Jonetta’s Comments (group member since Nov 25, 2014)

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

I just checked...we started in 2019!!!! It was officially 3 years in May because we started with the Evil Trilogy and went back to the beginning.

Wow, Robin! That is definitely an adjustment. You must be glad to be back in your home, as nice as it is to spend time with parents at our age.

I missed the Lucy Kincaid comment you made, Melissa. I've been thinking about that often. Brennan says she hasn't ended the series but it's definitely on hiatus. Can you believe we've been reading this series for over 2 years????

Meanwhile, she's working on her other series. I highly recommend the Quinn & Costa series when we catch up. It's really good!

Seduction is another good one!

Thank you, Laura! FYI, I read those “prequels” last as they were written later. You can really skip, move on and come back to them.

I am SO happy for you, Melissa!!! Finding your happy place changes everything and it’s not a wonder that it’s impacted your reading experiences. And, congrats on your series progress, too.

I wish I’d been able to finish the Maas series we started as a group. You could see her writing improving with each story. Wonderful that you’ve continued.

Enjoy your reading, Laura! Fingers crossed you enjoy Reminders of Him.

Robin, for nine books read, you made some serious series progress this month. Congrats on that and enjoying what you read!

How the house project coming along?

Lauren wrote: "That's fantastic, Jonetta!
I have to wonder if not starting a new series is a good or a bad thing, lol!..."

You know, Lauren, even I was surprised that I hadn’t started a new series😏 That definitely won’t last!

Robin wrote: "Jonetta - It looks like you had a stellar month with all of those 5-star books and not a bad one in the bunch. Congratulations!"

Thank you, Robin! It was a wonderful reading month.

Hang in there! Glad it’s behind you.

Thank you, Lauren! It’s hard to put the book down in that series. Can’t believe I’ll finish this year.

1. Did you complete and/or get up to date in any series this month?
I got up to date in two series:
Bishop Securities by Debbie Baldwin
Sebastian St. Cyr by C. S. Harris

2. Did you start any new series? If so, what were they? Will you continue?
No.

3. Did you move forward in any series (that you didn’t complete or finish)? How many?
I moved forward in 6 series:
Lucy Kincaid by Allison Brennan
Kate Burkholder by Linda Castillo
Troubleshooters by Suzanne Brockmann
Tracy Crosswhite by Robert Dugoni
Colorado High Country by Pamela Clare
The Ravenels by Lisa Kleypas

4. Any standout or 5 star books read? Why did you love it/them?
I had a fantastic reading experience this month, with several standouts: The Trapped Girl, Past Purgatory, Marrying Winterborne, Take Me Higher and When Blood Lies. They were all stories I devoured and couldn’t put down.

5. Overall summary of your reading month?
I read 16 books this month but, most importantly, highly enjoyed every one of them. I can’t remember a better month like this. And, I again struck a balance between standalones and series reading. It was a good time.

Wow, Lauren, another great month! Congrats on everything.

Thank you, Anita!

Six Graves

OMG when it dawned on mean the meaning of the prologue after reading the first chapter, I had a heart attack. Loved it."

I cannot wait. Might listen to it next.

I finished:

When Blood Lies by C.S. Harris, Sebastian St. Cyr #17, and it’s an historical fiction and mystery masterpiece.

Shamed by Linda Castillo, Kate Burkholder #11, and it kept me on the edge as child abductions do.
my review


I’m reading Bound to Fall by Pamela Clare and listening to Nightwork by Nora Roberts.

I finished listening to Shamed

Woo hoo!

I finished When Blood Lies and have created discussion questions for those interested. It’s in the first group with the rest of the books in the series.
