Paisley picks for Connie
Connie, I pick the Southern Sisters Mysteries for you. I'm unfamiliar with them but they sound fun.

[Jeanne]

Jeanne picks for Mary --

Mary you have some truly interesting choices, none of which I have read. You didn't indicate ( and perhaps I should have known) whether each series was new or ongoing, so after a quick look at each author, I choose the Molly Malone series for you. I'm going to have to try out this series and the one by A. L. Jambar sometime soon.

[Mary]

Karen,

You have some very interesting series here, but I will pick Joanna Carl, Chocoholic Mystery, since I am a Diabetic, that's the only way I would get Chocolate LOL. Hope you enjoy them!

Mary

[Troll]

I picked the Food Lovers' Village series for Stacie.

Jackie, I'm picking the Black Cat Bookshop series for you because I just picked up the first book in this series myself and I'm curious to see what you think (plus I'm fond of puns and these titles definitely count)! Have fun!

I pick the Microbrew Mysteries for you. I hope you enjoyed them as I did.

[Anna Catharina]

Hello Louise,

I pick Agatha Raisin for you because I love this serie so much. I hope will enjoy it too!

[Stacie]

Kathy, for you I pick the Book Collectors series by Victoria Abbott. This series is written by a mother/daughter team. I had the pleasure of meeting the mom, Mary Jane Maffini last year. She is an absolutely wonderful person. I hope you enjoy this series.

[Connie N.]

Thanks, Paisley. Southern Sisters is a fun series, and I look forward to getting back into it.

[Kathy]

Lindy-Lane, I pick Cackleberry for you. It look like an interesting read :)

[Helen]

Lindy-Lane, thank you for picking Mary Daheim's Alpine series for me. The added advantage is I have 2 paperbacks waiting on my shelf. Some of the series I nominated are ebooks, as getting real books here in Australia is not always easy, and I far prefer reading real books in bed!
For Marisa, I choose the Geek Girl series. I don't know any of the series you nominated, but these sound like fun.

[Lindy-Lane]

kathy: looking forward to starting on the cackleberry series. i've owned one of the books for 7 years and have never gotten around to reading it from my very "tall" tbr stack! now i'm honored bound to do so. thanks for the "push". ;)

[Lindy-Lane]

helen, i'm the same way about wanting to read real books in bed. it's a cozy comfort with a paperback in my hands, warm blanket over me, and my pug laying by my side.

[Marisa]

Lindy, thank you very much! I'll tell you as I'm a geek girl myself (I'm a computer engineer ;) )
