Hello, dear friends. It is a cold, slushy, ugly day here on the South Shore of Massachusetts. The Mister and I just finished a bowl of his Weight Watcher Turkey Chili and it hit the spot. Did everyone remember to change their clocks? Thank goodness for Alexa - she's right on top of things at our household. I have a feeling that you can figure out what today's post is about. Amazon Spoiler alert: I've always had a thing for lighthouses. Throw in interesting storylines and likable, strong women characters and that is the perfect recipe for a fabulous read. This is my pick for next month's Book Club that I'm hosting. Amazon This is the first book that I have read by Jane Healey and it won't be my last. The story centers around three women who volunteer as Clubmobile Girls, a division of the Red Cross. I enjoyed each woman's story as well as the strong friendships and romantic storylines. Amazon I just started reading this one. I've been waiting for it to be released. It takes place at the Hotel Coronado. I'm a big fan of Di Maio's writing. Amazon I'm almost halfway through with listening to this one. Marius Gabriel is one of my favorite authors. Amazon Bookstagrammers have gone gaga over this novel. It takes place in Ireland in a bar in a grand hotel. There you find an eighty-four-year-old gentleman who reminisces about his life and makes five toasts to the people who meant the most to him. Amazon Years ago, I read Lolly Winston's first novel, Good Grief, which I loved. I have high hopes for this novel which centers around a recent widower who takes a new job as a pianist at Nordstrom. Amazon I think I just might leave this book on my bedside table to keep the Mister in line. Amazon I have found from personal experience that whenever the word "perfect" is used in the title describing someone, they never are. Amazon This is a historical novel if you haven't guessed from the cover. It follows a young couple that has been separated due to circumstances leading up to WWII. Amazon I think that Peter Swanson is one of the best writers of thrillers around today. This chilling novel tells the story of a woman with past psychological problems who thinks that her neighbor is out to murder her. I'm saving this one for my walk. Amazon This historical novel gives a fictionalized view of Consuelo Vanderbilt's life. She also happens to be an ancient ancestor of Anderson Cooper's. Amazon There are great reviews on this multilayered romantic story taking place in WWI. Amazon If you are looking for something light, this is a romantic story of a confirmed bachelor and an irresistible woman. It sounds like the Mister and me. At least the irresistible woman part. Amazon A well-respected, handsome therapist is murdered. Three vulnerable women who are his patients are suspects. Sounds like another perfect listen for my walks. Amazon This is a story of a family where the inheritance at stake is a recipe. Amazon My girls loved her first book. There's a good chance they will find a copy of this one in their Easter baskets. March 31st will be a busy night in Emptynesterville. All three of these shows premiere that night. Trailer I can't help but smile while I watch this heartwarming show. Trailer This one looks like a show that both the Mister and I will both enjoy. Trailer I love this show so much. I'm so sad that it will be their final season. Trailer I hope that this one comes to a theater near me. Trailer I'm sure the Mister will definitely want to see this one. Trailer This one looks great, too. ***** Over the weekend, I stopped into my favorite neighborhood bookstore and purchased these books for a giveaway.
