Good morning and happy Saturday! It looks like both Web and I are stuck at home today. Web was supposed to head to a speech meet, but overnight we had freezing rain and our roads turned to ice. Basically this is just another day in North Dakota.😜

Last night I stayed up to the AM hours finishing Karen White’s upcoming publication and brand new series 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁 (Pub 3/29). I absolutely loved it! Plus white is one of the best atmosphere writers out there, so I felt like I was right in New Orleans the whole time.

Today I’m hoping to finish 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗻. So far it’s been a moving and very unique story set during WWII. Isabel fallen in love with the characters and their journey.

Then, since I love reading thrillers before bed, tonight I’m going to start my arc of 𝗔𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗟𝗶𝗲.

𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗻 (Pub 3/15) - A “remarkable novel of family and love during a time of war,”* Jenny Ashcroft's Under the Golden Sun follows a soul-searching young woman who takes a leap of faith and discovers a place to call home and someone to share her heart.

𝗔𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗟𝗶𝗲 (Pub 4/26) - Lorraine—“Rainy”—lives at the top of Tiger Mountain. Remote, moody, cloistered in pine trees and fog, it’s a sanctuary, a new life. She can hide from the disturbing past she wants to forget.

If she’s allowed to.

When Rainy reluctantly agrees to a girls’ weekend in Vegas, she’s prepared for an exhausting parade of shots and slot machines. But after a wild night, her friend Braithe doesn’t come back to the hotel room.

And then Rainy gets the text message, sent from Braithe’s phone: someone has her. But Rainy is who they really want, and Rainy knows why.

What follows is a twisted, shocking journey on the knife-edge of life and death. If she wants to save Braithe—and herself—the only way is to step back into the past.
