  Hello.... I bought a book recently.  Actually, I bought more than a book but I shall just be sharing one of my purchases here. Be Careful What You Wish For is part of a series of novels that I am curating. If you refer to my post from Feb 2019, I posted about this series and how I am two books short to have a complete set.
