I am hosting another reading challenge!
I read the first two books in the series this year, and I want to continue on in the series. Since I could not find anyone else hosting this challenge, I thought I would give it a whirl!

- 2nd Chance (Women's Murder Club, Book #2)
- 3rd Degree (Women's Murder Club, Book #3)
- 4th of July (Women's Murder Club, Book #4)
- The 5th Horseman (Women's Murder Club, Book #5)

ReplyDelete@ Vicki: Well how cool is that? I am going to have to hunt down that tv series online! I love Angie Harmon, even way back when she was on Law & Order. I haven't yet watched Rizzoli & Isles, but I hear that she is good as well! Thanks for the info!! I'm so happy you'll be joining me on the challenge!
