Yes - I moved forward in the Stephanine Plum series by Janet Evanovich.

This was my only outstanding book this book, I just love the humor and the mystery to this series. It made me laugh many times which I needed!

I haven’t read all her earlier stuff so still have lots to read by her. It sucks when that happens with an author you like. Hopefully this book is much better.

You should try Carla Neggers earlier books, I enjoyed them.

Great list, jonetta. I see that you have in your list to read elin hildbrand. It says Erin instead of Elin and that made me smile so thanks.

Lauren wrote: "Lovely list, Viki!
I see you're at the beginning of Rizzoli and Isles. This is one of the best books in the series.
Enjoy!"

I am hoping to finally get to this book this month but we have to see.

Happy reading💜"

Thanks Jonetta. Finger crossed July’s reading is just as good as June.

You have three of my favourite authors on your list- Carla Neggers, Catherine coulter and Allison Brennan. Enjoy the books.

I see you are continuing the Cindy Gerard book. Enjoy. Enjoy all your books this month.

Good reading list. I am going to try and join in the book discussion of the book HIgh Noon, but we will see what happens.

It has been a while since I read Catherine Anderson. Have you read any other books by her? I use to read her books often but not as much. Amanda Quick is defintely an author I need to read again in the future.

For the last few years every time we go on vacation I read a Elin Hilderbrand book and I will only read her books on vacation, kind of a little tradition. Since we aren't going to go on vacation this year but we will go camping for 3 days so I thought I would still bring one of her books there.

Reading has really help me in June so hopefully it will help me just as much in July as I am going to need it.
