Great Posts, Erin.

I am a fan of Jojo Moyes , not sure if I read "Me Before You" but will see.

Joy Fielding author of "Someone is Watching and "Now You See Her " She is worthy of your extensive list.

I know she’s one of your faves, Mama! I’m not sure if Me Before You is your speed, but be sure to stay hydrated. Knowing you, you’ll cry yourself dry.

Hi Erin, I’m enjoying your posts from Southern Ontario. Your book recommendations align with my favourite reads. J. Cortney Sullivan and Amor Towles are incredible. Did you read “A Gentleman in Moscow”? Also one that you might love is Dinner with Edward by Isabel Vincent, so intriguing! Happy long weekend!

You know what? Amor Towels is one of my top authors, but sadly, AGIM just didn’t do it for me. Maybe I was in a strange place while reading, not sure what happened there. I’m adding Dinner with Edward to my list! Thanks for the recco!

Haha! Thanks, Jolene. I read VOTD in high school, due to the joys of neglectful parenting, and have loved it ever since.

This is my favourite of all your posts … not sure why !!! Might be the Cosmo recipe or perhaps the gardening, all said it was delightfully entertaining to read.

My hold out state is Mississippi … not sure why on this one either. I will speak to my friends in North Dakota if you tell yours in Mississippi, deal?

Thanks, Sheryl. I had some fun writing this one. Funny how mood always comes through. I don’t know anyone is Mississippi, but I’ll start scouting around.

I have read Still Life by Sarah Winman several times and might read it again this summer.
