The Duke I Once Knew by @OliviaDrake1 ~ a Review & Excerpt

by MK French

Abigail Linton and Maxwell Bryce had romantic feelings for each other when young, but Max and his infant sister were brought to London after his mother's death. Fifteen years later, Abigail had gotten fed up with her older siblings perpetually using her to soothe their lives with no consideration for her wants. She accepts the post of governess for Max's younger sister, thinking that he would be away from the estate. Circumstances send him back to the estate along with his libertine friends, and the two meet again for the first time in fifteen years.

I enjoyed doing the Great Read PBS posts last year, so I think I'm going to continue to do that type post with books that I'm not truly reviewing. I hope you enjoy the fun facts and a different look at books.

Donna's December Reading Wrap-up #MondayBlogs

by Donna Huber

Here we are: the last day of 2018. It has been a great reading year. I've read/listened to 118 books (because I'm counting the stories in A Christmas Treasury as separate "books" - I'm not going to read them all this year so I thought it was a good way to get credit for what I did read), which is 3 more than last year and 18 more than my goal of 100 books. December was an average reading month (thanks to short stories). I enjoyed a few Christmas stories and a short break from review copies.

A Year of Reviews 2018

I wanted to take a moment to look back at all the books we reviewed this year in case you missed any. If you want to find out which ones were our favorites be sure to check out Donna's Books to Give as Gifts and Best of the Bunch 2018, Sue's Best of 2018 Book List, and MK's Year End Round Up.

Top Posts of 2018

We are coming down to the end of 2018. It has been a great year with a ton of posts. It looks like we will have posted 375 times this year. Most of those have been reviews, but we've had a few guest posts and interviews sprinkled in along with the articles from the featured writers. Here's a look at the most viewed posts and special posts you may have missed. On Sunday, we will have a rundown of all the books we've reviewed.
