Birthday Season - Books I Actually Bought

 

I celebrate a birthday season instead of just one day and of course going to bookstores are part of the way I celebrate.  I've still got a bit to go but here are twelve books I've bought.

1.  The Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club by Helen Simonson - This was part of a historical fiction bundle at one of our indie bookstores and it sounded really good.

2.  The Wandering Season by Aimie K. Runyan - Another book in the bundle and this one is not only an author whose books I've enjoyed in the past but involves a DNA test so I'm looking forward to it.

3.  Murder at Gull's Nest by Jess Kidd - The last book in the bundle!  I've read some good reviews for this one and it is another one that looked really good.

4.  At the Coffee Shop of Curiosities by Heather Weber - I've loved everything I've read by this author and I'm trying to get all the ones I haven't read.

5.  The Museum Detective by Maha Khan Phillips - The blurb really grabbed my attention.

6.  Emily Wilde's Encylopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett - I keep checking this out from the library but by the time I get it I don't have time to read it before it goes back so obviously I just needed to buy it.

7.  Touchstone by Laurie R. King - I picked this one up at a used bookstore and I was so excited.  I have the second book in the duology for years but have never been able to find this one until now.

8.  The Hotel Nantucket by Elin Hilderbrand - I finally read a book by this author earlier this year and really loved it.  The blurb really caught my eye on this one and I'm looking forward to reading it.

9.   The Riviera House by Natasha Lester - This one looks fantastic and I've read another book by this author and really enjoyed it.

10.  Our Last Days in Barcelona by Chanel Cleeton - A missing sister and a dual timeline sounds like a book for me and I've liked what I've read by this author.

11.  Picnic in Someday Valley by Jodi Thomas - I really liked the first book in this series and this is the only one that my library doesn't have so I was excited to see it in the store.

12. The Secret to Southern Charm by Kristy Woodson Harvey - I really enjoyed the first book in this series that I read last year so I had to pick up this second book.

What's a book you're really wanting to buy?  Have you read any of these?
