Reading this for a couple hours this morning before I switch to an audiobook while I do some baking
pickDidn‘t want to put this down. A young writer supports her career with house sitting. One night as she peeks into the lives of others, she witnesses a murder and from there gets embroiled with a handsome artist in trying to solve the case. Loys of romance and excitement.
Last in my #libraryhaul is,yes I know,another Nora Roberts. Lila is a professional house sitter, using the time to finish writing her first novel. Until she witnesses the murder of a young woman in an apartment opposite.Now her life is in danger from a psychotic killer. With the police following a false lead, can she trust the police artist to help her, one who has his own reasons to be involved. #Scareathlon #TeamSlaughter 1point #PointsTotal-417
I just opened my mail and look what arrived! Thanks so much @Theshadedbuffalo for the book💜💜 and @squirrelbrain you are so kind to send me all those lovely stickers! I can‘t wait to use them❤️❤️. I just love Littens!!
so-soI‘ve been 🤦🏻♀️ myself since I‘ve started 📖 the 📚. 🏠 sitter enjoys “spying” on neighbours with her binoculars. Saw a murder. Entangle herself with victim‘s Brother. He have a huge family with than 10 over siblings from his parents remarriages. 3/4 📚 talks about his paintings and new house for the heroine to sit. #romanticsuspense #noraroberts it‘s an 👌 read too.
Hello, lovely Littens!! I'm so sorry I disappeared. Life got crazy, and Litsy just kind of fell off my radar. But I went to my very first library sale today, and when I got home all I wanted to do was share my finds with y'all! I've become the proud owner of 27 (near mint condition) books this week, and I only spent $28. It was a thrill, for sure! 😁
Really loved this book. Need to reread soon.
She loved the city, where the light made her think of sunflowers, and the air seemed to breathe art. Florence spread under a bowl of summer blue, motorbikes zipping and weaving along narrow streets, between wonderful old buildings, around colorful piazzas.
As a person who can get far too attached to fictional people, I approve of this logic.
HYSTERIA ENSUES!
LaNora rarely fails to make me giggle (especially as this is so true). I don't quite understand why I was so resistant to reading her for so long. Page 11 and we already have our Rear Window-esque house-sitting heroine (though not the much put-upon Julie mentioned above) and one excellent cat (Thomas).
pickThis is a book that I keep picking up for re-read after finishing Beverly Jenkins. "The Collector" is a delightful departure from the usual-albeit entertaining and welcoming-froth usually associated with the genre. Disregarding the mandatory chrono predictabilities, these characters are not perfect. The guy is rich and the girl is "free-spirited" but both are forced to grow up both on their relationship and in trying to stay alive.
pickI loved this one so much that I bought a signed copy. It's a wonderful intrigue / romance / suspense. Lila is a professional house sitter and Ashton is a famous artist. My favorite part is the search for lost Faberge eggs. LOVE.
