Jenny, I'm not quite sure what you mean by #4? Sorry :)

No Worries, Brenda. I am going to remove #4 - I think it does not really fit the challenge. My idea was - Each month read a book that the title includes two letters - for example

JA N UAR Y - Six Ways to Su N da Y
FE BR UARY - Chrissy and the B ur R oughs Boy

Oh I see :) My other question with your title - do all the books we read for this challenge have to be recommended to us?

Due to a beautiful lady who provides me with great titles too read - mine will be all recommendations. However, Brenda, if you could ensure that one book is recommended to you, is acceptable. Brenda, you can use books that are given to you by Publishers and NetGalley. The recommended book does not have to be Romantic Suspense. I will provide you with a recommendation to read Judgement by Carey Baldwin, Please contact me if you have any other questions. :)

LOL!! OK thanks Jenny :)

I've got "Have You Seen Her" ordered. I am into my 7th book on the preliminary judging round for RWA RITA awards. I find it tough to read outside my chosen genre to be honest. The Best - Rory

Rory - are you one of the Judges? Have you got any recommendation for me of an International romantic suspense author that I have not read before?

Finished my first March - Romantic Suspense - Dark in Death by J.D. Robb
