I received 1 hard cover and 1 soft cover book plus a bookmark!

Here’s the front of the product info card, which is in a convenient bookmark form.

The back of the bookmark gave a tiny blurb about each book.

Last One Home by Debbie Macomber ($26 $14.24) This is Book 1 of 2 in the New Beginnings Series and is about fresh starts and reconciliation. The author is a popular one so if you like her style then you can pick one of her other novels to enjoy.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Debbie Macomber, author of the Blossom Street and Cedar Cove series, delivers an inspiring new stand-alone novel about the enduring bond between sisters, the power of forgiveness, and a second chance at love.

Growing up, Cassie Carter and her sisters, Karen and Nichole, were incredibly close—until one fateful event drove them apart. After high school, Cassie ran away from home to marry the wrong man, throwing away a college scholarship and breaking her parents’ hearts. To make matters worse, Cassie had always been their father’s favorite—a sentiment that weighed heavily on her sisters and made Cassie’s actions even harder to bear.

Now thirty-one, Cassie is back in Washington, living in Seattle with her daughter and hoping to leave her past behind. After ending a difficult marriage, Cassie is back on her own two feet, the pieces of her life slowly but surely coming together. Despite the strides Cassie’s made, she hasn’t been able to make peace with her sisters. Karen, the oldest, is a busy wife and mother, balancing her career with raising her two children. And Nichole, the youngest, is a stay-at-home mom whose husband indulges her every whim. Then one day, Cassie receives a letter from Karen, offering what Cassie thinks may be a chance to reconcile. And as Cassie opens herself up to new possibilities—making amends with her sisters, finding love once more—she realizes the power of compassion, and the promise of a fresh start.

A wonderful novel of perseverance and trust, and an exciting journey through life’s challenges and joys, Last One Home is Debbie Macomber at the height of her talents.

One Plus One by Jojo Moyes ($16 $9.52) This author is new to me (yes, I know one of her books is now a movie) but when the cover mentions Bridget Jones-like qualities I know I’m in for a wild ride.

One single mom. One chaotic family. One quirky stranger. One irresistible love story from the New York Times bestselling author of Me Before You and After You.

American audiences have fallen in love with Jojo Moyes. Ever since she debuted Stateside she has captivated readers and reviewers alike, and hit the New York Times bestseller list with the word-of-mouth sensation Me Before You. Now, with One Plus One, she’s written another contemporary opposites-attract love story.

Suppose your life sucks. A lot. Your husband has done a vanishing act, your teenage stepson is being bullied, and your math whiz daughter has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you can’t afford to pay for. That’s Jess’s life in a nutshell—until an unexpected knight in shining armor offers to rescue them. Only Jess’s knight turns out to be Geeky Ed, the obnoxious tech millionaire whose vacation home she happens to clean. But Ed has big problems of his own, and driving the dysfunctional family to the Math Olympiad feels like his first unselfish act in ages . . . maybe ever.

One Plus One is Jojo Moyes at her astounding best. You’ll laugh, you’ll weep, and when you flip the last page, you’ll want to start all over again.

I love that BookCase.Club sends picks that are highly rated, both on Amazon and Goodreads! Both of the authors this month are very popular and the books look interesting to me. I’ve read some of Debbie Macomber’s Christmas tales and am looking forward to this novel, plus any book by an English author such as Jojo Moyes sounds right up my alley. May’s books totaled $23.76, which is more than the price of the subscription plus shipping. BookCase.Club sends books that are usually a few years old but so far they have all been new to me!

    I purchased a subscription during the Mother’s Day sale. I selected Thrill Seeker because the last time I had a subscription I selected Booking for Love. Now I am thinking I should switch back to Booking for Love. The May selections look great!

      I don’t know, Thrill Seeker looks pretty good too! I used to read historical romances almost exclusively but I like Gone Girl and Girl on the Train. I looked through the past several Thriller boxes online and the selections look great, although you can always email them and see if they will change it if you like!
