I got up to date in 2 series:
Rizzoli & Isles (#13) series by Tess Gerritsen

I started the Romantic Suspense series by Karen Rose and the Creep duology by Jennifer Hillier. I plan on continuing them both.

3. Did you move forward in any series (that you didn’t complete or finish)? How many?
I moved forward in 1 series: Sisterhood (#5) by Fern Michaels.

4. Any standout or 5 star books read? Why did you love it/them?
I highly enjoyed Uncultured by Daniella Mestyanek Young. It was truly an amazing shocking and intriguing book.

I completed 6 books this month which put me back ahead of my yearly goal. I got behind while on vacation. I enjoyed all the books I read and I look forward to completing my other goals over the next few months.
