It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organise yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and er… add to your groaning TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started on J Kaye’s blog and then was hosted by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn here at The Book Date.
Jen Vincent, Teach Mentor Texts, and Kellee of Unleashing Readers decided to give It’s Monday! a kidlit focus. If you read and review books in children’s literature – picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels, young adult novels or anything in those genres – join them.

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Tricia O’Malley comes an enchanting romance series set on the rocky shores of Ireland. Readers are addicted to this bestselling series that transports them to a mystical town where magick and romance unite.
It is time…
An ancient book, a power untouched, and a heart unloved lead Keelin O'Brien from her graduate studies in Boston to a small village on the coast of Southern Ireland. Determined to unearth the secrets lying hidden in the enchanted waters of the cove, Keelin has little time for a surly Irishman who infuriates her during the day and haunts her fantasies at night.
Inexplicably drawn to the woman who has stepped from his dreams and into his world, Flynn fights a stubborn battle against his increasing attraction for Keelin. Forces unknown have better plans for the two.
Only the secrets of the cove can show Keelin who she really is, the beauty of her mysterious power, and a love that will break the bounds of what she knows.

The second twenty-five-year-old Grace Kelly arrives in Emerald Bay she can almost taste her Nanna Kitty’s fresh-baked Irish shortbread. But even her grandmother’s cooking can’t distract Grace from the secret she’s carrying. Her handsome, twinkly-eyed flatmate from London, Chris Dorrance, is a local too: and she’s never been able to tell her family who he really is…
Everyone in Emerald Bay knows about the feud between their families. She could never tell her beloved daddy she lives with Chris Dorrance. (Let alone about her very inconvenient crush on him!)
But Grace and Chris are home for a reason. Their schoolfriend is in trouble without a roof over her head. As they plan to raise money with a village charity concert, Chris’s blue eyes light up. Soon they’re laughing together, chasing dairy cows from a farmer’s field to set up the stage. Could their shenanigans turn into sparks?
But their hopes that a good cause will soften the hostility between their dads are dashed. And with a happy future for their friend depending on the concert running smoothly, the truth behind the feud threatens to come out and destroy everything… but if Grace follows her heart, could she finally heal the rift between their families? Or will the luck of the Irish run out?
This gorgeous and unputdownable Irish small-town romance is perfect for fans of Maeve Binchy, Trisha Ashley and Debbie Macomber.

From my Library holds.... Book 60
The #1 New York Times bestselling author J. D. Robb spins an epic tale of loyalty, treachery, murder, and the long shadow of war…
His passport read Giovanni Rossi. But decades ago, during the Urban Wars, he was part of a small, secret organization called The Twelve. Responding to an urgent summons from an old compatriot, he landed in New York and eased into the waiting car. And died within minutes…
Lieutenant Eve Dallas finds the Rossi case frustrating. She’s got an elderly victim who’d just arrived from Rome; a widow who knows nothing about why he’d left; an as-yet unidentifiable weapon; and zero results on facial recognition. But when she finds a connection to the Urban Wars of the 2020s, she thinks Summerset—fiercely loyal, if somewhat grouchy, major-domo and the man who’d rescued her husband from the Dublin streets—may know something from his stint as a medic in Europe back then.
When Summerset learns of the crime, his shock and grief are clear—because, as he eventually reveals, he himself was one of The Twelve. It’s not a part of his past he likes to revisit. But now he must—not only to assist Eve’s investigation, but because a cryptic message from the killer has boasted that others of The Twelve have also died. Summerset is one of those who remain—and the murderous mission is yet to be fully accomplished…
