Looks like it was a wonderful reading month for you! Glad to see you gave the Jodi Picoult novel 4.75 stars – I hope to get to it soon. And I see you are planning to continue with more Louise Penny – so glad you are enjoying the series! Hope that March is another great reading month for you –

I really enjoyed The Bright Spot though the main character’s best friend drove me crazy. I’m glad to see you enjoyed The Lucy Connelly! I’ve really been enjoying the series so far. Looks like you had great reading in February. Both of your March books are on my TBR (though I’ve already read Speculations in Sin and it didn’t disappoint). Happy March!

I’ve read the first in the Lucy Connelly series and have snagged the 3rd from NG. The 2nd one is so expensive on Kindle but I guess I’ll fold!

Great list! I’ve only read The Bright Spot, but there are a few authors on your list that I always enjoy. Hope you like Speculations in Sin, I certainly did.

So looking forward to Speculations in Sin but I guess by time it publishes and then I get my hands on it it will be a little while.

Lots of high ratings books!
Louise Penny’s series is fabulous. Well, maybe not as much the very last one, #18. which I found so dark. I’m a bit wary for the upcoming #19, the synopsis does sound quite dark as well

When I finally finish all the Nora Roberts books, I know where to come for inspiration. 😀
