Yay! Lily Morton has become one of my very favorite authors over this past year. I can’t wait to get started on this one.

My kindle says I have a little over two hours left on my book - I know I'll finish it this evening and I'll post my completion as soon as I've got it done. I hate to hold you guys up - audiobooks are so much faster for me than reading. 💐

[Barbara ★]

Sorry Trio, I didn't even look to see how many pages the book I recommended had. My apologies. Though I hope it's a good one at least.

no, not a problem! I just feel bad because you both read so much faster than me... and it is a "race" challenge lol.
I finished it though, and it was wonderful!

I'm glad you liked it Trio. Roan Parrish has been hit or miss for me, but this one sounds pretty good. I love animal stories, especially with dogs. I wonder if this one is lendable...

[AliciaJ]

It's not out yet--oh well. Got to wait a couple more months.

Here is your next task:

17. Read 4 3 books that are stand alones.

The books you choose can not be listed in a series on GR.

yes, this one was super sweet and pretty low angst. Did you like The Remaking of Corbin Wale?

I haven’t read this one yet. I just looked at the reviews, it sounds awesome. I’ve added this one to my list too.

[AliciaJ]

So I'm going to read Rebound by Andrew Grey. It's not part of a series.

I *adored* this story! Garrett Leigh pretty much always writes wonderful books, but there was just that extra something special about these characters that grabbed me. Hope you liked it too! 😍

[Trio]

I did Alicia! I did the audio version and Dan Calley adds so much emotion to these guys - it was wonderful.

I'll have to pick it up on audible next month when my credit comes in.

[Barbara ★]

Sorry guys. Standalone is probably the hardest thing for me to find. I finally found one that I own and will read it tomorrow.

[Trio]

no worries Barbara - I was very lucky to have that Garrett Leigh book!
