ShelbyIt was fun going through your shelves. I hope you enjoy your picks and have Happy Holidays!
1. Archie: We both have this on our TBR - Lucifer's Daughter by Eve Langlais. Or check out this series with Grace finding out her heritage to fight monsters and juggling it with being a single mom in Huntress by Nicole Hamlett.
2. Betty & Veronica: Summer Knight by Jim Butcher is the book where I fell in love with the series. I love Fae and this seemed to finally cement Harry's posse instead of just trying to be the lone wizard. You should also check out this series by Ilona Andrews about an innkeeper (best job ever!) who is dealing with her vampire guests and a local werewolf while trying to make sure no one discovers her secret. Absolutely love this series! Clean Sweep
3. Moose: These are both from your TBR. Werewolves count as animals, right? In Tempting Danger by Eileen Wilks you have a cop with null magic ends up connected to Rule, the werewolf "prince" while investigating his clan. Or get your sports fix with Playing with Fire by Avery Cockburn.
4. Jughead Jones: check out some interesting steam punk with Soulless by Gail Carriger. Or Silver Sparks by Starr Ambrose where Maggie turns down the town golden boy and and PI who had been investigating embarrasses him and it leads to them both being in danger.
5. Kevin Keller: This sounded interesting on your TBR - Duty to the Crown by Rebecca Cohen. Or check out Replica by Jenna Black where the world is run by corporations and Nadia is engaged to the heir of the CEO and helps him keep his "secret" although when he is killed and brought back as a replica they investigate his murder.
6. Josie & The Pussycats: I was thrilled to see Lick by Kylie Scott on your TBR as I read it this year after a recommendation and loved it so much I immediately got the second one. Evie wakes up hungover and married in Vegas to David who is a guitarist with a famous band. Or check out Mind Over Monsters by Jennifer Harlow (blue on cover) where Beatrice joins a secret government group to learn control of her telekinesis and to use it for good.
7. The Archie Gang: Both these books have strong friendships in them. First up is First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones where Charley is a PI (and the Grim Reaper) whose office assistant/best friend Cookie is great help as she investigates deaths. I'm currently reading the 7th book in the series and enjoying it. Or check out Secret Sisters by Jayne Ann Krentz (my favorite author) as a secret from when they were kids comes back to haunt Madeline and they end up having to go back and learn what really happened then.
8. Riverdale: Naked in Death by J.D. Robb starts an amazing mystery series that is still going strong 40+ books in. Eve is investigating a murder and it leads her to charming billionaire Roarke. This series is set slightly in the future. Or check out a sweet small town romance in The Gamble by Kristen Ashley. Nina rents a house in Colorado to consider her future with her finance (who doesn't seem to care) and it turns out the owner is there.

Thank you, Christine. These look great. It will be hard to choose which one to start with because so many of them intrigue me! I will let you know what I pick.
Hi Valeria,I will try to get your picks done today or tomorrow. I have a houseful of company for Christmas but if there are any 'down time' moments, I will certainly work on this for you. Thank you in advance for your patience!
Cerys,I will do your picks as soon as I can! It will probably be sometime on Monday the 26th though.
