Meg, how do you like the series so far?

[Meg]

I thought the first book was quite good. The second one I didn't seem to enjoy as much as the first, though I went ahead and gave it four stars, too. Have third one waiting...and am hopeful...

[Connie N.]

Wow, you're definitely motivated, Meg! The challenge hasn't even started yet, and you're already done!

[Meg]

Lol, what a space case,,,somehow I translated the date wrong! For some reason I thought that once the series was chosen it was ready, set, go. I have the other four series still untouched; can something be chosen from those still? Promise I haven't touched them yet! They are:

Paradise series


Lexi Graves


Dusty Deals


Darcy Sweet

[Sabine]

Meg, I thought we start after the books are chosen too - I am on the last 50 pages of my 2nd book as well :)
If it was my choice from your books listed above I would go with the Paradise series...not that I know much about any of those yet but paradise sounds great right now :)

[Meg]

Whew, glad I'm not alone =) If no one has an objection then I'll take you up on your choice. I've been dying to dive into those two books. This time I'll wait until the start date, though!

[Sabine]

Thanks to Linda R for picking the Readaholics series for me. A great series and I enjoyed the books immensely. Sorry that I started too early as well...I too thought the books being picked was the starting gun ;)

I read these and highly recommend them:

The Readaholics and the Poirot Puzzle
The Readaholics and the Gothic Gala

[Sabine]

Meg, since I picked your 2nd series for the February challenge maybe you would like to pick mine...if that is OK with everyone? And I promise that I won't start reading before February 1st either :)

Here are the other choices I had listed:

Wendy Meadows – Maple Hills series (continuing)
#2 #3

Monica Ferris – Needlecraft Mystery (continuing)
#5 #6

Rosie Genova – Italian Kitchen Mystery (new to me)
#1 #2

Jeanne Meeks – Backcountry Mystery (new to me)
#1 #2

[Meg]

As long as no one objects I'll be happy to pick one. The Italian Kitchen sounds quite interesting; I think I'll pick that one. Hope it's a good one (though I don't need to add any more to my tbr)!

[Sabine]

Thank you Meg! I am looking forward to reading those - they have been on my TBR pile for a while.... but I will wait a few days until I start ;)

[Jennifer]

Finished my first: and started the second:

[Meg]

Finished my first Trouble in Paradise and currently reading the second

Update: Finished the second Murder in Paradise

[Connie N.]

Good progress, Jennifer and Meg. I've taken my book out of the library, that's as far as I've gotten this month so far!

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

I'm in three group monthly read-a-longs so I haven't even started on these! But tomorrow I should be able to start the first one (starts purring in anticipation!)

[Meg]

Big step! Can't wait to hear what you think of it.

Forgot to mention that I gave my first book a solid '4'.

[Gary]

Started my first book earlier today.
