Connie N.’s Comments (group member since Sep 03, 2013)

Connie N.’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Beth wrote: "2013 is going to be hard because that was when I was in my huge mystery phase and I'm more into romance/contemporary currently. Still plenty of time! "

That's exactly the problem I'm having! But I'm not willing to cut too many of the books I added then, so I'm planning to get to them eventually. This challenge is a good incentive.

Got another one done. In the review of Series #2, I commented that I liked this series and would continue. But then it took me 5 whole years to get to Series #3!

Wrangled and Tangled by Lorelei James - 3/11/19 ♥♥♥♥ (Added 3/20/14)

Another one off the list. Not sure why it took me so long to continue with this series. I laughed out loud through much of it.

Unplugged by Lois Greiman - 3/3/19 ♥♥♥♥ (12/29/13)

I finished another one. It was a fun cozy mystery, added when I first joined GR and was adding lots of first-in-series books.
