1. Did you complete and/or get up to date in any series this month?

Yes. I did a re-read of Inn Boonsboro with the Nora Roberts groupies.

I’m up to date with Sebastian St. Cyr. I wish Harris released more than one book a year.

2. Did you start any new series? If so, what were they? Will you continue?

Yes, two
Joe Gunther and Beyond the Page Bookstore series.

I will continue. Joe Gunther. I’m not sure about Beyond the Page. It was a decent Cozy, but I don’t read many cozy mysteries.

I moved forward with a couple of our group reads, but not enough to brag about.

4. Have Any standout or 5-star books read? Why did you love it/them?

I had more than I expected with my very limited reading time last month.

Killers of a Certain Age. – A great premise. I love that these older women were so good at their job, even if it was killing.

Mercy and Killljoy by Julie Garwood. Both of these books kept me engaged and turning the pages, even when I wanted to sleep.

It took me until the middle of April, but I feel I’m back on my reading plan. I'm looking forward to May.
