I agree! I can't imagine what it must have been like to be a Black doctor back in the day. Even though the book is fictional, it sounds like such a fascinating story.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Lydia!

It does sound intriguing, doesn't it? I hope I can get to it sometime soon as well. We'll see!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Deanna!

I'm pretty sure I even have an e-ARC of LIBERTIE on my Kindle. I just need to actually read the book. Sometimes when I get a copy of a book, I promptly forget it even exists! LOL.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Leslie!

Yeah, I'm not sure I'm ready to read a WWII book. They're always heavy reads and I have to be in the mood for them. I might need to read something lighter—the MG and cozy mystery—first.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Nicole!

I've been enjoying cozies lately, too. Sometimes you just need a light, fun read to enjoy!

Thanks for popping in, Holliehocks!

Thanks! I hope so, too. It's such a bummer when great-sounding books turn out to be duds. Hopefully, these will all be winners. We'll see.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Lindsey!

Exactly. I usually read the ones I can get e-ARCs for and those my library has in stock. Unless I just really, REALLY can't wait for a new release, I don't usually buy them. Too spendy.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Cindy!

I tried to choose more obscure titles this time around :) Some of them are too obscure, apparently, because I got find them at my local libraries. Bummer.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Jenni!

Me, too! They all definitely have potential. We'll see if they're as good as they sound/look.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Tanya!

Right? It's impossible to keep up with all the new books coming out. I don't even try!

Thanks for popping in, Anne!

It does, doesn't it? It's about to come due at the library, so I need to get it read ASAP!

Thanks for stopping by, NickiMags!

Yeah, that's an obstacle for me as well. I bought way more books than I should have last year, but only a couple of them were new releases. The new ones are too spendy. As much as I want to support authors, I can't shell out $30 for a book!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Sam!

What I've realized reading everyone's lists this week is that I've TOTALLY forgotten about a lot of new releases I planned to read last year. LOL. I'm getting old!

Thanks for dropping in, Literary Feline!

Me too. I'm such a mood reader that I might not read them for awhile or ever. We'll see!

Thanks for stopping by, Denise!

Doesn't it? I'm totally intrigued by that premise!

Thanks for popping in, Bree!

Oh, good! I'm glad it's a fun read. I love the idea of turning a lighthouse into a bakeshop. It's just so fun.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Carla!

Yay! If both you and Carla are raving about it, then I'm definitely going to move it up on the list. I'm SO in the mood for a fun cozy right now :)

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Leah!

I really liked the first book in the series, so I'm excited for the sequel. Hopefully, it's as good as its predecessor.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Greg!

I love a good Gothic novel, so I'm excited for MADAM. I hope it's as chilling as it sounds!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Tammy!

They both sound so good, don't they? I hope we both enjoy them when we get to them.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Cheryl!

It sounds super intriguing, doesn't it? I really need to find a copy so I can read it already!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Wendy!

I'm glad you found some titles to pique your interest! I hope you enjoy the books if you read them.

Thanks for popping in, Mae!

I know, right? Maybe then I'd be able to catch up a little!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Helen!

Yeah, I think it's a pretty good lineup. I started MURDER AT THE BEACON BAKESHOP yesterday. It's fun, as cozies usually are!

Thanks for stopping in, Ronyell!

It is pretty, isn't it? Very striking.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Pam!

I checked at both of my libraries yesterday and it wasn't in at either, so I'll need to put it on hold. Apparently, we're not the only ones who want to read it!

Thanks for popping in, Jennifer!

I think so, too! I need to reserve it at my library since it just sounds fun and entertaining.

Thanks for dropping by, Astilbe!

Smart! I've never actually done a purchase suggestion before. I should try it. My libraries are pretty good about stocking new releases, but I can't always find everything I want to read. I'm definitely going to try this this year.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Kami!

I just picked up THE ICE HOUSE from the library yesterday. I'm excited for it as I think it sounds really intriguing!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Cath!

I'll probably read THE ICE HOUSE next week since I want to finish MURDER AT THE BEACON BAKESHOP this week and then I've got to read ANXIOUS PEOPLE by Backman for book club. THEN, I'll start on THE ICE HOUSE. I'm excited for it!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Jen!

Ha ha. I actually have written headlines for a newspaper before. Back in college, I did a minor in Journalism which included a semester working at the paper. So, I guess I do have a bit of experience with that :)

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Marianne!

Aaaah, I caught you out. LOL

I requested MADAM from my library yesterday, so hopefully, I'll get it soon. Shouldn't be too long.

Thanks for popping in, Neeru!

I think so, too. I'm not sure when I'll actually get around to reading it, but I hope it's sometime soon-ish.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Suzanne!

It's pretty fun. Not the best cozy I've ever read, but it's entertaining. I'm planning to read the next in the series.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Katherine!

It does sound super intriguing, doesn't it? I hope it's as good as it looks!

Thanks for popping by, Destiny!
