Five new series debut this month from Mollie Cox Bryan, Gemma Halliday, Kylie Logan, Clara McKenna, Kate Young and the book that I’m most anticipating is. . . “Better Than Nun” by Alice Loweecey. This is another of my favorite series that I’ve followed from one publisher to another and I enjoy the antics of Guilia and her friends. This book, in particular, I’m eager to read.
