Cynthia - I gave participants until the 24th (today) to make a selection for their partner. I am sending a reminder to Marianne.

btw - This is actually a January challenge.

[Marianne]

Cynthia sorry for the delay in choosing for you, my father passed away and goodreads on my phone app wouldn't work for me and had to wait until I was home on my laptop. My choice for you to read is the Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear
Maisie Dobbs
Birds of a Feather

Happy reading and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Marianne

I just finished my January challenge! I know it is only day three. My chosen books were only 182 pages each and were so enjoyable that I couldn’t put them down. I don’t work outside of the house so I have plenty of time on my hands. Last months challenge I actually finished on the last day of month. Anyhow The Kelly Jackson Mystery series by Janet Finsilver is a great read. I have already ordered book three and four. Ok, I’m off to accomplish all of my other reading challenges for the month!

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

Finished my first (Fatality by Firelight ) early this morning (err half past one!!)

[Marina]

Finished my first book . This series is really easy to read and I am enjoying it very much. I can't wait to continue it.

[Marina]

I am super excited that I am now done with my second book for this challenge . I am well into the third book in the series. I totally recommend them especially if you want a super fast read.

[Louise]

Finished very surreal, but fun.

[Sharon]

I finished mine, too. Quick reads. I had no idea the main character would be deaf but it didn't really slow her down. Looking forward to reading more later.

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

Finished my second one yesterday! Of Murder and Men by Lynn Cahoon

Good deal, Hil!

[Meg]

Congrats to all you fast finishers!

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

The Lynn Cahoon books are total page turners!

[Gary]

I will be finishing my first book today. Only 3 chapters remaining. I am really enjoying it.

[Anne]

I finished my first book today and I really liked it.

[Gary]

Really enjoyed that visit to Aloha Lagoon, even though I was about half a step ahead of the MC in figuring out who the killer was. I will start my second book soon.

[✨ Vittoria ✨]

Finished my first book, The Christie Curse , and really enjoyed it.

That's awesome, Pat. I thoroughly enjoy Michael Bennett! It's one of Patterson's better series (IMO). Glad you enjoyed them!

[Anne]

I have finished Aurora Teagarden books 7&8 and really enjoyed them.

[Jennifer]

Finished both my books: and am going for a third: . Glad to make headway on this series!

[Louise]

Finished my 2nd book

[Gary]

I moved my 2nd book of the month, Death of the Kona Man by Catherine Bruns to my Currently Reading shelf. I have only read the first 2 pages as I am about at the halfway point of The Man With a Load of Mischief by Martha Grimes and a little over a third of the way into The Pusher by Ed McBain.

[Marianne]

Finished both of my books for this months challenge

[Meg]

Congrats, Marianne, Louise, Jennifer, Ann, and all other finishers!

Finished my first today: Another One Bites the Crust

[Barbara]

I finished my books for this month, and I enjoyed them both. Thank you, Helen, for introducing me to a new series!

[Cynthia]

I finished my first book for this month.

[✨ Vittoria ✨]

Finished my second book for this month, The Sayers Swindle . I enjoyed this far less than the first one, actually...

[Gary]

Three chapters left on my second book for the month.. I should finish it this morning.

[Gary]

Finished my second book. As always an enjoyable visit to Aloha Lagoon. I am surprised tourists still go there given the murder rate.

[Meg]

All done for January! Another good one from H Y Hanna:

The Dough Must Go On

[Nell]

I started reading A Share in Death at the end of January and finished it a couple of days ago. Excellent first book in a series. It's been on my TBR for ages. Thanks for the nudge to read it, Gary.

[Helen]

I thought I’d reported my first finished book, , but can’t find a post. I was travelling for most of January, and spending time with friends, so both reading and online time was limited.
Just finished my second, .
I’ve decided that I only need Tamar Myers’ humour in small doses, so it will be a while before I return to this series.

Glad you enjoyed it. I keep meaning to get to book 2 in the series.

[Cynthia]

I forgot to post that I finished my second book. I think it was about a week before the end of January. Kept meaning to post the update; kept forgetting. Oops. Better late than never, right?
