Welcome to my Monday Musings. School is now in full swing again as well as all the other after-school activities. Our weather is warmer than normal for September, so that has been an unexpected bonus.

I visited with some friends this past week. On the weekend I helped a friend move into her new house, which turned into wine on the deck after all the hard work. And we celebrated my kid’s birthday.

A mix of old and new authors made it to my ereader this past week and it certainly made things interesting. Do you have a favourite new author?

And now on to the reading part of the post. (To find out more about the books: For mobile users – tap on the image of the book cover. For PC users – just hover the mouse over the cover.)

QUOTES THAT CAUGHT MY EYE

These are all from My Rogue to Ruin by Erica Ridley:

“Theirs isn’t the opinion that matters.” He cupped her face and stroked her cheek with his thumb. “Don’t you ever be the person who limits you.”

“Pies are pies.” She patted her stomach. “They’re for all the space between meals.”

“This family wouldn’t be a rainbow without every one of its hues, no matter how bright it shines that day.”
