- No One Knows by J.T. Ellison
- All of Us & Everything by Bridget Asher
- Who Do You Love by Jennifer Weiner
- I went to one book signing this month…I went to see Beatriz Williams on tour for her latest book, A CERTAIN AGE…oh how I love getting to see her! I think in the last year, I have seen her 5 times and never tire of listening to her talk about her books…what passion she has for her writing and characters and stories! This wasn’t a book talk as much as it was a gathering the night before the release of the book at an Indie Bookstore (one of the cutest ones I’ve been in, by the way! – I just love Diane’s Books in Greenwich, CT!!!) Such a fun night 🙂

*Kathyrn over at The Book Date has created a Month in Review meme
for those who put together these monthly posts. From now on, I’ll be
linking my post up each month…Thanks Kathryn for putting this meme
together!!!
Great month Kristin. I am so envious of your Beatriz Williams meet up! Sounds awesome. I am loving The Forgotten Room – so clever, can't pick who wrote what, although going by time periods they write in I have made my guesses. I don't really know their writing styles enough. And haven't read Willig yet although have one of hers on my Kindle. So my pick is Willig, Williams, White – oh just seen their surnames all start with W!!
Have a great July.
I loved Ink and Bone…and hope to get to The Island House and Cavendon Hall sometime soon…both are on Pippa, waiting.
Enjoy July!
