I think there is another book coming from the author in the Deadwood series.

[Jennifer]

Don't Let it Snow in Deadwood just came out: i haven't seen anything yet about an 11th. In any event, it won't be out before February ends so i can have the comfort of feeling caught up, anyway! :)

[Sharon]

Pat, I think Rhys Bowen's audio books are Amazon exclusives. I usually read hers, but I treated myself to an audio book at Christmas and I could only find it there. Sorry if that messes you up. (I usually check the library for audio books before I put them in my picks.)

Wow it slipped out without my seeing it. I added the sample on my Nook as a place holder.

I could not find her books on audiobooks so I ordered them from thriftbooks.
Only reason I wanted audiobooks cause I am counted cross stitching a project plus crocheting a granny square blanket.

[Gary]

Started my first book, The Sound of Murder by Cindy Brown

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

Book number one for the month read and enjoyed (Freshly Ground Murder by Tonya Kappes ) and number two started!

Four hours later and Cold Blooded Brew by Tonya Kappes is finished as well!

[Marina]

My first book is read.

[Pat]

I have ordered Rhys Bowen books thru thriftbooks today.

My used bookstore and the library did not have any Rhys Bowen books.

[Meg]

Have completed my first series read, Small Town Shock, set in a tiny village in Lincolnshire.

[Jennifer]

Finished my first one: . This is such a fun series.

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

I decided to continue and finish the Killer Coffee series (I am hoping there will be more!) so I also read Decaffeinated Scandal by Tonya Kappes

[Jeanne]

Finished my first Feb. book - Every Trick in the Rook by Marty Wingate. Glad to get back to this as there is only one more book in this series (at least for now).

[Gary]

Finished my first book of the month. I will probably start the second this weekend.
A really enjoyable series.

[Gary]

That is the next book in the series for me.

I really need to get back to that series. So many books, so little time.

It's a good one! You'll like it.

Finished my second book for February! It's possibly the first time I've gotten done so early in the month. Good reads!

[Michelle]

Finished both books!!!

[Jeanne]

Finished my second book.

[Gary]

14% of the way into my second book.

[Jennifer]

finished my second book . For whatever reason i wound up reading this series out of order but am enjoying it anyway. On to another!

[Pat]

I have finally received my order from thriftbooks. So I started reading Naughty in Nice by Rhys Bowen.

[Jennifer]

Oh, I read that in the last couple of months. It’s a good one, Pat!

[Pat]

I am never disappointed in Rhys Bowen books. I just wish I could find her more places like used bookstore and library.

Thriftbooks usually has her books but this time I had to wait almost a week before I got my books that I ordered.

Usually when I order anything from thriftbooks, I get them in 3 to 5 days.

I finish Naughty in Nice and starting the next book.

[Pat]

I have finished Naughty and Nice. I have not received the Crowned and Dangerous yet from thriftbooks.

I know next month not to pick this series. Very hard to find Rhys Bowen's books.

I received the Crowned and Dangerous book yesterday. Should be finish by the end of today.

[Sharon]

I got through my February books in short order. The Granny's Got a Gun series is a hoot. Sadly, my library only has the first two. I plan to ask for more.

Happy to hear this, Sharon. Love funny books. I've had the first one on my TBR mountain for quite awhile and really hope to get to it sometime in the near future.

[Jennifer]

Finished -- on to

[Cynthia]

I finished my first book. I didn't really like it, though. Good plot, pretty good/decent supporting characters, and the cakes sounded good. It was the main character/protagonist. By the last few wrap-up chapters I found myself really disliking her. I'd rather not read the second one. At least just not so soon. Here's to a quickly approaching March.

[Jennifer]

Started

[Pat]

I finally finished my second book Crowned and Dangerous.

[Jennifer]

Finished and . I'm down to one left in this series: think i'll save that for later. :)

[Gary]

Finished my second book. More screwy fun with Ivy Meadows.

[Marina]

I'm working on my second book now. I hope to have it finished by tonight. Just under the wire. 😊
