Wow what a great list. How do you choose what to read with all these wonderful choices? Alison Gaylin is an author I read many year ago and I need to read again. Have you read her before?

Enjoy your reading.

Thank you, Viki! Well, Some have deadlines or are group reads. Those have priority. Everything else is mood driven. For example, last month, I dug down into the spoiler section for some of my choices just because. I like having that flexibility.

Alison Gaylin is a new-to-me author so that’s helpful that you’d read something by her again.

Have a great month Jonetta

Thanks, Michelle!

Thank you, Jessika💜

Lots of historicals this month, Jonetta! Enjoy :)

Enjoy your reading/listening this month. I love seeing everyone's plan. It gives me ideas for the future.

Intriguing list, I hope you like them. Is the Allison Brennan group read going into Lucy Kincaid? I will have to hop in after I figure out what book I am on.

Thank you, Lauren💜 I’d gotten away from the genre but these series are something special.

Thanks, Sharon! Isn’t it great? We’ve been know to organize buddy reads from these plans. And, some of the best ideas for group reads have emerged. Some of the, are catnip for me😏

Thank you, Laura💜 Yes, we start Lucy Kincaid this month, finally!!! I’m so glad we went back to the trilogies as so many of these characters are showing up in her series. We begin with the novella.

Thank you, Laura💜 Yes, ..."

Sounds good, I’m at book 5 so I will join in then.

That would be Stalked and we will be reading it in October.

Lots of titles to choose from. Have a great reading month!

Thank you, Anita!
