Welcome back! It’s the last Wednesday of April. I can hardly believe it. Does any else feel like it fly by? And my May is shaping up to be busy busy busy. How is your spring looking?

Murder by Memory by Olivia Waite is $2.99! This is book one in the Dorothy Gentleman series, which I know was highly anticipated. Did any of you pick this one up?
The Bodyguard by Katherine Center is $2.99! I mentioned this one on a previous Hide Your Wallet and was tempted by the bodyguard heroine. However, it’s still in my to-read stack. Have you read this one?
The King’s Messenger by Susanna Kearsley is $4.49 at Amazon and $5.99 elsewhere! This is a recent release and Sarah’s reading this one now. Here’s what she said:
