    What fun! Clouds in My Coffee was a good read, I’ve enjoyed all of The Country Club Murders even though I’m not a big mystery reader. Have participated in this meme for the past few years… it’s time to start making my lists.

    There’s just something “smart” about those Country Club Murders, JoAnn.

    I look forward to reading your list. 🙂

    Super list! I’m hoping to read a book by Raibow Rowell soon. She was at a book festival I went to and her signing line was like that for a new rollercoaster!

    Lol, Lisa. Rowell is deservedly popular.

    Finally made it to your blog to check out your 6 in 6! Thanks for visiting mine.

    Most of the books you list are unknown to me, but I’ve had my eye on All the Light we Cannot See by Anthony Doerr.
