I don't think I will be unpacked by the next holiday (Sept), but maybe by Thanksgiving (Nov). Seriously, I need to work on my book problem. I miss my wall to floor shelves already.

Hopefully, everything will be unpacked by the holidays. And there are still plenty of folks who enjoy reading book reviews on blogs. I hate when one person tries to speak for the masses.

I am intrigued by the third book, because of the scandal aspect. Both Rosemary Beach and Sea Breeze were my version of bon bons.

LOVED IT. But I'm not finding the same with The Field Party series. I've disliked all 3 main male characters so far. :( They're all coming across as jerks who treat girls pretty poorly. But I have After the Game for review so I definitely have to read and review. Fingers crossed I like it better than the other two.Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-40767575897638088572017-08-01T13:31:12.135-04:002017-08-01T13:31:12.135-04:00We moved into our house 16 years ago...and I could...We moved into our house 16 years ago...and I couldn't imagine boxing it all up.

Eventually. :) Um, nobody wants to read book reviews on blogs? *knocks hand against head to clear the confusion* I enjoy reading book reviews. And I enjoy writing them (well, usually LOL). What an odd statement that was on that blog. *still scratching my head* I need to pick up After the Game like yesterday. And getting a review of Under the Lights would be nice, too.

We have started looking for a new house to buy, and I don't want to have to pack up everything and move it. 2 out of 4 dogs hate car rides, so there's that too.

If you like contemporary romances with some depth, low angst, not too much drama, and a great friend group, you would enjoy these. I have always liked the settings - from Lucky Harbor to Sunshine, Idaho, she always creates these places I want to live, filled with people I want to know.

Maybe that is why it was such a struggle. I am so glad for all the feedback about reviews. I felt like I was the only one who still thought they were relevant. Emery Lord certainty knows how to write a great book, now if she would only tie up the endings a little more. There have been a lot of amnesia books lately, but I thought Secret History had its own spin on it, and I really enjoyed it. My issue was the ending. I wanted more with that conclusion, because I was really happy about it.

From my parents to a golf course apartment, then to a beach apartment, then back home while I waited for my home to be built, and then to my home.

I like to read reviews AFTER I read the book, and see what people thought or if I missed something when I read it. Since I have no local reader friends and there are no book clubs around here, that is how I get my book talk fix.
