It's a great read! I hope you love it, too. I'm sure you will since you're already a big Harmon fan.

I hope you like A GIRL CALLED SAMSON. It worked relaly well for me. The Rip Through Time series is so fan, isn't it? I also really like the Rockton series. It's a little grittier than my usual, but I enjoy the setting, the characters, the writing, everything.

We did have a nice monsoon storm the other night with lots of rain. That was a nice change!

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

I've now read three of Harmon's books. I loved A GIRL CALLED SAMSON and WHERE THE LOST WANDER. I wasn't as impressed with THE UNKNOWN BELOVED. WHAT THE WIND KNOWS is the one I want to read next. I hope you like her books when you read them!

Sorry/not sorry! Ha ha.

Unfortunately, ENCHANTED HILL didn't quite meet my expectations. It's fine, just not as unique/compelling as I wanted it to be.

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

Right? It was the same way for me. I actually wondered if the team was going to win, even though I KNEW they would/did. LOL. That's great storytelling right there!

The tag was a good way for me to assess where I am with my reading for the year. It was both encouraging and...not, ha ha.

THE ONLY SURVIVORS doesn't seem to be getting very good reviews overall, so it seems I'm not the only disappointed Miranda fan. Bummer.

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

It's overcast and only 99 degrees right now, so that's something! LOL.

I hope we both love HOMECOMING when we get to it.

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

Definitely! And yet, you still see people out walking around during the middle of the day, even jogging sometimes. Crazy.

I hope you enjoy A GIRL CALLED SAMSON. I thought it was excellent.

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

I'm hesitating on it right because it's so long and I've got a few other chunksters I still need to get to before the year ends. I'm a huge Morton fan, so I'm sure I'll love it when I get to it. Glad you enjoyed!

That makes total sense. My reviews are very honest, so hopefully my readers know that they can trust me to give my unfiltered opinions. For TTT, though, I try to keep things positive and fun.

Thanks for coming by and commenting! I don't know who this is, so hopefully I have already visited your TTT :)

She's a great writer. Of the three books I've read by her, I loved two of them and liked the other well enough. Her writing is lovely, isn't it?

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

DAISY DARKER is the only one I've read by her. Even though it's dark, depressing, and disturbing, I still really liked it. I found it to be clever and compelling. I definitely want to try more of her books.

Thanks for popping in, AJ!

The Rip Through Time series is just SO fun. The books always make me smile.

WHERE THE LOST WANDER is my favorite of the books I've read by Harmon, followed closely by A GIRL CALLED SAMSON. I've also read THE UNKNOWN BELOVED, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the others. I hope you enjoy A GIRL CALLED SAMSON.

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

I'm glad you agree on IONA. It definitely exceeded my expectations.

I have not watched the Boys in the Boat documentary. I'll look for it.

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

DAISY DARKER is the first one I've read by her, but it absolutely made me want to read more!

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

Yeah, unfortunately it seems like a lot of Miranda fans have been disappointed in her newest. It happens. I'm not giving up on her since I've enjoyed all of her others.

Casey and Eric are a great couple. They're very supportive of one another as well as loyal and mature. They have fun together, too. I like them a lot.

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

They really are! The Rockton series is a fairly gritty crime series. The Rip Through Time series is lighter (funnier and not as graphic), although it's still a crime series (with a time slip twist). I love them both.

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

The heat is pretty intense here! Usually, we get some monsoon storms to kind of break things up and cool it down a little bit. We've hardly had any so far, although we did get a little thunder and lightning late last night.

It's a fun tag. You should definitely do it when you get a chance.

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

I was actually a little disappointed in ENCHANTED HILL. It's not a bad book, I was just expecting something more original and gripping, you know?

I've only read the first Enola Holmes book, but it was super fun. The books have the same tone as the movies - funny, clever, and charming. I especially enjoyed it on audio and that's how I plan to "read" the rest of the series since I love the narrator so much.

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

Agreed. I always love an underdog story and this one was interesting and well told. It's amazing how suspenseful a story can be, even when you already know the outcome!

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

I haven't heard of the Chakraborty book. I'll have to look it up. I'm also hoping to get to HOMECOMING soon. I might put it off until the new year, though, since it's a chunkster and I still have several other doorstoppers I need to read in 2023. I've only read the first Enola Holmes book, but it was SO fun. It has the same kind of tone/narration as the movies do. If you like them, you'll like the books.

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

It's a fun tag and it made for an easy TTT post :)

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

I've loved all of Morton's books except for THE CLOCKMAKER'S DAUGHTER. My personal favorite is THE SECRET KEEPER. Whichever of hers you choose to read first, I hope you love it!

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

Same! I hadn't heard of IONA IVERSON before someone suggested it for book club and I wasn't very enthused about reading it, but it was great! I enjoyed it a lot.

Thanks for popping in, Deb!

Because it's so quirky and fun! I love it, too.

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

Yeah, I don't blame you. It was, sadly, a very mediocre read. Even our favorite authors don't hit it out of the ballpark every single time! ENCHANTED HILL is actually a good example. It's a fine read, but nothing special, like I was expecting. I'm really excited for HOMECOMING, so hopefully, it exceeds or at least meets my expectations. Armstrong is great, too. You'd probably enjoy her Rip in Time series.

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

IONA IVERSON'S RULES FOR COMMUTING really is a fun read. It's light and heartwarming but also insightful. I hope you enjoy it!

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

It's a beautiful cover, isn't it? And pictures don't do it justice. You should see it in person. Wowzers!

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

It really is a great read. I was a tad bored at points, not gonna lie, but overall, it kept my attention, touched my heart, and had me cheering hard for those determined boys in the boat!

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

Oh, good! I can't wait to read more of her books. She just seems like my kind of author :)

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

I used to force myself to finish every book I started, but I've learned to be a lot more selective. Life's too short to spend time on books I'm not enjoying!

Thanks for popping in!

I hope you enjoy them when/if you get to them!

Thanks for stopping in, Hena!
