Susy S says
Witch Trial by Cate Conte is scheduled for December 28, just like Bake Borrow and Steal. I have these two on pre-order along with Absence of Mallets and Renewed for Murder.
I am holding off on ordering the books by Laura Bradford, Cleo Coyle, Paige Shelton and Victoria Thompson as I have several earlier books by these authors waiting for my attention.
Hopefully, none of these books will be delayed by supply chain issues, though I have enough books in my TBR shelves to get me through a very long dry spell.

Susy, thanks for the update! I’m sorry this took a bit – I haven’t been feeling well the last few days.

I hope you are feeling better and are back to 100% very soon.

Cleo Coyle: Honey Roasted is no longer a December release. Now set in January. (Sigh)

December is a much lighter month for me than most recent months have been. That’s not a complaint…it gives me a chance to catch up on my ever-growing TBR pile a bit.
“Bake, Borrow, and Steal”, and “Renewed for Murder” are on my to-buy list. I pre-ordered “Absence of Mallets” a while ago (Amazon had it at a reduced price that I locked into). “Honey Roasted” is also on my to-buy list, but I wait for the MMPB releases in this series, so I won’t be getting this one for several more months.
I’m interested in Laura Bradford’s new series, and have added book one to my wish list. Amazon already has book two listed for a summer release (I think in July).

Melanie, it’s always nice to be able to catch up a bit on the TBR pile! Sorry that posting this took a bit – I haven’t been feeling well the last few days.
Melanie says
I hope you’re feeling better Danna. 🙂
