Beth  (canadianbeth) | 248 comments Currently reading Outside the Law by Michelle Karl on my Kobo. I have pick up three books waiting for me at the library to pick up tomorrow but am going to put two of them back since I no longer really want to read them.

So I will just get I've Got My Eyes on You by Mary Higgins Clark unless Storm Front (Montana Rescue, #5) by Susan May Warren is there as well, as I see it is now in transit.

Still waiting for the library to get ] Called to Protect (Blue Justice #2) by Lynette Eason The Cost of Betrayal by Dee Henderson and A Secret to Die For by Lisa Harris

Hidden Peril (Code of Honor #2) by Irene Hannon and Burden of Proof (FBI Rapid Response, #1) by DiAnn Mills are out this coming week and the library has them on order, but given how slow they are to get these books, I do not expect to see them this year.

Caitlyn Santi | 84 comments I'm currently reading: True Devotion (Uncommon Heroes #1) by Dee Henderson Thrive Digging Deep, Reaching Out by Mark Hall

I will be reading these four review books: The Christmas Heirloom Four Holiday Novellas of Love Through the Generations by Karen Witemeyer Delayed Justice (Hidden Justice #3) by Cara C. Putman Stratagem by Robin Caroll Mark of the Raven (The Ravenwood Saga, #1) by Morgan L. Busse

Beyond that I definitely plan to read more books but I'm not sure which ones yet.


message 4: by Beth (new)

Beth (bbulow) | 2403 comments Holding loosely to my plans again, but we'll see...

Currently reading:
To Win Her Heart by Karen Witemeyer Shelter of the Most High (Cities of Refuge, #2) by Connilyn Cossette The Southern Belle Brides Collection by Lauralee Bliss

Plan on reading:
The Christmas Heirloom Four Holiday Novellas of Love Through the Generations by Karen Witemeyer Romancing the Bride (Frontier Vows #1) by Melissa Jagears Sons of Blackbird Mountain (Blackbird Mountain, #1) by Joanne Bischof

Other than that, not sure what I'll have time to get to. :)


message 5: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (lizr8900) | 243 comments I’m currently working on: Shelter of the Most High (Cities of Refuge, #2) by Connilyn Cossette and The Hero of Ages (Mistborn, #3) by Brandon Sanderson
I’ll be reading Jerusalem's Queen A Novel of Salome Alexandra (The Silent Years, #3) by Angela Elwell Hunt for review and other than that a few I’d like to get to are Royally in Trouble (An Enchanted Events Mystery Book 2) by Jenny B. Jones My Hands Came Away Red by Lisa McKay A Loyal Heart (An Uncertain Choice, #4) by Jody Hedlund More Than Meets the Eye (Patchwork Family, #1) by Karen Witemeyer Frostbite and A Dance With Dragons


message 6: by Beth (new)

Beth  (canadianbeth) | 248 comments Caitlyn - is Stratagem part of the Darkwater series or a standalone? I had Darkwater Inn on my list of books to request but changed my mind and will not be requesting any more series books until they are all published. Waiting a year or more between them has me forgetting the plot and the characters. Same with the Lavender Tides series. I read book 1 but book 3 is not out until January, and who knows how long after that the library will get it? So I will wait to even request book 2. Because of that, I may not even read two of the books I am picking up tomorrow because it is 17 months since I read the first one.

Also, Only by Death and A Treacherous Mix, which are *still* just on order are books 2 and 3 in a series that had book 1 published (and read) five years ago. I have long since forgotten anything about it and may just cancel the request, or take book 1 from the library again to refresh my memory.

message 7: by Caitlyn (new)

Caitlyn Santi | 84 comments Hi, Beth! As far as I can tell Stratagem is a standalone. It doesn't look to me like it is listed either on Goodreads or Amazon as being part of a series, nor does it mention that it's part of a series in the Netgalley copy that I have, so I'm assuming it's a standalone! I have not read Darkwater Secrets, either, but I completely understand what you mean! Stratagem releases November 1st and I think Darkwater Secrets just released in the last few months so I would assume they wouldn't be releasing a second book in the series this soon, but I can't say for certain either way. I don't really follow this author's books that closely and I'm sorry I can't give a definitive answer, but I hope this helps at least a little! I look forward to reading Stratagem as it sounds like a really interesting and unique storyline! 🙂

message 24: by Karin (new)

Karin | 44 comments I read The Heart Between Us: Two Sisters, One Heart Transplant, and a Bucket List even though I don't read much romance, so am looking forward to the discussion next month. I do wish we had more variety and perhaps not two romance novels per month here, though, but evidently I am in the minority :) !!!


message 25: by Meg (new)

Meg Perin I was recommended a new author by our local librarian, Ann Gabhart novel, The Innocent, and I enjoyed it, because it was about the Shaker Society in Kentucky, which is very different from the Amish communities of Pennsylvania that I also enjoy reading. This book piqued my interest so I am now reading another book by Ann Gabhart called, The Outsider, which is also proving to be an interesting read.


message 26: by Missy (new)
