Thanks, Julesy, I've loved the Chet & Bernie stories I've read so far. I don't really need them for any other challenges, but I haven't read them in a while and am in the mood. Perfect picking.

Post from Jeanne:

Thank you, Mary.

Linda - I choose the Daisy Gumm series for you. Also, I hope that she enjoys her cruise.

[Stacie]

Hi Salena! You have so many great series to select from. For you I choose Books by the Bay series by Ellery Adams. I really love the protagonist, Olivia Limoges. She's a bit different than the normal. She's in her 40's and established which gives her a unique edge and a refreshing depth and maturity that some cozies are lacking. Look forward to hearing what you think.

Happy Reading!

Thanks for picking for me again Nell. Sorry I missed the deadline yesterday due to the snowstorm that hit Michigan a ..."

I didn't pick for you Karen. Four of the five series that your match partner listed were books that she had already read. They did not qualify for this challenge. She decided to sit out this month rather than edit her choices.

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

Well it turns out all of these were short books! So I read all three today lol, they were okay, if any more in the series are written I will possibly read them but not ones I will rush out to get, but I am glad to have read them and cleared them from my ever increasing TBR pile!

[Nell]

From Jeanne:

I finished Once Upon a Grind by Cleo Coyle, which was my other March challenge book. All the usual characters are preent. This one centers on the use of a coffee truck to enhance the business and coincide with a new Broadway musical. Clare finds a body in Central Park thought to be a drug overdose. Clare refuses to accept this and the game's afoot. This is more like the traditional Cleo Coyle series and I liked it better than Dead to the Last Drop.

[Salena]

I am about a third of the way into A Killer Plot (Books By the Bay) and I'm loving it. In fact, I believe I've found a new favorite author in Ellery Adams.

I am also reading A Killer Plot for the March challenge. I am enjoying it too.

[Julesy]

I finished my first book in a new series By Book or By Crook. Loved it! I am looking forward to listening to the next book on audio later this month.

[Jill]

I finished the first in the cup cakes seies by Jen McKinlay sprinkled with murder I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading the second book in the series

[Louise]

Finished , as usual an enjoyable read. I was given books 1-20 as a birthday present, I can't wait to start another one.

[carla]

I finished The Lies That Bind Kate Carlisle and absolutely loved it. I have started my second book murder under cover. I love this series, I highly recommend them.

[Anna Catharina]

I finished today and it was a good book but a really slow read for me. I lik,e the characters and love Hamlet but I think the characters are very flat. I hope the development is better in the second book.

[Karen]

I finished today. It was just okay for me. I do look forward to reading the 2nd one in the series.

[Jill]

Finished my first one and starting the next one, it will be nice to sit and read it tomm since it's suppose to thunderstorm here, so it will be a great day to read

[Connie N.]

I finished the first of my March reads:

The Dog Who Knew Too Much by Spencer Quinn - 3/15/16 ♥♥♥♥

Very fun, as expected--I love this series. I have the next one all lined up to listen to by the same narrator--Jim Frangione. He did a great job. But I highly doubt I'll get to it before the month is over.

I loved that first book. The narrator does a fantastic job. I quit this series after about the 4th or 5th book. Seems like every mystery plot was identical to the previous one.

[Connie N.]

Julesy, I've read the 1st 4 books so far and am still enjoying them. Now that I tried the audio version, they seem to have a fresh start. So I'll definitely keep going.

[Lori]

I finished two books for my series this month. Going to try and get another one done this month.
1. Fudge Cupcake Murder by Joanna Fluke. Really enjoyed this one. Kept me guess and wasn't a lot of the love triangle.
2. Carrot Cake Murder by Joanna Fluke Liked this one too. This is one of my favorite series. Almost have caught up with the series.
Need to get busy on My April books.

[Linda C]

Finished the first book for March by Alice Duncan. Heroine is a medium in the 1920s. Some interesting side issues that I'm interested in seeing where they go.

[Marisa]

This month I haven't able to read the series ☹, I'll try again on April.

[Louise]

Finished not as good as others in the series unfortunately.

[Anna Catharina]

Louise wrote: "Finished not as good as others in the series unfortunately."

I totally agree! I think it is the worst book of the serie!

[Marisa]

I've begun my serial reading with A Spirited Tail. I've enjoyed as much as the first book, and I enjoy the animals' POV. If I don't finish the read this month, I'll finish it the next, because I like the series a lot.

[Louise]

Finished , I enjoyed this one the series seems to be back on track.

[Anna Catharina]

I finished my second book . I really liked it and i'm looking forward for the other books. But now, I need a little break :)

[Kay (Brigidsmomma)]

I've finished the 1st 2 books in the Jazz Phillips series which was picked for me this month. I have book 3 and will (hopefully) get to read it before the month is out as well, but as I have recently discovered that this series has many more books out, I guess I will have to put it back on my list for another month as I am out of funds for new books this month!

I know what you mean, AC. I can't usually read more than 2 books in a series at a time, needing to take a break and read something completely different to shake things up.

[Karen]

Karen wrote: "I finished today. It was just okay for me. I do look forward to reading the 2nd one in the series."

I have started on the 2nd book, . I hope to have it finished by Friday.

[Marisa]

I've already finished my second one, A Mew To A Kill. I think it's too similar to the previous one, and I've read them too near. It's a series which must be read apart, that's my feeling so far.
