Thanks Juli! I am moving along, I still have about 10 completed books to post too. I'm hoping to get that done by the weekend. I am pretty stingy with my 5 star ratings. The book has to check all the boxes for me. Last year I had 6 out of 155 books.

I bought all of Jasmine Guillory's books from local bookstores during this whole pandemic and I look forward to reading them! I even pre-ordered the new one that comes out next week! Woot!

I've wanted to read The Snow Child for so long! I kind of want to hold off longer because I already read my "I" author for this year...lol. Silly, I know, but there really aren't that many authors with "I" last name!

Oops, looks like you have Carnegie's Maid twice! 75 and 76.

Look at you, only 18 books to go till 100 and we're only halfway through the year!

I'm enjoying the Jasmine Guillory's books, it is a fun story. My only issue with these kinds of series is that I wish they weaved in the past series characters a little more.

The Snow Child was very good!

I figured out the book that should have been where one of the Carnegie's maids was. Thank you so much! I'm so glad that was caught before I added too many more books.

I just added another bunch of books. I think I will hit 100 this month. I'm on a huge roll this year!
