Oh, I do love that title, too, bermudaonion, but it’s kind of a mouthful, isn’t it? Not as bad as the Guernsey Literary one…I can never get that one out! I’m really exciting about Balancing Acts, too.
Hope you have a great week and thanks for stopping by.

I love the covers of several of these – I am fully willing to admit that I sometimes judge books by their covers. Sometimes it serves me well, and other times I get tricked into reading books that are awful but have pretty covers, lol.
