Oh, I'm so excited what will be the next challenge!

[Helen]

I've added my second challenge book to the list above.

[Jeanne]

Ahhhhhhhh . . . finished the last book in the August mini challenge. Only have the last of the August serial challenge (a Domestic Diva book) to go.

[Hilary (A Wytch's Book Review), Co-Moderator, Featured Series]

Woo hoo!

[Gary]

Just finished my last serial read this morning and moved the remaining books for this challenge onto my currently reading shelf.

[Gary]

I am down to the last 50 pages on my 4th book for this month. Also have 9% read of the 5th. I am in good shape to finish before months end.

[Marisa]

I've read 4 books till this moment and I'm reading the fifth one. I don't know if I will read all, but perhaps.

[Sharon]

Oh, the irony. I pick a book set in Oklahoma (What the Cat Saw)! thinking it would be hot. But it's winter. Then I pick a book set in Canada, and it's summer. So for my hot weather and fourth book, I have finished A Rule Against Murder by Louise Penny.

[Marisa]

I've got for Northern Hemisphere... and it has gone to summer :D

[Anna Catharina]

Some days ago I finished my sixth and last book. I didn't expect to be able to complete all tasks, but now I'm done! Thank you all for the great challenge :)
I updated msg #25

[Jess]

Last book to go and I'm positive I can complete the challenge as I still have 4 days to go.
Had to change some books I picked due to library availability etc. but having a good fun doing this challenge. Thanks!

[Sharon]

I finished my dog book this morning, thanks to the lovable French bulldog Oliver in Murder, Served Simply by Isabella Alan.

[Julesy]

Congratulations, Anna Catharina and Sharon!

[Sharon]

I just finished my sixth book! I updated Msg. 47 with the details. Looking forward to starting Follow the Clues this weekend.

[Marisa]

Congrats, Ana Catharina! Congrats, Sharon!

[Jess]

Yay! I finished as well. After two days, starting the new challenge.

Congrats all who completed, including myself ;)

[Marisa]

Congrats, Jess!

[Julesy]

Congratulations, Jess!

[Anne Louise]

Haven't completed, by any stretch. But did read not one, but two books with dogs: and .

And don't know if this counts, but title-wise sounds good: .

Hope you don't mind me playing when I don't spend a lot of time here. Trying to rectify that. It's a little easier for me to look at the challenge and figure out what fits from what I've already read, if that makes sense.

Everyone is welcome to play Anne. Looking forward to more comments from you.

The MC in Jane Isenberg's series is a woman going through menopause. Hot and Bothered refers to hot flashes. I think the book takes place during the fall.

[Gary]

5 down. 1 day to finish my final book.

[Julesy]

Today is the last day of the month and I am on my last book (book #5) for this challenge. I won't be able to finish it today so officially, I have finished 4 out of 6. See message #9 .

[Helen]

I finished my third for this challenge just in time, and posted it above.

[Marisa]

Congrats, Julesy (well, almost there 😉)! Congrats, Helen!

[Gary]

Finished just under the wire. Phew.

[Anna Catharina]

Hey Julie,

I wasn't sure if you were aware that this is an old challenge, 2 years old, and it's been archived.

This is the current challenge that is going on for summer 2019:
Agatha Christie challenge.
