December TBR Challenge – Festive
November 2020 TBR Challenge – Series
This month the TBR Reading Challenge prompt invited us all to dive into our series reads. While Caz used this month to catch up on a series by an author she’s enjoyed, Lynn decided to jump into a new-to-her series because she was craving an angsty historical. And fortunately for both of us, the books we chose delivered. What series are you all enjoying now? […]

It’s 1896, and in San Francisco, successful, hard-working attorney Margaret Huntington Smith has been urged by her father, a judge, to take a well-deserved vacation. Knowing she […]
June 2020 TBR Challenge – Getaway
This month’s TBR prompt of “getaway” was a tough one in that one can take it in almost too many directions. Do we want to read pure tropical vacation escape? A road romance? Running away from the bad guys? Getting away with something forbidden? So many options. In the end, Caz chose an emotional road romance, while Lynn went with a vacation fling. […]
