STACKING THE SHELVES

I hope this week I've done a better job of sticking with the purpose of the link-up better.  I've decided to post one for each day of the last week, book name linked to GoodReads:

Sunday, 1 January - 25 Mysteries to Die For (anthology-various authors)
Monday, 2 January - Highland Fire: Guardians of the Stone #1 by Tanya Anne Crosby
Tuesday, 3 January - Craving: A Willow Creek Vampire by Stephanie Summers
Wednesday, 4 January - A Friend of Silence (Roger & Bess Mystery #1) by M. Lee Prescott
Thursday, 5 January - Zoey's Post It Notes by Jeff & Zoey Steiner
Friday, 6 January - (I MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN MY MORNING CUP OF COFFEE)
Saturday, 7 January - Carpe Bead'em by Tonya Kappes

IT'S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING

I'm on page 27 of 188 and anticipate being done by the time Monday rolls around, and will probably be on to this one:

As always, the covers link to GoodReads.
