Thanks for your ratings, Kristine. On your lists, I see some of the e-freebies I've gotten. I don't usually expect them to be better than 2 stars, so it's nice to see that I'm correct, or that the book could be better than I think.

Also... WOW at the number of books!! You're online to read almost 300 books this year. You go, lady!!

You're welcome, Karen! Most of the e-freebies I have gotten have been pretty decent, there have been a few duds but we can't like everything even if we want to...I know I do. :)

I start slacking in recording my books read as the year goes on - terrible I know - so let's see how far I can get this year. :)

I've done the same. One just gets busy with the day to day and recording here takes a back seat. I'm trying to be better, too. What saves me is that I do record what I read in a spreadsheet. If I miss a few months here, I copy/paste the book information, then format and add comments. It still takes some doing, but at least I'm not starting from scratch or trying to remember what I read when. (At least part of my life is semi-organized!)

73. Murder À La Flambé 5/5 stars
74. Whack Job 5/5 stars I love this series!
75. Party Crashers 3/5 stars
76. Blueburied Muffins 5/5 stars

You have given me a lot of new series to check out.
