2-3-4 Challenge discussion

Fall is definitely in the air, even in So Cal. Time to break out the rake to deal with the ton of leaves falling from the 3 story cottonwood tree next door.

Time for a Mexican cruise, too. Fun with friends on a 4-day trip. On our full day in Ensenada, we are going to visit friends who retired down there.

Halloween and fun with my ghoul and goblin grandkids.

GO DODGERS!!!

I was eyeing that Janie Crouch book also. Have you read her before? I have a few but have not.

Wish I was young on a cruise. It's in my bucket list. Enjoy your reading

I've read several books by Janie Crouch and like her a lot. Her books are more suspense, but have a romance element.

They are a lot of fun. We've done two and I really love them. You can be as active or as lazy as you want.

I've heard this one is more spicy then her others.

I hope that's true. I'm a little behind with my ARC's and look forward to reading Janie's new one.

Enjoy your cruise and your reading, Anita!

Have a great cruise and enjoy your books!

Thank you!

Have a wonderful trip! Your list looks great!

Thank you Sharmon.

Have fun on your cruise Anita.

No phone or internet, unless you want to pay an extra $10 per day. I'll be out of touch. Lucky that my two best friends and hubbies are going too. I'm sure we can keep each other entertained without getting into to much mischief, maybe.

My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

You’ve quite the ARC list this month and they look interesting!

Enjoy your month.

The Katie Ruggle and Nicole Helm books are each part of a series, so I've been reading the other books and am really far behind with all the ARC's. The rest are all by authors I really like.
