This is the season to be thankful so I thought I would make up a list of books I am thankful for this year. They have kept me entertained. These are in no particular order so don't get any ideas. What follows is a summary of all the five star books I read this year, so far, and a simple reason I loved them.
Edenbrooke by Juliane Donaldson
A surprise and a delight.

Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins
Fracture by Megan Miranda
Finally fulfilling a secret wish in a book theme.
