I’m a bit over Outlander now. The last season sort of lost me. I am hanging in there still but I think it’s a good thing they are wrapping it up now.

Thanks for reading Hena! I haven’t watched Outlander.

The only book from this list that is on my TBR is The Block Party, so I need to get to it. Maybe I should forget about backlist books and just try to keep up with new publications. Have a great weekend, Jodie.

Thank you Carla! I hope your weekend was a great one too.

Love Me Do is on my TBR. I’m loving Outlander, of course that makes sense since I went on a 5 day Outlander Tour in Scotland this month! I’ve tried to go comment on some of your posts I missed while gone, but comments were already closed on them sadly. Oh well, hope you had a good week!

Thanks Lisa. Yes my comments close after 14 days.
