Identity by Nora Roberts - Books of My Heart

Den of Wolves by Juliet Marillier - Books of My Heart

The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill - Books of My Heart

The Woman in the Library did not have a lot to do with libraries, other than an initial murder taking place there.  It did have a lot to do with books and writers though.   It is also a story within a story.   Each chapter is a piece of a famous author’s manuscript following a letter […]
