love the geography looking cover.My next five
I need a book with a map on the cover, so I added book #1 to my TBR.
Thanks, Bridget! I'm hoping to start that book early next month, so your selection is timely :) Marla, it's book #2 in a series, so even if you skip #1, you shouldn't be *too lost.
*sneaking in a few minutes of GR time while on vacation, shhh!*
Have a great vacation, Barb!Book #1 also has a map on the cover. It causes me distress to read books out of sequence. :D

for you. I like the nice fall cover.My next five:
Thanks, Bridget. I'm not in a hurry to see the end of summer - although I could do without this ridiculous extreme heat and humidity! - but I'm done with August. It's been a hell of a month, so the cover of that one looks awfully inviting :)
I hear you with the heat. The cooler days have been nice.
I am just now posting that I read my pick by Jennifer in Post #972:Just for Now by Rosalind James - 3/20/24 ♥♥♥♥
Plus I've already read the next in the series, which was just as good. Thanks for the pick.
Bridget, I like the simplicity of
. Not very interesting covers for my next five, but here they are:
I've finally read my pick from Barb in Post #930:Starting Over at Blueberry Creek by Annie Rains - 9/9/24 ♥♥♥♥
Not sure why it took me so long to pick it up, but I'm glad I did because, not only was it was enjoyable, but it also moved me along in a series that I've neglected for a while.

Thank you for choosing this one, Jennifer! I rated it 5 stars. "
Overall, I really liked that one, although I listened to the audio rather than reading a print version, so the footnotes didn't really bother me. To be honest, they were incorporated right into the story, so I never really noticed that they *are footnotes - I just thought they were asides to the reader, a la Benjamin Stevenson in his Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone series.
