Excellent, thank you! I thought so, but I wanted to make sure and not assume. One of the linking words in one of my runs that I'm "planning" has the word "on" and Goodreads is giving back results where the letters "ON" appear in any word. LOL

I'm trying to pick words that have less chance of being embedded in other words.

Question...would possessives be allowed as a linking word?

For example, would The Mother-in Law and The Bad Mother's Book Club be allowed where Mother('s) is the linking word between the two books?

22. The Night She Disappeared by Kevin O'Brien 4/5
First time reading this author. Lots of twists and turns!

Women's Murder Club Series by James Patterson
#11 - 11th Hour

I set aside the Kitty Norville selection I started earlier this month. Just wasn't feeling it and when I'm listening to an audio and have to keep rewinding because my mind is drifting, that's a sign...lol

21. 11th Hour by James Patterson 4/5

I recommend the audio format narrated by Fred Berman. It was brilliant. :)

20. New Teeth by Simon Rich 5/5
Never read anything by this author before and so glad I did. He's hilarious!

3. New Teeth by Simon Rich AB 5/5 (Humor)
A collection of short stories that had me near tears laughing so hard!

I really thought I was done with this series after #25. There didn't seem to be anything new, fresh or original with the series, but wouldn't you know it pulled me back in with the wackiness and hilarity. And I still have to know who Stephanie will end up with. LOL

Stephanie Plum Series by Janet Evanovich
#26 - Twisted Twenty-Six

Currently working on:
Kitty Norville Series by Carrie Vaughn
#2 - Kitty Goes to Washington

19. Twisted Twenty-Six by Janet Evanovich 4/5
Fun series that is actually better (for me) in audio format

2. Twisted Twenty-Six by Janet Evanovich AB 4/5 (Humor)
Wacky, campy and often side-splitting hilarity

18. The List by Carys Jones 3/5
First time reading anything by this author and found it enjoyable.

1. The List by Carys Jones AB 3/5 World Fiction

This author is an English author. I quite enjoyed this twisty thriller that held quite a few surprises at the end.

I managed 5 for this challenge and thought I would get #6 in but just realized what day it is lol

Thanks for a fun challenge! 😂

I love that series! Sometimes I listen to the audios and the narrator (Grover Gardner) does a fabulous job."

5. Sister Agatha: The World's Oldest Serial Killer by Domhnall O'Donoghue EB 5/5

I think that happened with Sue Grafton's alphabet series, but not sure who took over the series when she died.

For the purposes of this challenge, do we list all the books in the series or just the ones we've read this year?

Do we need to start and complete the series in the same year?
