Welcome to Tea Time with Marce
Mary Higgins Clark, The Queen of Suspense, is my favourite author and has been for over 10 years. This is a personal challenge for me, I want to rate all of her books so I can say which one is my favourite. I only have 13 Hardcovers on my bookshelf and my goal is to have all of them in Hardcover. I have her new one, The Shadow of your Smile and will start it on Sept 1st to begin the challenge. Please Join In.
Challenge Dates: September 1, 2010 - August 31, 2011
