I have to be honest and admit that this is not an entire book, but a short story meant to entice readers into reading a new series of books by Debbie Macomber. (But since I only read one book during the entire month of June, I am counting this story as a book!) She's a favorite author of mine and I was deeply saddened to learn last year that her renowned series of Cedar Cove books was ending. Apparently, I was not the only one upset by this so Macomber has begun a new series of books about Cedar Cove called The Inn at Rose Harbor. To get her readers excited about this new series, Macomber published in e-format this short story, "When They First Met." It's only about 25 pages long, but I am hooked. I have the release date of the first book on my calendar and can't wait for August 14 to get here.
The story of Paul and Jo Marie Rose touched my heart. The premise is the saddest thing I have read in a long time and I will not be a spoiler and ruin it for anyone who is interested in this new series. But, I can tell you that I am overly anxious for August and am thrilled to get to know a new cast of characters in a series that is sure to be as wonderful as the first Cedar Cove series of books. Jo Marie and Paul are unforgettable.
This short story is only available in digital format and you can get it for $0.99. It's well worth the dollar, even though it's only 25 pages. I bet it will hook you, too!
Happy Reading!

#29 Dropped Dead Stitch by Maggie Sefton
Yes, it has taken me an entire month to read one 284 page book. Hard for some to believe, I know, but with the ending of school, some personal things I have been dealing with, and with a vacation to Disney World, there hasn't been a lot of time to read. I promised myself this year that I would read when I found time and would lead my life as I felt necessary, trying hard to read when it worked and not forcing the pages to be turned when it didn't. I guess I proved that this month, huh?
Dropped Dead Stitch by Maggie Sefton is number 7 in a series of knitting mysteries starring Kelly Flynn. I have loved them all, and this one is no different. I will admit that it was hard to read at times, as this particular mystery deals with sexual assault, which is never easy to have to think about. Regardless, it was a good story with an ending that made sense and was not predictable, which is always good for a murder mystery.
Books 8 and 9, borrowed from my mother, are on my shelf, but I am not quite ready to read them yet. They are easy and light reads (despite the murders that take place in each one) but I am ready for something a bit different. My next book is called Saving CeeCee Honeycutt and I am excited to read a book by a new author. I'll be sure to let you know how what I think of it.
Happy reading!
