Almost done with my free space book
Didn't have much reading time this week - worked during lunch and after hours as well! Hope to finish it this weekend - it is a long weekend for us :-)
Enjoy the long weekend! What is the holiday? Did you change your clocks forward an hour Sunday?
It is human rights day on Monday.No, we don't change our clock like the rest of the world. We actually should - in summer the sun is up at 5am and only down after 9pm, but in winter we have darkness from 6pm till 7am (so we should actually move the time during winter - your summer - times but we don't).
West Coast USA is now 9 hours behind and East Coast 6 hours.
Interesting on both the holiday and time change. The spring forward change is tough the first few days. It is 5:00 am currently for me so I think it is 2:00 pm for you right?
12pm here now. About 7 hours difference betwwn us and Texas

Thanks Sarita! I knew it was 8 hours before the time change. I went the wrong direction. ☺️

The Hearts We Mend by Kathryn Springer
4 Stars
Kathryn Springer's Banister Fall series continues to be delightful with The Hearts we Mend. Her writing style is smooth as glass. I've read each of the novels in the series in around 24 hours.
The Hearts we Mend is Evie's story. After being widowed at age 25 and raising her son as a single mom for 12 years, it's time for her to live for herself. It was rewarding to watch Evie bloom.
The main male character, Jack, is rough at first appearance and a perfect match for Evie.
I look forward to reading more of the Banister Falls series. The series is highly recommended for fans of contemporary romance.

Nice work team! I've requested our "gift" stamp.Dizzy, do you have a book you can post for our free space?
Next category coming up on Wednesday!!!
Team, yes, I am starting today a book that will work for snow and sweater. I'll just have to laugh if one of those categories is called on Wednesday!!

Yes, I'll use
for my free space, should hopefully be done with that soon.
So, what category are you hoping will be called next?I will be happy with Trees/Child/Grass
I'm thinking it will be a spring category since the winter one was called last time.
Just hoping it's not sleigh or wreath!!
Definitely using my free pass when Sleigh is called!
Fruit is our category. What will you be reading for this one? It's one of the tougher ones....
I think I will read
It was free on Kindle
I will likely read A Stillness of Chimes by Meg Moseley.
Or this one if I can get hold of a copy:
I really liked that one Sarita! I'm not sure how much shipping is for you. That book is 99 cents through 3/28 with Christian Book Distriburors.

Staci wrote: "I really liked that one Sarita! I'm not sure how much shipping is for you. That book is 99 cents through 3/28 with Christian Book Distriburors."Shipping to South Africa is almost $14 - will rather buy on Amazon Kindle then
I'll be reading
for the Fruit category. :)
Glad you found one Dizzy!Sarita, wow! $14 for shipping makes it not worth it.
Another one I might read is Beneath the Blackberry Moon by April Gardner. It is $2.99 for Kindle. Ironically, I just got it last night a few hours before the category was called. Not sure if I'll go with that or Stillness of Chimes.
Correction..Beneath a Blackberry Moon is the series. The title of the book is The Red Feather so it doesn't qualify.

We now have our stamp for "gift". It's a pretty flower. :-)
Raspberry Kisses is currently free for Kindle.

Review:
I love the cover and title of this novel. The title does have a meaning - love that!
The prelude which was set when Laura, Sean, Cassie and Tig were tweens fully pulled me into the novel .
I wasn't as engaged in the current day story initially. About 200 pages into the novel, I got pulled into Laura's world and really enjoyed the second half of the novel. The ending was spectacular.
I recommend A Stillness of Chimes for fans of Katie Ganshert.

Happy reading all!
JUST finished my free space book!Theme: free space
Book read: The Girl With No Past
Rating: 5 stars
Review: This book was excellent - started out slightly slow but about a third of the way in it picked up and i couldnt put it down! Its about a woman who has been through a tragedy in her past, and now she is being tormented by someone who knows what happened. She never knows who to trust, and the ending had a bunch of twists! Loved this!
Oe yeah! I hope it is a good category this week!
Our new category is fire/fireplace. What will you read team?
Free space stamp requested!Sarita, glad you found your book for the latest category.
I've got several owned options that work for this one:
Drawing fire! That looks good.But I heard good things about Denise Hunter!
Yes, have that book in my TBR for a while now. so glad to have a reason to read it!
