Nice list, Jonetta!

I was wondering about the new Julie James. She said it isn't in the FBI/US Attorney series, but from the description it clearly is. Strange!

[Jonetta]

Thank you! I'm so weary of James playing games with these books. She won't allow it to be added to the series...claims it's a standalone but it is clearly part of this series. She makes the librarians disconnect it when added. As far as I'm concerned, it's #7.

[Tracey]

Hope you have a good month Jonetta. I am hoping to get to The Fix this month as well.

[Jonetta]

Thanks, Tracey.

[Veronica]

Some great books to choose from - new Sebastian, Amos Decker, Graveyard Queen. The hard part is deciding what to read first!

[Jonetta]

Exactly, Veronica! I just finished my audiobook and it was tough choosing what next. Such a good problem.

[Mary Beth]

I am reading The Awakening and Never Let You Go also this month. I have the book All the Ugly and Wonderful Things and would love to see what you think of it if you can fit it in. I can totally understand if you don't with all those great books on your list.

[Amie]

I hope you enjoy your month, Jonetta!
