Just finished The Governess Affair. Three stars.

Hi Romanticbookworm, I just finished my first pick for the month, and it was part of a series from which you recommended Cooking Spirits. In this challenge we are allowed to read the book in the series that we are on, and in this Joanne Pence series, I am only on To Catch a Cook , so I read that one. It was really good!
Thank you!

Now on to another one!

Instead of Memory in Death I read book 10 [book:Loyalty in Death as this is the book in the series I am currently up to 3 stars.

Insomnia sucks! But it does help get some reading done... 🤷🏻‍♀️

Here are your picks. I hope you find some good reading from these."

I have finished my first read and made it a newbie as it was free. 4 stars for and I will definitely be continuing on with the series.

I'm hoping to get one or two more read this month.

Hi Romanticbookworm,
I just finished two more from the list and they were both excellent. A Catskill Eagle (My copy didn't have the eagle on the front - lol.) - The story of a detective who risks his life for the woman he loves. Holy Island - The beginning of a new mystery series in which the detective finds a new lady love where he least expects it.

There is at least one more I hope to get done by month's end, and many more I will read in the future. Thanks for the good picks.

Fran,

So far I've just read this one and enjoyed it. Thanks!

Thanks for my picks. I was able to get two in this month. I enjoyed both of them.

[Jamie - The Bookish Attitude]

My September.
Demon Slayer 05/09 Holding on to Forever (I actually ended up with an ARC) 13/09 A Pizza My Heart 14/09 Huntress 15/09 Well Suited 15/09 Burn for Me 16/09 A Fistful of Evil 21/09 Bet Me 22/09 The Deal 22/09 City of the Lost 26/09

Perfect I was on massive Cecelia kick when I added this to my shelf, but at about chapter 8 I realised her YA books aren't for me, so it ended up being a DNF.

Hi Carrie!
