  10. The listing of A Box Full of Darkness reminds me of a favorite quote by Mary Oliver:
    “Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.”

  18. Love this list! I, too, am looking forward to reading First Sign of Danger and AntiHero! And I didn't know McMahon had a new one coming out so now I'm excited for that one, too. I loved Head Cases. And Dinniman's series is a lot of fun. At least, I've really been enjoying it. :D

  19. I just finished FIRST SIGN OF DANGER. I usually listen to the Rockton/Haven's Rock books on audio, but I couldn't wait! It's a good read, just like all the other books in the series. I also really liked A BOX FULL OF DARKNESS. I hope you enjoy all these.

    Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
