Do you want me to read for any specific letter at the moment? I have a no. of books going on simultaneously (I'm kinda weird that way), so I can play catch-up on any letter.
If not, I'm planning to finish Only Time Will Tell this week, so that should work for A, M or D

Thoughts? ☺"
I quite enjoyed it. Right from the beginning I had a sinister feeling which only kept on growing as the story progressed. Good thing I didn't read the blurb before I began reading so the turning of the pages only kept on growing my sense of foreboding. And the end...loved it.
