Hi, Anna Catharina,

I have not read any of your choices myself, so I decided to do a little research. I choose The Chronicles of Hugh de Singleton for you. I Iike that it is a medieval mystery and that he is a surgeon. I hope you enjoy the books!

[Jeanne]

Hi Anne,
Although I have not read any of them, I choose the Cat in the Stacks series for you. I saw that you were also signed up for the Baker's Dozen Round 2 and I thought maybe you might be able to use one of the Cat in the Stacks series for Baker's Dozen as well. I hope you enjoy this series. Jeanne

[Meg]

Hello, Jeanne, I'm choosing the Black Cat series for you!

I just checked and it looks like I have it bookmarked as a possible future buy, so really look forward to seeing what you think of it!
