I haven't read any of those books, but I did read some of the authors last year. I recently heard a lot about The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston and may try to find time to read it this year.
ReplyDeleteI've read Hazelwood and Beckman.
ReplyDeleteYay for Poets Square and The Knight and the Moth! Deep End and Good Spirits are both on my TBR, though I think I'm about ready to stop trying to keep up with Ali Hazelwood.
ReplyDeleteI get that - Ali Hazelwood writes like she is running out of time lol!
