I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

pickLiked but enjoyed Harold Frye‘s journey better. Now I‘ve started reading Maureen‘s perspective.
pickI loved this book. My favorite of the trilogy. A book about death that is bursting with life. A delight. Wonderful on audio. 4.5 🌟
so-soI‘m not sure what I expected from this companion novel to THE UNLIKELY PILGRIMAGE OF HAROLD FRY- but this fell a little short for me. Maybe because the end is so inevitable? Or that despite Joyce‘s best attempts, this is just a sad, sad story about unrequited love and regrets all set against the backdrop of hospice. I just never looked forward to picking it up despite the characters and great performance…
so-soThis was…weird. Interesting story, but dragged on in certain places and not enough detail in others. I think it tried to do too much.
pickThis was a good romp. Duke falls in love with secretary who‘s been assigned to find him a bride! ❤️#romantsy #romance #historical
pickA quiet, slow-burn (eight years in the making) romance between a duke and his secretary. Not as angsty as some of Ms. Heath's books but still has some touching moments. I liked the respect accorded Pettypeace by the duke and his cohorts the Chessmen. I also really liked the way the author doled out the duke's growing feelings for Penelope. The main conflict was an intriguing twist I haven't read before. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pan2 ⭐ I originally read this book over 2 years ago. At first I loved it. I thought it was so cute. Then I read someone else‘s review pointing out that it was stalking and grooming. And now upon a second read, they are correct. This reads like the song Stan from Eminem. The Ox is writing to his favorite celebrity Gazelle. He rights constantly, no matter how many times Gazelle asks him to stop. Yep, this is a playbook of a stalker or a groomer
