Enjoy your books.

I am at the same place as you in BDB series. Enjoy all your books!

Enjoy your reading Robin.

Hope you enjoy your books, Robin!
Happy New Year :)

I've read a handful of her titles. She is hit and miss for me. I hope you have a good one on your shelf.

Thanks Laura. I'm hoping to make a dent in that series this year.

Good luck, I’m having a hard time with the multiple storylines going on in these later books.

Yay! We've four group reads together and I’m looking forward to that.

The JDR group has finally caught up to where I am in the Karen Rose series so I’ll be back to that series this month, too. Enjoy your book (don’t you just enjoy that series?).

I’m really happy for you and your brother. Stay safe and well!

Actually, I love the multiple storylines. If she features a story/character I don't like, I only have to wait to the next chapter to get I like.

Thanks Jonetta! I'm in the middle of the Karen Rose book. This book is huge. I'll let you know what I think of it when I'm done.

I have never realized how long the Karen Rose books are. The plots are just so interesting the time just flies. I'm waiting for Say Goodbye. It won't be published till August :(

Happy New Year! Enjoy your reading :)

Yesterday I finished listening to Stuck by Chris Grabenstein. This was an audible original. I thought it was cute.
