Thanks, Kay. I've had lots of recommendations for this series. Thanks for the push to get me started.

Oops sorry to be so late. I somehow thought we weren't picking until today.

I pick for Kate: Hannah Swensen. I've read the first few of these and find them lighthearted and easy to read. Enjoy!

Connie, I have read the first two Hannah Swensen books and I love them!! My only complaint is that they make me hungry. Thank you so much for the great pick!! Enjoy your books.

Thanks Stacie!
I Have already read the first of this series, and it's really good, so get started! Maybe we could even do a Buddy read... The 4th book isn't out yet, but will be coming out November 3rd. I guess I will only be getting the next 2 read in Oct, but will finish the series as soon as the next one comes out...

[Sherrie]

The Vintage series is a great series and I really enjoy it and keep an eye out for her new books. Have fun!

[Sherrie]

The Haunted House Renovations are great as well and I have read all of hers. A book hard to put back down.

You have not pick one for me as of yet but since I am generally reading serveral series at the same time as it is. At this time I am reading 2 paranormal writers and 2 cozy mysteries at the same time and yes I can keep them separate and unfortunately I can remember what happens in them yeaMAggie Sefton and her series was great as well.

[Tina]

Thanks for helping me out Gina and Nell! The books look great I just have to get one or two from thrift store. Thanks for fitting me in, so excited!

Sherrie - Your name is not on the list of participants because you did not post any series. Please read message 1 and the challenge guidelines on how to participate.

[Connie N.]

I'd offer to choose too, but I haven't read any of your choices, Nell or Mary, so I wouldn't be much help, I'm afraid.

[Teresa]

For Nell, I choose If Walls Could Talk. I am also reading this series and love it so far. Happy Reading.

I just started to "read" the first of these on Audible. It is kind of quirky. I am enjoying it.

[Hilary (A Wytch's Book Review), Co-Moderator, Featured Series]

Well a nice leisurely lunch and afternoon at the pub whilst my hubby had a job interview and I steamed through both my books! So yay me and thank you Christine for picking the Victoria Square for me :D

Yea Hilary. I'm impressed. I read the first two books in that series and enjoyed them.

[Connie N.]

LOL, Hilary. Good for you. And I hope the interview went well.

My first book hasn't even arrived at my local library yet. Still waiting to get started...

[Kay (Brigidsmomma)]

I've finished what's been published thus far in my October Serial Reader challenge... and . The next one, , isn't due out until November 2nd or 3rd... guess I will finish off this series next month. Both of these were excellent, and I'd give them each 5 stars!

[Anne]

I just finished both my books for the October serial. I really enjoyed the Phryne Fisher books.

[Tina]

Oh I envy you! I have so much going on here at home and work. I have thurs and Fri off. Hoping to get some quiet reading time in!! I have the series and can't wait to start

[Donna]

Anne wrote: "I just finished both my books for the October serial. I really enjoyed the Phryne Fisher books."
I just read the first of that series. I like Phryne's attitude toward life. She enjoys it, but feels accountable to it.

[Connie N.]

is FINALLY available from the library. I'll pick it up tonight and get going with it on the weekend--woohoo!

[Marie Claude]

I've finished Heirs and Graces on October 9th but forgot to report it.

[Brandy]

I finished the first book in the Book Retreat Mystery Series by Ellery Adams, Murder in the Mystery Suite. It was a really great book! Lots of characters and a truly well formed story! I Can't wait to read book #2 Murder in the Mystery Suite

[Connie N.]

I quickly read Crocodile on the Sandbank this weekend and loved it! Now awaiting the 2nd in the series from the library. Thanks, Kay (Brigidsmomma) for encouraging me to read this series--I've been putting it off.

Connie N. wrote: " is FINALLY available from the library. I'll pick it up tonight and get going with it on the weekend--woohoo!" I just ordered the e-version from Amazon. If I like it, I will see how many in the series are available at one or the other of my favorite libraries. It will help me avoid the temptation of taking the easy (but expensive, when we're talking about a whole series!) route of Amazon-ing them all, one after the other!
