I'm going to pass this time around. I'm expecting an edit job, so my reading will be selective.

message 7: by Katrina (new)

Katrina Lybbert | 886 comments I want to read Countdown (Extreme Measures #4) by Lynette Eason


I still have an 18 week wait at my library for this book, but it is my top choice to read from this list. I need to catch up on other months' books, so I am okay to wait to get this one, even if I don't read it till 2024.

oh wow! I was on the waitlist at my own library for a physical copy, but ended up finding it in my library's 'hoopla' collection . . . good luck to you! 18 weeks . . . that's like . . . sometime near Valentine's Day?


message 9: by Brittany (new)

Brittany  | 548 comments I won't get to any new ones this month. Too many review responsibilities. But I have read Concrete Evidence by DiAnn Mills and Countdown (Extreme Measures #4) by Lynette Eason this year, and Driving Force (Elite Guardians Collection, #1) by Lynette Eason last year.

Kim Kastner | 249 comments I’ve read Countdown (Extreme Measures #4) by Lynette Eason Potiphar's Wife (The Egyptian Chronicles, #1) by Mesu Andrews The Girl Who Could Breathe Under Water by Erin Bartels

Planning for The Premonition at Withers Farm by Jaime Jo Wright
Wasn’t available on audiobook so I read The Souls of Lost Lake by Jaime Jo Wright instead


message 11: by Simone (new)

Simone (simonec75) | 314 comments I've read 3 of the books on the list. Since I still have many books I was going to finish in September but won't finish until October, I will use Concrete Evidence as my book for October (read on September 18; so, less than 2 weeks early lol). I read Countdown in September as well.

Lynnette  | 663 comments Great list! I have read Countdown (Extreme Measures #4) by Lynette Eason and see several others to add to my TBR list.

Will try and still get to Concrete Evidence by DiAnn Mills

But almost done with Shadows at Dusk (Missing in Alaska, #2) by Elizabeth Goddard which is the book after Counter Attack (Pearl River #1) by Patricia Bradley - with the move to the Netherlands I might just count it as my October read :-)
