I listened to Murder in the Tea Leaves by Laura Childs. Good story, held my interest.

Listening now to The Road to Roswell by Connie Willis. "A delightful novel about alien invasions, conspiracies, and the incredibly silly things people are willing to believe -- some of which may actually be true - and a delightful, intergalactic twist on the romantic comedy." This is SO funny. I could't "put it down." Blew off doing outside chores so I could stay inside and keep listening all day. And it was warm outside.

Still reading A Question of Blood by Ian Rankin. Rebus has his hands full with even more dead bodies and threats against him and his co-workers.

What books are you loving this week?

Thanks for the hearts, my dears!
