I have soooo many books that fit this color scheme!! I'll start with this one and go from there:

I added 2 more books to message 5. One was a Christmas gift and the other was an Amazon Prime Free book. Amazon is doing 2 free books in January. The other one I chose was a Dean Koonz book.

I agree, really liked that cover.

The Ocean House is a real hotel. Rates begin at $455 to $7,100 per night. I'm sure that I won't be staying there, but the photos look lovely.
