Good Night, Mr. Wodehouse by Faith Sullivan Good Night, Mr. Wodehouse -- Finished 1Q23 and really liked it! I frankly admit I picked this up because I love P. G. Wodehouse and was curious about his role in this book. But I wound up adding much of the rest of this author to my TBR because I liked the story so much!

The Widow by Kaira Rouda The Widow Workmanlike domestic suspense/thriller. I liked it, but it wasn't a standout book for me.

Ten Dead Comedians A Murder Mystery by Fred Van Lente Ten Dead Comedians: A Murder Mystery **Finished**

The Whispers of War by Julia Kelly The Whispers of War**Finished**

Truth and Other Lies by Maggie Smith Truth and Other Lies**Finished**

The Secret Ingredient by Nancy Naigle The Secret Ingredient**Finished**

Hotel Portofino by J.P. O'Connell Hotel Portofino**Finished**

Sister Stardust by Jane Green Sister Stardust

Brooklyn Supreme by Robert Reuland Brooklyn Supreme**Finished**

The School for German Brides by Aimie K. Runyan The School for German Brides**Finished**

Pay Dirt Road (Annie McIntyre, #1) by Samantha Jayne Allen Pay Dirt Road Read 2Q23. More compelling than I expected it to be, and the author is smart for her age, which I really like. I'll be keeping this author and series on my radar.

Matrix by Lauren Groff Matrix

Kill All Your Darlings by David Bell Kill All Your Darlings**Finished**

The Women's March A Novel of the 1913 Woman Suffrage Procession by Jennifer Chiaverini The Women's March: A Novel of the 1913 Woman Suffrage Procession **Finished**

Sisters Behaving Badly by Maddie Please Sisters Behaving Badly**Finished**

Interesting list. I haven't read any of them. I did see Hotel Portofino on PBS earlier this year and liked it a lot. Will be interested to see what you think about the book.

Lea (leaspot) | 3636 comments I love your lists, Jennifer! I always love lists where I haven't read any of the books on them. And all these books look really good. Hopefully you've found my next reading list. :-)

Even if they don’t, I’m in the “excitement” phase of the five phases of the annual challenge, so I won’t notice.

Logically that's wrong, but emotionally that's absolutely right!! And I have the empty wallet to prove it.

Well, Alondra, I was completely willing to go with your prediction, but here I am doing my mid-year update and it turns out this is the list I've made the least progress on, although I'm partly through a third title and a fourth is coming up this week later.
