Searching for Mr Tilney by Jane Odiwe
Is November's Novel. (Yes that's a nod to Northanger Abbey.) I'm excited because I adore Henry Tilney.
Read at your own pace. Discussion Post will be up November 30th. And as always let me know if you want to be tagged or removed from tag. #12monthsofjane

so-soAnother so-so. I‘m not having outstanding audio listens lately. 😐 The MC in this one is difficult to like, though she has her reasons, and it felt like there were one too many threads in the storyline.
Saturday morning coffee and a book. Just starting chapter 3 & I am already hooked!
My November #bookspin and #doublespin picks! So excited…The Thorn Birds is one of the 12 in ‘24 picks that I have to finish by the end of the year!
