I'm probably going to be the same thing :)

[Katherine]

Managed to get a hard letter out of the way

[jaxnsmom]

Yay! I think I should go with some of the harder ones sooner. The, when it looks like time's running out, I'll have easy letters to look for.

Finally got around to updating after a busy few months

[Katherine]

On the Rocks: A Novel by Erin Duffy is not a mystery but it is a great book. I highly recommend it- good beach read- and for anyone who has gone through a break up in the Facebook era

[Katherine]

6 more to go- any recommendations for Q, U, V, or Y?

[jaxnsmom]

Q - Spencer Quinn's Chet and Bernie series is great. First book is Dog on It.
