I loved Olivia West! Interesting bit of aviation history! Ackerman never disappoints. Safe travels! Can’t wait to hear all about it!

Love your lists and quick review comments/ I am going to check out Turtle House and Unchartered Flight, as dual timelines interest me in light of what I am thinking ahead for the Alfred series. Keep this up. It's great.

Thanks, Jill! I remember several years ago when dual timelines became popular, I used to hate them, but now I feel cheated if I don't have a dual timeline in a HF novel. lol

These are such good pics! One of my 2024 goals is to read a Kristin Hannah book. I have the Nightingale sitting next to my desk and it has to happen this year. I'm also excited to check out Cahokia Jazz, what a hooking premise!

The Nightingale is a great book to start reading on Hannah. Her earlier books are family and friendship related and I really enjoyed those too. Thanks for reading!

Behind is a fun place to be. That means you will always have something to read. :)

Thanks for those reviews. I have to read 20 books this year, and it's hard when I have to write 3 of my own, but I'm keeping optimistic. Have you read Black Cake? It was my last book challenge of 24 books on Goodreads last year. I love it!

Thanks for reading, Ana! No, I haven't read Black Cake yet, but it is on my TBR and I really want to read it. Unfortunately, the new, shiny covers get the best of me every time. Thanks for the nudge, I'll make sure I read it soon.
