Ooh, I love this challenge. I am hoping to catch up on Assistant to the Villain and The Empyrean this year also, but we'll see. Now that I know Ware is writing a sequel to Cabin 10, I might have to try and squeeze that one in also. I keep saying I've abandoned Molly the Maid, but if you say it is good, I may change my mind. :-)

Good luck with this list as well. ☺️

They are such quick reads. She's pretty silly, but I love these books.

I think we all need some quick, fun reads. Reading tomes all the time or "dense" subject matter is just too much. I am considering adding more fluff to my 12+4.
Many series I read there- and other authors :) Many of these have been on my prior year 12 plus 4 or Motley reading challenges.
There's nothing quite like catching up with old book friends!
I'm wrapping up a few books started in 2024, but I'm so excited to dive into the challenges!
Women's Murder Club is one of my favorite series by James Patterson. I still need to start the Empyrean series. Good luck with your challenge.

I try; and you are welcome!
I'll probably do a check in quarterly, for those that haven't marked anything as read. Hopefully, everyone has notifications on. 😬
So far, I'm actually keeping up with this challenge. Better than last year. :)I really liked Nobody's Fool. I wasn't sure I wanted another Sami Kierce book, but it turns out I did.
Mod
I think I have that on my tbr???

Well get to it! :)

I can't. I have like 5 Harlan Coben books on my tbr. Good grief! Sami Kierce has to wait for a little while. 😩🥴
I have not read a single Harlan Coben book; but have 3 sitting on the shelf. What the fluff!???
