Enjoy your books this month. Great list. You do a great job keeping up with all the group reads you run.

Thanks, Laura! Those are my best reads.

I'm about 1/3 of the way through. Extremely interesting but disturbing.

I'm not liking Herta at all.

Already you can see she lacks a soul.

I first read "Pursuing Lord Pascal" as "Pursuing Lord RASCAL", lol. You have a great list as usual. I think I'm going to wait until the sixth (and last) Graveyard Queen book comes out in another few months and then read the final three books. That way I can read them in one go.

Thanks, Veronica! I was going to wait on The Sinner but two of my friends just raved about it so I got the audiobook for review now:)

"Lord Rascal"...maybe that would have been fun:)

I look forward to seeing your review on it, Jonetta. I read the book blurb on it and I'm concerned that it sounds an awful lot like the plot for the second book.

Hope you get to Home this month. Looking forward to hearing what you think.

That's a high priority!

I want to read The Sinner and Sting next month. I hear they are both really good. I am hoping I might be able to fit Sting in this month. I am waiting for the ebook to come in from the library on Overdrive.

I'm hoping to fit them all in, too!

Wonderful list Jonetta. Looking forward to your review of The Sinner.

Thanks, Angela!

It's a tough read, haunting. I'm hoping to finish by tomorrow.

LOVE your list as usual! If you get to Home let me know...I have my audio coming in soon!

Thank you! I will.

Still got A Few Demons More on there, Jonetta?
It is a struggle, isn't it?

It was, Lauren. I'm almost done and now it's interesting. Should be done by tonight and have lots to discuss. My apology for taking so long.

No need to apologize. It was a hard slog for me too.

You deserve some chocolate!

I want to like this series but feel the same way as you about the books. After reading your review I am not rushing to listen to this one. Thank you for your review!!!

Hey! That's a great excuse to indulge...off to get some:) Thanks for that!

So many love this series but this was 17 hours and 6 minutes I'd like back.

yikes!!! Yeah I'm definitely going to pass as I agreed with all your reviews :)

I am SO glad I do other things while listening. In this case, it was cleaning the apartment and painting a wall.

I normally do, too, Lauren. But, I got so behind in another buddy listen that I found myself out of tasks and having to just sit and listen to the last 2 1/2 hours, though they were the best.

Oy! At least it was the good part :0)

I am glad that you are enjoying the bodyguards series by Cindy Gerard. I need to get back into reading more of the spin off series ( black ops)

I am now, Viki! This surpassed me expectations.
