When I am out buying books I check everything.I even sniff them to make sure they don't smell like smoke or mold, the only thing a book should smell like is a book. The used books I am selling are in A+ to B condition, hand picked by me and only me. I LOVE books, but hate being disappointed when I order one online. Hi there! This is a little note to let you know about my books.

The lively dialogue and tender emotions compel readers to relish every moment.” Gracie has created a wonderful cast of characters, from the sisters themselves to their benefactress and servants. “The Chance sisters are living a dream, and readers will be thrilled to be there with them. with this thoughtful and tender Regency.” “Gracie continues the charming seasonal saga of the four Chance sisters. “Exquisitely written, perfectly plotted.” A romantic winner, with Gracie’s typical witty charm and sweeping emotion.” “A delightful, emotionally complex romance. “For fabulous Regency flavor, witty and addictive, you can’t go past Anne Gracie.” “Treat yourself to some super reads from a most talented writer.” She follows the monk, and just watches him info dump and piece everything together for the most part. The time focused on her and their shenanigans is pretty boring, she's a boring Mary Sue and her clueless demeanor and comedic relief makes me think she's more or less there for the reader to insert into and live through as she watches all of this unfold around her while desperately (and failing) to piece this entire mystery together. eye candy she is pretty inept and led by the nose by a smarter side character (some monk) that has more prevalence than she does. The mystery club amid being murdered ala And Then There Were None, and this ditzy boring girl who is pointless and nothing but The island setting is the only allure to this series.
