I finished listening to:Make It Out Alive by Allison Brennan, Quinn & Costa #7, and it’s my favorite in the series to date.
my review
Keeper of Lost Children by Sadeqa Johnson and it’s an extraordinary view of racism from several unique points of view here and in post-war Germany.

March Reading Challenge - A Lion in Winter?
Duration: 3/1/26 - 3/31/26
Level:
Progress: 0/?
Children run through the streets in their Halloween costumes, giggling happily, not noticing the blood on the house is real. A baby girl is tucked up asleep in her room. Her mother’s body lies motionless in the front yard, pink petals on the ground beside her…Arriving in the quiet community of Mulberry Creek, Special Agent Nikki Hunt is shocked that amongst the chaos of costumes and fake, silver spider webs, a new mother called Kiania Watson has lost her life. A blooming rare flower placed carefully in her cold, bound hands. Nikki’s legs go weak: it’s the mark of a serial killer she’s met before.
Nine years ago, Nikki fell in pursuit of a masked man who’d killed a young girl at a cabin in rural Minnesota. Seeing her cradling the bump of her pregnant belly, he’d spared her life. She was told he’d died in a shoot-out days later. But the pink flower only grows at that cabin: it’s a message to Nikki.
Nikki’s team are quick to suspect Kiania’s abusive husband. But Nikki finds two further, similar murders in other states. Flowers were left in their palms when they died. Nikki’s heart breaks when she realizes all the victims were mothers to newborn babies.
Digging desperately into old case files, Nikki finds blood on a rock she secured nine years ago, which has never been tested. But not before receiving a desperate call that another woman has just been taken. This twisted killer is playing a deadly game, and Nikki must risk her own life if she has any chance of returning this mother to her child alive…

Rather than seeing that as a sunset, I’m seeing it as as subtle shift towards something new.
I finished:Her Last Breath by Taylor Adams and it had me holding my breath for most of the book.
my review
It's Not Her by Mary Kubica and this is a mind bender.
my review
Lady Elizabeth’s Winter Stranger by Anna Campbell, A Mayfair Holiday Romance #2, and it’s a delightful holiday romance.

I wish I could remember what I said, but I cannot, so I just will not comment any more. I thought I had put spoiler tags around all the comments that might have been spoilers, but maybe not..."I’ll put it in a spoiler tag.

I finished listening to:The Austen Affair by Madeline Bell and it’s a delightful fusion of modern and historical romance.
my review
Adrift by Will Dean and while it’s bleak, it’s also realistic and a cautionary story.
my review
I finished listening to:Dear Debbie by Freida McFadden and it’s wild and crazy good!
my review
Anatomy of an Alibi by Ashley Elston and she’s now two for two with me.
my review
Grace & Henry's Holiday Movie Marathon by Matthew Norman and this tender story stole my heart.
my review
Kate, I had to delete your comment because it contained a major spoiler.
I finished listening to:In His Wake by Chad Zunker and he’s sealed himself onto my list of auto read authors.
my review
Loon Point by Carrie Classon and it’s a lovely, poignant debut novel.
my review
Second Act Romance by Julie Soto, Improbable Meet Cute: Second Chances #3, and I love the backstage theater stuff more than the romance.

Discussion questions posted!
I finished: Free Falling by Jill Shalvis, Colburn Brothers #2, and loved this even more than the first book.
my review
Stolen in Death by J.D. Robb, In Death #62, and after all these books I still managed to be blown away.

I’ve visualized that bed to be huge. It’s at least a family bed.
