Melissa’s comments from the 2-3-4 Challenge group.

I finished reading B is for Burglar (Kinsey Millhone #2) by Sue Grafton and I look forward to continuing the series. I'm not starting anything new at this time. I've still got 2 going to finish.

I finished reading B is for Burglar by Sue Grafton, 4 ★. I like a good mystery with a unique twist. Here's my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Sorry this is so late. My life has been crazy.

1. Did you complete and/or get up to date in any series this month?
No

2. Did you start any new series? If so, what were they? Will you continue?
Nothing new

3. Did you move forward in any series (that you didn’t complete or finish)? How many?
I moved forward in 4 series:
Dollanganger series #2 by V.C. Andrews
Sisterhood #8 by Fern Michaels
In Death #14 by J.D. Robb
Lucy Stone #3 by Leslie Meier

4. Any standout or 5 star books read? Why did you love it/them?
I always enjoy the Sisterhood and In Death series. This month I also read A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid which was dark and intriguing. Definitely a 5 star for me.

5. Overall summary of your reading month?
I did better than last month. I am no longer behind on my goal for the year, but I did reduce it by a few.

I made a quick detour from my plan and read A Match Made for Thanksgiving (Holidays with the Wongs #1) by Jackie Lau. I needed a quick holiday read since I worked on Thanksgiving.

I finished reading A Match Made for Thanksgiving by Jackie Lau, 3 ★. A nice quick romance for the holiday. Here's my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Holidays with the Wongs by Jackie Lau

I finished reading 2 books the other day.

Thanks, Jonetta. I don't see that happening any time soon, but at least I'm starting to feel unto reading again. Stress can really make reading hard.

I am really enjoying it. It's humorous and intense.
