2016 Autumn Challenge

[Carla]

Nice job Marissa. Again, some authors I will need to check out.

[Carla]

So it was a tough month for me, my husband passed away on November 20th so I have not been on here very much. I just looked over the last few posts and see many people have completed their challenge, or are up for more words over the last week or so.

Congratulations Linda, Karen, Julesy, and Heather. Some great choices of books. Also, you go Trish and keep reading!

[Marisa, Cozy Mysteries Assistant Moderator]

Sorry to hear about your husband, Carla! Tough moments, for sure, but I hope they are brighter in the near future! Hugs and prayers to you.
