  1. Your reading list for this week looks nice, Lindsey. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Natasha Solomons' new book. I have her first book 'Mr.Rosenblum's List' in my bookshelf waiting to be read. Hope your new week is wonderful, stress free and less hectic. Happy reading!

    1. Thanks Vishy! I haven't read Mr. Rosenblum's List yet, but I really loved her novel The House at Tyneford.

  2. I read the Goodreads blurb for When We Were On Fire and this is something I would enjoy reading. I have read several books just this year on religious memoirs from different faiths. I hope to learn more about other people's spiritual journeys. Thanks for sharing all your titles, and hope this week is more calming for you.

    1. I really enjoy the author's blog. When I saw she was sending out review copies, I had to get my hands on one! I find spiritual memoirs very interesting too and this one is great.

    1. It was a great read. The author is just a few years older than I am, so I really related to a lot of the things she writes about.

  6. I've had The Spy Who Loved on my TBR list for awhile, so I'll be curious to read your thoughts on it. I've also added Thanksgiving and The Gallery of Vanished Husbands to my list. Those look really good! Happy Monday!

    1. Hooray! I'm always glad to add to people's TBR lists. I liked The Spy Who Loved, but I think there is some inherent difficulty in writing a book about a spy!
