    I love your reviews! I don't think this book is for me (you nearly made me order it instantly, though), but I do love your reviews. 🤩

    Thanks for your review, I have read and loved The Priory and four of her other novels. I agree she is very underrated.

    Of course I don't really know, and definitely I agree marriages demand effort to make them work right but I feel like expressing one point on the topic: There are some couples who in effect marry themselves without needing any one to join them together; and then there are couples who are joined together in the ritualistic ceremony we think of as a traditional wedding. As for the others, well, quite frankly, I don't know what to think.

    The Priory is on my shelf and I will try to read it next year, I can't wait. BTW, I purchased it from Amazon and I did not get the bookmark, boo. I'm about to finish up "the Woman in White" and I can't wait to read how this all ends, boy, interesting characters in the book. Next my TBR, some fun books before I get to "the Brothers Karamazov". I will be rereading the "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya sisterhood", by Rebecca Wells. I did not like the movie but I remembered the book gave me some laughs and "The Sun Down Motel", by Simone St. James. Enjoy your Sunday.

      Oh noooo the bookmark is the best with Persephone books! Ooooh Woman in White is so good! Oooooo Brothers Karamazov is one of my absolute favorites. I hope you love it. You’ve got some excellent reading lined up 😍

    Okay. That does it. I'm getting a copy of The Priory and putting it in the "soon" pile.
    Thank you.

    Keep up the good reviews! People like you make us writers think about what we do, and I like that. :)

    I think I'd like this book. I can't order it ATM; I have too many books to read in a short time. I think you'd like THE WHISPERS -it's a new book that looks at the same subject: women in their 40's who have regrets. And it doesn't matter almost what choices you make; there is always the road not taken. Where is your review of Paul? I am not trying to be a brat. I'm going away for a while and I won't be able to watch your reviews. I really enjoyed this review.

      I hear that lol. I’ve barely purchased books recently because I need to tackle what I already own. Thanks for the rec!!
      It’ll probably be later in the year when o get to Paul - I agreed to take some ARCs from publishers and I need to knock those reviews out first.

    Hi, I was really impressed by the beauty of "Motion Detection," a thriller book that I stumbled upon on Amz. It's different from the usual, and I highly recommend it to you!
