1) Yes! 2) Yes, but mostly for very popular books that are selling tons of copies...those I borrow from the library. I save my book-buying budget for supporting debuts and lesser-known authors, because I know book sales are vital to their careers. 3) Very rarely...only if the physical book is out of print.

Saturday morning, but here it is.
1. You guys, 2. Two, 3. Litsy, instagram, Goodreads, Twitter. 4. We‘re visiting Wisconsin so that means fish fry. Yum! 5. @Amymeyerson and @ErinSueG are the first people who let me know about litsy so I‘m tagging them.

I think this is my favorite of Mary Kubica's novels (so far). I sympathized with Quinn's plight, loved how she puzzled everything out, and was rooting for her all along. Alex was a bit trickier, but he grew on me, too. I enjoyed the twists and turns this one took...a page-turner in the finest sense of the expression.

I thoroughly enjoyed this engaging novel about life in the Barbizon Hotel for Women in 1950s NYC. I was caught up in the details and twisty elements. Davis clearly did her research on this time period and specific locale.

A page-turning mystery set in a small town in Pennsylvania, this is a solid whodunnit with a cast of engaging characters. Moretti gives an insightful glance into decaying small town life and the long-reaching repercussions when most of the town's inhabitants lose their livelihood.

I adore meeting with book clubs (either in person or via video chat) to discuss The Bookseller and/or The Glass Forest. This group, the “Book Babes” of Denver, CO, also fed me sushi and wine. Author win!

I devoured this beautiful novel from cover to cover. Once I stepped into Bert's world, I couldn't let go, and I found myself thinking about these characters and their struggles at all hours of the day.

A delightful story for anyone who loves bookstores, riddles, and/or family saga. I was cheering for the very likable main character, Miranda, as she journeyed to discover long-hid family secrets.

A beautiful, eloquently written novel. I became completely absorbed in the story of these two sisters and their families.

Brand new here! Hope it‘s okay to introduce myself as the author of these two novels: The Bookseller (Harper, 2015) and The Glass Forest (Touchstone/Simon & Schuster, 2018). Both books are literary suspense set in the 1950s-60s. Thanks to @Amymeyerson and @ErinSueG for recommending I join the fun and conversation!

Loved it!
