  Thanks for your comment Margot, It might take some time since I can’t read as much as I would like right now but hope to finish it by the weekend.

Great month’s reading by the sound of it. None of yours are on my shelves, though I have put Postoda’s on the wish-list. The others I will maybe take a rain check on – too many books already.
I hope you enjoy your fix of Connelly and Mackay – enjoy your February reading!

Sorry to get here so late because I always love your summary posts. I like to see what you have bought and will be reviewing… soon I hope. I want to read both Rubbernecker and Visitation Street, so glad you have such a high opinion of those books. Visitation Street I have already so maybe soon I will read it.
