July 2018 Book Pick Ups

For Kindle:

Never: (Prequel to The Amber Isle)
Why I Got It: Offered in Authors Newsletter

The Tenth Island: Finding Joy, Beauty, and Unexpected Love in the Azores

What I hope to get out of it: While the setting of the Azorean Islands sounds intriguing I’m not that into memoirs.

Beautiful Exiles
Why I Got It: Amazon Prime Day

A Killer’s Mind (Zoe Bentley Mystery Book 1)

What I hope to get out of it: A way for her to better visualize life on the Oregon Trail.

The Science of Good Cooking

What we’re into:

Personal Reading – The Heart of Abshire House
Reading With the Miss S – Little House in the Big Woods
Listening to – Psalms, Hymns & Spiritual Songs, Vol. I
Watching – Ha! I wish. We’ve been too busy to watch anything.

Yeah, during Prime Day you could get all of the Kindle First books for July, instead of having to pick just one. Thanks for stopping by!
