I am thankfully feeling better this week. I still have a cough that is lingering on and making it hard to sleep as it seems worse at night. I think because my throat dries out. My husband was successful in finding a used car. It is a Volvo which I had a Volvo station wagon years ago and I loved it, so I am hoping for another good run with this one. Happy Belated Valentine's Day to those who celebrate! I have to admit the holiday snuck up on me maybe because it was on a Tuesday? My husband and I decided to celebrate this weekend. We don't really go all out on this holiday, but we do exchange cards. I love a heartfelt well written card.  I hope you are having a great Wednesday!

This week I read 1 romance, 1 cozy mystery, 1 YA fantasy, and 1 sci-fi romance:

Sweet Talk by Cara Bastone
It’s officially booty o’clock, I’m alone again in my kitchen choking down a slice of terrible chocolate cake…and I’m pretty sure I just got drunk texted by the man I have a ginormous crush on. I’ve been daydreaming about Eliot Hoffman’s dimples for two months, and even though I’m sure this was a mistake on his end, it doesn’t mean it’s not an opportunity on mine. It’s the middle of the night, and I just wanna talk to him. So I text him back. And then somehow, we keep talking…ALL NIGHT. We’re both insomniacs, so talking all night soon turns into talking EVERY night. ~Goodreads Description
This was another great entry in the Love Lines series. I have loved all three of these stories. Sweet Talk was so well written, and I loved the narration. Both Eliot and Jessie are total sweethearts. I loved that Jessie knew who Eliot was, but Eliot had no idea who Jessie was, but they still had such great conversations. The story was both joyful and heartfelt. This was a delightful tale that made me wish for more in this series.


Agent of Change by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller
This is my first foray into the Liaden verse, according to the author's website, there are a couple of different places where you can jump into this series. Even though technically this is the 9th book in the series it is the first book in the Agent of Change Arc which consists of four books. Agent of Change is a fun romp through space with an ex-mercenary named Miri, and a spy named Val Con, as they take turns saving each other's lives from the various people who are trying to kill them. I enjoyed this book. I loved the journey the two of them go on as they go from strangers who barely trust each other to friends and more. I also enjoyed the author's ability to write about various alien species all with unique characteristics and cultures. All in all, a good book and I will continue on in the series.
