Loved this one too Debbie.
Teresa wrote: "Loved this one too Debbie."I know! You sent me a GoodReads recommendation after you read it, which is why I bumped it up higher on my TBR list. Thanks for the recommendation, Teresa!
I'm delighted Debbie. Nice to know I got it right :)
I just read a short Christmas/Valentine/Easter piece by Linda Wells, Holly in Their Hearts. It is not published and is only about 16 pages long with some lovely illustrations.
Want it? I can send it to you via e-mail.
Sheila wrote: "Want it? I can send it to you via e-mail."Thank you! I'd appreciate it.
Well, it's possible I'll get one more in tomorrow, but more likely not. I'm okay with 266 as my total JAFF books for the year. I read 280 JAFF books last year, and I reviewed only a handful of them. This year, I managed to keep my 2016 resolution to review everything I read! Woot!266. By The Numbers - 4.5 stars

I'm not familiar with this one I'll pop over and read your review.
Yes, Debbie, writing reviews do take away from reading time but we are all so glad you share your ratings and the reviews with us. I made that same promise to myself when I retired - to now write reviews for books I read. Happy New Year to all.
HA! Finished another! I was reading this online and didn't realize it was roughly novella-length rather than full-length. Hadn't expected to finish reading it until the New Year.267. An Unspoken Understanding - 4 stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Happy New Year, all!
Mod
Got a New Year's Eve gig tomorrow, so I don't expect to get much time to read after about noon until New Year's Day.
Mod
And break a leg with your gig.
Debbie, you were our "leader of the pack" for most of the year. But then having a grandson and finding a job to match your talents are so much better events. Thanks for all the reviews and recommendations...and for taking time out to stop and meet me.Best wishes for a Happy New Year to you and everyone else on this site. Sheila
Happy New Year to you, too, Sheila, and to all you other lovely Jane Austen lovers!
