Okay, I didn’t see that coming; Malta is currently being hit by rain pours and ice showers. Plus, I saw a stray dog lost in the rain, and I can’t think about it. Anyway, reading-wise, I wish I had finished the novel I’m reading and my next read, but oh well, I’m ending the month with 63 books read. Sam is currently hosting WWW Wednesday from Taking On A World of Words.
The Three Ws are:

Return to the Rocking L where mystery, intrigue and romance amount to just another day at the ranch!
I started The Lockwood Legacy Series by Juliette Harper earlier this year, and it ended with a cliffhanger. When I googled the series, I found the box set, so I got it. I’m about 30 pages away from finishing it, but there is still much of the mystery to be solved.

Have you ever been dumped right before the holidays? It sucks.
Luckily, my handsome, hockey player roommate steps in with a plan. He’s going to volunteer his services as my personal trainer, so I can get a revenge body and make my ex regret leaving me. But during our long, sweaty sessions at the gym, I find myself becoming more and more attracted to Sven.
His muscles are enough to make any girl swoon. He is sweet and caring with a panty-melting smile.
Did I mention he’s my ex’s brother?
Ignoring that, Sven might manage to save my Christmas from being an utter disaster, after all.
It’s a short novella I hoped to finish by the end of the month.
