She definitely isn't for everyone. <br /><br />I do the same thing in bookstores. All I can think of is how many books are on my shelves or kindle already and lock up. I can sometimes buy cookbooks but that's about it. Except for Amazon's daily deals.

The Monuments Men and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society are both on my TBR list, and I've been thinking I should read Katherine Morton. And I was intrigued enough by your description of The Lavender Garden to check it out on Goodreads; now it's on my TBR list, too.
