Timekeeper was fantastic—so glad I read it!

Thanks! It’s been nice to have a break from stress for a while!

I was amazed at how much I loved Timekeeper. Like, I seriously kept putting the book down and saying, “I love this book!”
I’m glad this year is off to such a positive start for you! I feel like mine is, too. Hope you have a great week!
It’s nice to breathe easier for a little while!f
A strong start is a good omen for the year. I was so excited when I got the tour information for Say You’ll Remember Me. I love McGarry and this was a solid read for me. I hope you enjoy it.
McGarry is always a favorite of mine, so I was really excited about it too!
I’m on the tour too and halfway through Say You’ll Remember Me right now and love! Drix?! OH he has my heart and I can’t wait to finish it tonight! Here’s hoping you enjoy it when you pick it up too!
I’m picking this one up next. Can’t wait!
So glad that the year is off to a good start for you. I hope that’s a good sign and that it continues. I’m reading Say You’ll Remember Me now and enjoying it so much. Katie McGarry never disappoints.
She’s definitely a favorite of mine!
I’m glad you had a positive start to the year! Have a great week!
Thanks, AJ. It’s nice to be off to a good start!
Timkeeper sounds fantastic! Can’t wait for your review! Glad to hear 2018 is looking good Nicole. Have a great year!
I’m happy to be able to post positive stuff instead of always complaining around here. 🙂
I’m glad we’re into 2018 too! I’m looking forward to all the fun stuff we’ll all do this year. 🙂
Here’s to fun stuff!!
Yay for a good start to 2018! Say You’ll Remember Me has been featured on a few blogs lately. I can’t read the title without thinking of that Taylor Swift song though! Ha!
I’m so out of touch with pop culture that I didn’t even realize that’s a Taylor Swift song. (Sad, I know.)
I don’t know why, but I rarely do the pre-orders, I need to do that more often I think. You’ve got some interesting discussion posts to link to, I need to go check the sweater book cover one, it sounds good. Have a great week! YOu can see my Sunday Post in the link before.
I don’t do them that often either, but if I’m going to buy the book, this is the way to do it!
