#130 The Gate of the Ferral Gods by Matt Dinnaman. Book 4 and i found this bubble level more confusing than the trains... Carl has lost it. #2026readingchallenge #booksky

#129 Sugar Cookies and Siren by Danielle Garrett. This is a little novela...2.5 around valentines day. I love that they solved a caper not a murder! I have said i wish more books would do that! #2026readingchallenge #booksky

#128 Only Skein Deep by Maggie Sexton. I had taken a break on this small Colorado series around a yarn shop and Kelly. But she had a bavy and solved a murder! #2026readingchallenge #booksky

#127 Title Wave by Lorna Barrett. Trish and Angelica have family drama and solve murders. I want to go to this town. #2026readingchallenge #booksky

From a modest initial 12-book challenge to a 20-book challenge completed in nine months, I think my desire to read more this year has been relatively successful

#126 Destroyer Angel by Nevada Barr. Poor Anna Pidgeon has been thru it!! I am not sure how we move on? This was 3 years after the last one... but? #2026readingchallenge #booksky

#125 Antarchists Cookbook by Matt Dinnaman. Book 3 and floor 4. Lots of crazy stuff happening here. Still love Princess Donut! #2026readingchallenge #booksky

#124 Luck of the Iris by Nancy Warren. Peony and her witchy crew solving a garden mystery in the Cottswalds. I am liking all the characters and the bigger story inside the small stories. #2026readingchallenge #booksky

#122 Shot in the Dark by Cleo Coyle. This is park of the NY coffeehouse series and the characters have come so far from the beginning. But there are tons of side characters and they seem to have their little piece of the book and it bogs it down at times... #2026readingchallenge #booksky
