I guess that means I'm not as British as I like to think ... or that coffee now rules the world.<br /><br />I'm sharing from Five Days in Skye by Carla Laureano on my blog today. But I'm reading Bookishly Ever After by Sarah Monzon, the final novella in the Timeless Love collection I featured a couple of weeks ago. It's ticking all the boxes for me—contemporary romance, first person point of view, a bookish heroine, and a good friend who might become more ...

Heath's If Only It Were Yesterday (coming out this fall!), and the main character *loves* her tea - all kinds! :-) I usually stick to herbal tea (esp. peppermint), but that book made me curious about some of the other kinds, too! :-) <br /><br />On my blog, I'm featuring Only the River Runs Free, but I'll share the first line of another book on my TBR list here, Elizabeth Musser's Searching for Eternity: "I am watching the evening news, alone in my house, hungry and tired from the day's work, eating a piece of leftover pizza and wishing it were blanquette de veau.
