Updated Book Lists! (TSS)

I realized a couple of weeks ago that it had been a while since I updates my read list, or posted about the great reviews I'm finding. I kept meaning to write it all up as a Sunday Salon but then Sunday would come and go and I wouldn't have done it. So I'm writing it on Thursday and will set it to publish on Sunday.  Brilliant, no? I'm sure every one of you have moments like that all the time, but frankly I'm lucky to remember which shoes will hurt my feet by 5pm each day.

So here we go!  The last time I updated this list was in January, which was an excellent month for both Mike and I. Since then, we've read the following books:

My list, title link goes to Amazon, if I reviewed it the link follows the author:
