I have been doing this for some 20 years now and never tire of it.<br /><br />Lisa Gardner books are always a good read for me, although unlike yourself, I can never have more than one book on the go at the same time.<br /><br />You have so many new books to choose from this time, however Closed Doors caught my eye in particular. This is a new to me author, but one that definitely needs checking out in more depth.<br /><br />I hope that this coming week isn't such a busy one for you and that you enjoyed your leftover turkey ... it often tastes even better this way!<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-49470964256007374692014-03-17T15:03:24.232-04:002014-03-17T15:03:24.232-04:00We like turkey dinners several times a year.
