Stacking the Shelves - May 31, 2014



Stacking the Shelves is an awesome meme hosted by Tynga's Review.

Bloggers share the books they've received, bought, borrowed - and I collect more and more books for my 'must acquire' list.

I've been trying to be 'good' about book acquisitions. I had a few outstanding reviews that have lingered on my plate for far too long, so I didn't want to pick up too many.

Pie-baking, ghosts and a writer - all sounds good to me. I really am a sucker for any book featuring writers or books. The cover reminds me of Sheryl Woods/Fern Michaels/Susan Mallery/Robyn Carr type books, so I guess I should expect something along those lines....

There were so many elements in the blurb that seemed interesting to me - scandal in suburbia, starting over, a dinner club.... Something about it all coming together was really appealing.
