Ann (annrumsey) | 16652 comments Hi DJ, these three books are new to me. I will do some research and get back to you. I haven’t read a Fern Michaels book in years. Should be fun to learn more about the books.

Donnajo | 4267 comments I thought it might be harder to pick.

Ann (annrumsey) | 16652 comments G'Day to Die looks good. Tonight reading the blurb for each, that one catches my interest the most, so I’ll choose it for you DJ!
I like the Australian setting and the characters sound interesting. My second choice is Gotcha!.

Donnajo | 4267 comments Thank you I’ll wait a few more days to see if anyone else comes to say.


GailW (on partial hiatus) (abbygg) | 421 comments I wasn't going to offer an opinion since I don't know the authors, but, taking Ann's lead, if I was to read one of the three it would be G'Day to Die. It sounds more ... fun.

Donnajo | 4267 comments When I was checking my Danielle steel hardcovers that are unread on big bookcase on one shelf yesterday I saw I still have one other unread Goudge hardcover on shelf I forgot title but remember Thorn is in it I think. Might have to read it this year. She used to be a must buy or read right away back the day.

Donnajo | 4267 comments I'll be Reading G'Day to Die by Maddy Hunter at this point. The other two will get read at some point soon maybe.

Me too! I've been struggling with what to read next (which is pathetic considering....). I wanted something fun-sounding. Starting today. Thanks!

Donnajo | 4267 comments I don’t own 7-12. Didn’t realize there was that many. I know my sister had read the ones I had and had to get others from library but not sure she is caught up. I think last one was 2018 I think.

ChrisQ | 124 comments I read and couple in the Peril series and really enjoyed it. Hope you both like it! I remember they were funny and a nice escape. I probably should check it out again!

Donnajo | 4267 comments I’m 80 pages into it already it’s good so far.


message 17: by Donnajo (new)

Donnajo | 4267 comments I finished G'Day to Die by Maddy Hunter. Gave it a 4 rating. It was good.


message 18: by Ann (new)

Ann (annrumsey) | 16652 comments I just finished the first Eileen Goudge book in the Cypress Bay series, Bones and Roses, and liked it - so I am starting book two, Swimsuit Body now. Thanks DonnaJo and Sherry!
