Some of these I need to read also, partiuclarly Claudia Birney books. I hope you like From Harvey River. I think Kinky Gazpacho will appeal to you on a global level. Curious to hear your thoughts.

I’ve got a few of the same books on my TBR list and a couple in my physical pile. I’m also catching up on Claudia’s books. I’ve got to get Death, Deceit, & Some Smooth Jazz in before the third book in the Amanda Bell series, Deadly Charm, shows up in March.

And that’s just the ones that were on your list! LOL! Fortunately, some of them are on my challenge list, so I will get to them in the next few weeks, but I’m not sure when I’ll get to the others, which is why the challenge has been great for me! I guess it’s a good problem to have right now! Things could be a whole lot worse!
Jessica…lol…I hear you sis…it’s a good problem to have.
Guys,
I promise all of you are going to enjoy Claudia Mair Burney’s stories. Part III comes out in March. Are you’ll going to mix these books in with your challenges for the year?
