January 2nd's Friday Post

It's been *checks notes* 4 months since I did a Friday post.  I was trying to get my Hallmark Christmas movie reviews out, and then other things kept popping up on Fridays.  But here we are.  I'll be linking up to:

Book Beginnings
First Line Friday
Friday 56
Book Blogger Hop

And what book will I be highlighting to kick off the new year?  A Spy in Saigon by Nancy Cole Silverman.

This is book 4 in her Kat Lawson series.  I've finished it, and it is wonderful.

Here's how the book begins:

The only connection I had to Vietnam was the gold four-seasons bracelet my husband had given me.

A bit of a simple beginning, but it does set up the story very well.

Meanwhile, at 56% into the ARC, we get this:

“That’s the safe house?” I expected a safe house to have some type of guarded protection. A speedboat in the river with a couple of plain clothed guards, but this had nothing. The house was nothing more than a bungalow on stilts with a covered balcony.

I need to write my review, but the plan is to review it this coming Thursday as part of a blog tour for the book.

Meanwhile, let's take a look at this week's Book Blogger Hop.  The question is:

Which genre are you eager to jump into more this year, and what draws you to it? 

Nothing comes to mind.  I'll still be the mystery focused reader I've been in the coming year.

Have a great weekend!
