I'm taking a bit of a break from my usual Friday Linkups to try something a little different. Michelle over at Because Reading is Better Than Real Life used to do a Five on Fridays that I always enjoyed and I've seen a few other variations on the theme. As well I'm in a list making kind of mood so I thought I'd give start making random five lists. Sometimes they'll be bookish other weeks not so much. Since this is the first Friday in April I'm looking at 5 books I'd like to read in April. This month's theme is gardening - especially flowers and I pulled 5 books from my TBR that fit in that category.
1. The Last Camellia by Sarah Jio - I love camellias and had just finished a novel by Sarah Jio that I loved when I picked this one up. It looks gorgeous.
2. Flowerbed of State by Dorothy St. James - Not only is the main character a gardener but she's a gardener at the White House. I used to read a series that focused on the chef at the White House so this seems fun too!
3. No Farm, No Foul by Peg Cochran - This takes place on a farm so the focus is probably more food than flowers but the main character is a blogger and there are gardening tips so I think this fits nicely.
4. Vanish with the Rose by Barbara Michaels - This is a reread for me and every time I read it I decide I simply must start a rose garden - full of the old fashioned roses of course.
5. Dance Upon the Air by Nora Roberts - Another reread and while gardening isn't the main character's focus it is something she finds enjoyment it in.
What are you hoping to read in April?
I really need to read a Nora Robert's book. I dont know how I haven't!
ReplyDeleteAll of these books have been on my TBR for a long time. I should really get to them. They all look so good.
ReplyDeleteI have put all of these books on my to read shelf. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteGreat choices. I don't think I've read that Sarah Jio, must check. I did enjoy that Nora Roberts trilogy.
ReplyDeleteThe Last Camellia sounds REALLY good. I love the whole thief aspect. Added it to my 2019 TBR.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love Nora Roberts' Three Sisters Island trilogy! And the third one was particularly good.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to read more stories with bloggers as main characters actually!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these. I really just want to get through my pile of April ARCs and don't have plans beyond that :)
ReplyDeleteA gardener at the White House does sound interesting!
ReplyDeleteI love the purple flowers on the Nora Roberts book. 💜
