The quilt story sounds good I took a look on Goodreads and put #1 into my list. I see all different authors so I guess I could read this one first anyway. The movie sounds fun, I went to the theatre to see that one. Will have to look up the time of it.

Nice grouping of books. I need to start putting the book "events" on my calendar. I could have picked a Short Story collection from my TBR to read in May. Three Blind Mice is a great choice! I love books that include bookstores. :-)
The Maisie Dobbs series looks good to me and Raw Edges strikes a chord.
I hope you are enjoying your reading!
Thanks for sharing and for visiting my blog too.
