I didn’t know so many of these upcoming movies and shows are book based.

That was my thoughts too Hena and one of the reasons I do this weekly post!

Happy Monday, Jodie. I can’t believe that I don’t have any of those books on my TBR. This has to be a first.

😂. I didn’t either Carla!
Karalee
My Rogue to Ruin looks like a fun romance to read! Also, I’m intrigued by A Haunting in Venice because I loved Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile!

I hope that you enjoy all of these books Karalee! Thanks for reading.

My Rogue to Ruin looks really good! Thanks for sharing these! I’m also excited for the movie Love at First Sight. I started the Daryl Dixon show and the first episode was good, the second was so-so for me.
