  1. You do have a great selection of books here, Carol. And it’s good to say Connelly and Penny here. Both are extremely talented. Plenty of new voices for me to try, too. Here’s hoping 2017 will bring a bumper crop of good reads for you.

  2. Enjoyed Missing Presumed, can’t wait for the next one in this new series. Just beginning Under the Harrow. And our library is finally getting copies of The Dry……it’s taken forever for this book to release in Canada.
    Happy reading, eating, drinking & blogging in 2017!

    • Thanks Anne- have been doing a bit of reading, I must now do the reviewing 😀 Missing Presumed was so good, Under the Harrow – I hope you enjoy- a different pace here and The Dry – loved it I will be interested to hear what you think of it. Happy New Year to you too.
