Count me in

For January I am going to start with

1. Revisit
Something in the Water which is on the mystery / thriller shelf chosen in January 2010
I must go and look at what others in the group thought about this. My review is here https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
I definitely think there was something in the water the author was drinking when she wrote this

2. Crossing Borders
The Bell in the Lake 06/01/2021
Originally written in Norwegian and a firm favourite in that country. For me I could not decide whether the translation was the problem or the fact that the folk story the narrative was created around meant little to me. It is the first in a series that i don't think i will be following

3. Owned
Memory Man
I have had this on my TBR and Kindle for well over a year. I loved it and will definitely read more. It is also a new author for me so not only the series but the author to follow

4. Pick-A-Shelf
I just chose someone doing this challenge - June (post 19)
Anne of the Island 23/01/2021 I love this series it is so charming

5. Last month
I have 3 - 5 star books from last month
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
The Dictionary of Lost Words
The Whole Truth

I will do The Perfect Life from readers also enjoyed

I loved this author's first book hated the second but oh she is back on form with this one. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
