Sheila at Book Journey hosts this weekly event where we celebrate what we are reading for the week as well as books completed the previous week.
Thoughts on the Books I Read Last Week:
Last week was the week of Historicals. Each one different, each one a great read! I managed to finish three audios as well. Now the fun part, choosing three new ones to begin!
Lydia, orphaned as a new immigrant to the US, has a gift for languages. She has a job with the US Navy and has been offered an opportunity to translate for mysterious Alexander. Against her better judgment she accepts and her orderly world is turned upside down. I loved this book!
The Ladies of Lantern Street are back. They are spirited, independent women that support themselves successfully. Beatrice Lockwood works with Joshua Gage to find out who is and why his sister is being blackmailed. He realizes she is not the one, but her past involves her in this mystery. A page turning historical.
Kate knows her guest is more than she appears. When a British troop occupies her home for an evening, it becomes clear who she really is when the woman steals from Major Tremayne. Kate is quickly drawn further into the war, trained as a patriot spy, becomes the fiancee of one of General Howe's officers, and comes face to face with the Major again. A suspenseful thrill ride that takes place during the winter of 1777. A wonderful debut I couldn't put down. I look forward to the next book in the Renegades of the Revolution series.
Nick and Helena are cousins that lived a privileged life before WWII. One loses her (Helena) husband in the war, the other (Nick's) survives. Helena marries and moves from the East Coast to California. Nick and Hughes moves to Florida then back to Boston. As the years go, children arrive and life is not all it seems. Full of secrets, lies, betrayals. A debut that was narrated by my favorite Katherine Kellgren. She does a great job narrating the POVs of 5 characters.

You absolutely kill me, with all the books you read. I'm going to have to live another life time to catch up. Thanks for your reviews.
The Rainbow Rowell book looks good...enjoy your week!
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Argh Nise, you're dangerous for my wishlist and TBR piles. Love the cover of Tigers in Red Weather, it definitely appeals but so does The Turncoat and Against the Tide. Decisions, decisions lol
Hope this week of reading is just as good as the last :)
Eleanor and Park is a bestseller at our store. I'm sure you'll like it! Have a great reading week!
I like the sound of Against The Tide. I enjoyed Eleanor and Park, I hope you do to!
Have a fab reading week!

I just love your mailbox. Other than the Tigers book everything else is totally new to me.
Good books coming up for you
I'm working on Eleanor and Park now. Touching.
Here's my It's Monday!
Wow! You certainly had a productive week. I liked The Mystery Woman. Come see what I read and happy reading!
The Turncoat looks fantastic, can't imagine how I've missed that one. Thanks for the heads up!
You did well!! I am STILL going slow! Too slow!!
Here is my post!!
You had a fabulous week! They all look good but maybe not the werewolf one for me :)
Happy Reading and Listening!
Tigers in Red Weather sounds right up my alley.
It's been a long time since I read Amanda Quick's books. She's always good. Enjoy your week!
Even though historic reads are not for me I have realised within the genre they are unique so I understand the love for them.
Tigers in Red Weather is going on my TBR list.
Against the Tide sounds truly amazing. Heck, all of them that you reviewed here sound great!
