2. The Quinn Brothers

Truly I got most of this done because Nora's books are now on Scribd and they didn't throttle my reading this month so I knocked so many off the list and I'm loving it. I'm loving being able to clean up this shelf of books and can't wait to see what else I get done. I'm so excited to share with you my thoughts on these books especially because many are backlist books and from the late 80s and early 90s.  

How has your reading year been so far?? Getting anything done on your 2022 reading goals?? Share in the comments so we can all cheer you on!!

See you in the next one

Happy reading my loves

  

2020 Nora Roberts/ JD Robb Reading Challenge (Master Post)

Good Morning My loves

Here's another round of books I get to pull from for the year. Nora Roberts has over 90 books on her shelf in my library and I would really like to take at least 10 off this list. There are several stand-alone and a few series as well I would like to work on. Last year I began the year with a big reading burst with Nora's books then nothing until the end of the year where I marathoned some of the JD books. I need to be a little more consistent especially because despite saying no more purchases for her shelf I still managed to pick up a few. Totally defeated the purpose of the challenge, but this year is a clean slate and another chance to be better.

 As I read I'll update and strike the titles completed
