Bookcast 107: Leave the Thrillers, Take the Romance: A Mid-January Update

Hey friends! Welcome to episode 107 of The Bookcast. I'm recording today with a bit of a cold, so I sound funny, but I'm here and that's all that matters.  I  had to come in and share a mid-month update on my latest reads, writing efforts and author wins with you. Also, it snowed in Atlanta, a thing that only happens every few years, so there's that.   Book Report - I have read 14 of 100 books. I'm well ahead of my challenge and as per usual, I'll re-evaluate mid year. SO FAR it looks like I am going to be bumping up the goal much earlier. I just love reading. Here's what I've read so far this month- note I was on vacation for the first six days of the month.  I'm trying something new by tracking on both Goodreads and StoryGraph. I don't personally enjoy storygraph but I want to stick it out to see if I get good reporting at the end of the year. Goodreads is very social but not good at reporting. Track Her Down by Melinda Leigh (Bree Taggart #10)A Winter Crest Christmas Reloaded: Mia and Zen by CordaeOne More to Die by Joy Ellis (Audible Original)Tell Her Story by Margo Hunt (Audible Original)The Family Lies by Angela HenryThe Setup by Falguni KothariLacey James series by Chris PatchellShooting the Moon by Brenda NovakWestmoreland Legacy series bundle by Brenda Jackson: The Rancher ReturnsHis Secret SonAn Honorable SeductionThe Secret Witness by Victor MethosMore Than Friends by Reese Ryan (Love and Music Suite #3)Writing Updates:Currently working on a Valentine's Day story titled Rules in RomanceCalculated Risk is with my editor and due end of FebruaryMissing Persons is complete but needs editingStill plugging away at my Berkeley Sisters trilogyWriting fan fiction on my Substack (short fiction by dlwhite.substack.com)I ended the episode asking how you all are planning to get through these interesting times ahead.
