I'm In again, I do like the fact that if we read two books a month on a series, then we stay in touch with the characters that we have fallen in love with, want to revisit, or just catch up on a series, and don't feel the pressure to have to read them one after the other after the other. So here's my picks for August.

Thank you, I will order thses from the library.

[Connie N.]

Connie picks for Kay (Brigidsmomma):

Kay, the only one of your series that I've read is Kay Scarpetta, so I'm going to pick that one for you because I know that she's really interesting. I don't think she'd be considered a cozy read, though.

[Connie N.]

Thanks, Hilary, I'm off to the library for some Vintage Magic...

[Katherine]

Thanks Amy- Maddy Hunter will be a great read for August. I choose Leslie Budewitz's Erin Murphy/Food Lovers' series for you. Have fun

Maybe not, but I have a ton of hers to read, so this should keep me busy most of August... Especially since most of these are in ppbk format, not Kindle. Thanks for the pick! I'm really pleased and excited!

And even though she might not be cozy, I read so much cozy that something different for a change might be nice. Still, no graphic sex scenes, and for me that means cozy...

Teresa,

The only books of your selections that I know are the Knitting Mysteries that I am reading right now. So that is what I will pick for you. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Happy reading!
