The Memory House by Bette Lee Crosby |4★'s| Oct 3
A sweet introduction to Bette Lee Crosby's magical realism series, Memory House. Widowed at a young age, Ophelia Browne is now 89-years-old and lives alone in the same house she shared with her husband. Tucked away in a rural Virginia community, she tends her garden and blends special teas that awaken her ability to receive other people's "memories" from objects they've owned or touched. The rest of my review is here: Becky's Review

This was a really good book. Interesting characters, a great mystery to solve and a steamy romance between the main characters! My full review can be found here: Becky's Review
I'm running a bit behind from October, but I still plan to finish out my last book. I'll keep updating as I catch up.
