Nell,

I have not started my October books yet, so I am backing out for this month. But don't count me out me entirely for December yet. I love Christmas books, so I might be back in. It has been fun and I did find some very good books to read. I have to see how my other reads are going. Because of this group and the many reviews I have written and the authors I have connected with I have so many books on my TBR that I am overwhelmed.

I might need to drop out of our group altogether. But I will continue to look at the books each month to see if I have the time to read them.

It has been fun.

Thank you for all your help.

Mary

Consider this a pressure-free zone. Each month it's up to you whether to participate in this challenge. Glad to hear you've enjoyed it so far and have found good books to read. We set a goal to read two books but know that some months we have more time to read than in others. We hope to see your Christmas book list.

Happy reading
Nell

Mary, I backed out all summer (July, August and September) because I wasn't going to be able to read the books, I've come back in October, and December will see... Don't feel pressure, set your pace.

[Tina]

What I love about this challenge is that I'm discovering many more cozy/mystery series that I hadn't heard of before (and adding them to my TBR). Of course, that's not helping my huge TBR, but it is providing me with lots of reading options.
