This weekly meme was started by @Lauren’s Page Turners. It is now being hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog. To participate, choose a random book from your GoodReads TBR and show it off. Which sounds easy enough until you have to decide how to choose that book! I think I will use a different way each week, like picking a color or number of pages. I will let you know each week how I chose the book and then something interesting about it, like how it ended up on the list or why I want to read it. Got it? Okay let’s get started.
This week’s pick starts with the letter ‘D’. This was another letter where there were lots of good choices. I finally decided that I wanted to go with another murder mystery this week. This is a recent publication, and I am not sure it is available in the state, at least not at my library or local indie store. But I can always hope it will come here one day. This is another one that take place in a small village in England.
