    1. Thanks, Perfectly Tolerable! Major Fireworks is part of a series, and I have read and enjoyed the first two books, so definitely looking forward to the third.

    1. Thanks, Laurie! A lot of these are indie, so that's not surprising.

  5. I read The Leavenworth Case several years ago and loved it! One of my favorite mysteries!
    I am currently reading Spark of the Revolution and really enjoying it, so I'd love to get to Secrets before summer's end. Also hoping to read The Writing Desk by Rachel Hauck, The Lady and the Highwayman by Sarah M. Eden, The Museum of Ordinary People by Mike Gayle, and reread Persuasion.
    Enjoy your summer TBR!

    1. Becky, that's awesome! The Leavenworth Case is next up on my TBR pile, as soon as I finish my current read.

      How are you liking Spark of the Revolution? I thought it was excellent!

      And mmmm, Persuasion. My favorite Austen! Enjoy :-)

  6. I can't wait to read Serve, Mend, Love, too!! I'm always in a Much Ado About Nothing mood but this year has been even more dedicated to it. XD
