Oh, thank for reminding me about this one! I'd put it in my TBR pile but I already had 10 books with K.U. so I couldn't get it then. There's room now, and I see lots of high ratings (with reservations) so time to grab it!And well done on being up to #47!
I just read 48 and ended up at the same rating as you but I wonder, in retrospect, if I was a bit generous because I loved the premises rather than the actual story...
Yes, the premise was a good one but definitely needed some development in my opinion.
Thought I had your 49 on my TBR so I read your review but it was Deception I had on my list... Sounded like a lovely ending though.
Who is Deception written by? So many books came up when I typed that title in.
As Debbie says, it is also by Ola Wegner but it has not tempted me to read it yet...
I liked it a lot when I first read it, but there's been a much better crop of JAFF that's emerged since then. Because it didn't have a lot of competition (at least none I was aware of), I remember it very clearly. I probably would've given it 5 stars back in 2012, but if I were to re-read it today, I might have trouble even giving it 4 stars!
You just keep banging them out, Sheila! Excellent!
There you go again. Bang! Bang! Bang! Three more!
Congrats on your fantastic reading progress, Sheila! 🎈👏
Gosh Sheila you're flying! I'm not very active on GR at the moment. As well as my usual driving duties, I'm in and out to the hospital as my mother has been a patient for the last two and a half weeks. Things haven't been good but she's a little better today. She has heart failure and she's eighty seven. So it's one day at a time. I'll be back full tilt as soon as I can. I miss my daily connection here.
Hey, Teresa! We miss you too. Sorry to hear your mom's been ill. At that age, "one day at a time" is right. Mine was 95 when she died. Fortunately for me, my brother and his wife lived about a mile from her Independent Living Facility, so they did the heavy lifting when she had doctor's appointments or got hospitalized. Hard to watch a loved one slowly decline. My prayers are with you.
What a difficult time you’re going through, Teresa! So hard to watch a loved one in that situation, when you can’t “fix” it. My thoughts are with you.
Thanks so much Debbie. The like of that generation will never be seen again. Nearly all of my mother's family were in their late eighties when they went. Her brother died two years ago and he was one hundred and in very reasonable health. She has one sister left and she's ninety four. The baby of the family is still going strong too at eighty four :-) Just the three of them left out of eleven.
Thanks to you to Abigail. I know I'll always find comfort here.

Thank you Sheila. I have so many people on MY list I just say 'list' now when I'm saying my prayers! Hope you're keeping well yourself.
Yes, besides my own relatives (my brother has the same brain cancer as McCain/Beau Biden) I have copied the church's list onto my saved Prayer list. I don't have them all memorized but I do take a moment to pause and think about each as I say their name so it doesn't become a rote exercise.
Sheila, I’m so sorry about your brother! What a terrible thing. I feel for your pain and his.
I am so sorry... somehow I did not see this thread until today. I did not mean to neglect you guys. I'll be remembering you in my prayers also.
Sorry about your brother's illness, Sheila. Even though I'm 63 and the youngest in my family (by a lot), all my brothers continue to be in good health. We're not particularly close, but I know it would hit me hard if any of them had serious health issues. I'll keep yours in my prayers.
Us also Debbie. I'm 55 and the eldest and I have three brothers. The first three of us are very close in age. So far we've all had very good health.Sheila I'm keeping your brother in my prayers now along with yourself.
Thank you for your prayers. They have no children so I know this is hitting his wife even harder as there is no one there in the house as she has to take care of him.
Sheila, Teresa, sending you both as many virtual hugs as you can tolerate 💐💐💐💖💖💖
Thank you. Much appreciating this community's love and caring.

Yep. That's a good one, Sheila!
Teresa,Sheila-so sorry to hear that loved family members are so ill. Have been absent here for a while so I'm only sending you my very best wishes to you both now.
Thanks Mary. Hope all is well with you.
