  1. You had a good month. I agree, January passed in a flash! I've read a few of DeMaio's novels and enjoyed them. That said, I'm a couple behind. I love that they are set at the shore.

  4. Bridge of Scarlet Leaves has such a beautiful cover. That counts with me! :) It may not keep me in a book, but it will draw me to it.

  14. January did pass quickly, I think for me, it was that we had some wonderfully mild days. February may be a bit more wintery for us. Going to keep my eye out for The Bridge of Scarlet Leaves. Looking forward to the Susan Mallery book too.
