Most of the time that is how I choose a book. Much easier than choosing something from my long list of “to read”. Unless the library gifts me with a bunch of books at once. Which does happen. 😁

I’d love to read that!

Laura wrote: "Geri, have you read A Dead and Stormy Night? It’s an RH cozy! I recommend it. :)"

I had no idea there was an RH cozy! Thank you!

Wow, so many recs to look at! I did notice some are cozy mystery . I will check those out.

I finished my second book. I am updating the spreadsheet.

I found an O name in a book I started. So I shuffled it to fit an O in the spreadsheet. I am thinking O might be our difficult letter this round. Even more than Z. I know most of us prepare for letters like Q, X, Z. We will probably have enough. 🤞

No problem. I’ll look up the authors to see if they have anything else I can read.

And now I will start a book! It was 3 hours between finishing my last before Wheel started. It was rough! :)

Do you like Lucy Kincaid series? My library has them all. I may start there.

Thanks! She has written a lot of books. I didn’t know where to start!

OK. I’ll search for a Brennan book! But not until Wheel starts. I’ll be tempted to start. And I can’t. No more books for a few hours!

Okay, I’m done. It was an entertaining read. It wasn’t what I expected. But the ending did surprise me. I wish Cate had pursued acting. I have a soft spot for books on film sets, making a movie etc.. The romance was light. But I suppose this was meant to be a light summer read. I agree it definitely wasn’t romantic suspense. Too much telling and not enough getting to know the characters. I do need to find a romantic suspense since that is what I am in the mood for!

Just a few hours before Wheel starts! Are you ready?

Oh, I recognize a couple of authors in the reverse harem anthology. Let me know what you think of it. I have some reverse harem books I will be reading for the challenge. Book 1 in a variety of series. Trying to find more I like.

It great that you are sharing the joy of HP with your daughter!

Britta wrote: "Starts at midnight for me so I probably won't get much reading done today but then there's a whole weekend at least!

What book is everyone starting with?"

I usually read 2 or 3 books at a time. 😀 I love variety. I’ll start with a book that will work for 2 challenges, Easy Charm and one I have been wanting to read for a while House of Earth and Blood.

So ready!

Not a problem, Laura! Here’s my wheel shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

Well, I made it through chapter 20 today. I am a little disappointed. I was hoping for more thrill and suspense. The writing is keeping the story too surface-y. I’d like to follow Cate’s mother and Cate’s abductor in prison more. I am assuming things will happen with them. As far as Cate’s old boyfriend, (view spoiler)[ Do you think Noah was beaten up by men that Sparks in prison sent? I am thinking so. (hide spoiler)] You may have already finished. If so, no need to answer. And Cate’s mother. What a terrible person! 😁

What do you think of the romance? I will finish tomorrow!

Do we need to post our wheel shelf link? I have had to do that in the past.

Thank goodness I saw your post, Alysa! I hadn’t checked the countdown clock. I was thinking I would start Saturday. But actually I can start tomorrow 4 pm my time.😀
