Sabine,
I'm not familiar with a couple of your series, but I notice you are into the needle arts, so I choose the Monica Ferris series for you. It looks like a good one and I think I will add it to my list of books to read.

[Michelle]

Thanks Anne, ever since we read the first one I've wanted to start the next ones.

Done with my first! . The second will be melancholy because it's the last of this now-finished series, which i've really enjoyed.

Next up, then:

At least i still have more than half of her other paranormal series to go.....

I've picked up the first book from the library and will be starting it soon. Thanks for picking this series. I've loved it so far.

[Meg]

Have finished the first of my series, , and have the second lined up.

[Anna Catharina]

I finished both of my April choices:
and
Wow, that was an excellent read!

[Jennifer]

Finished which was also the finish to the series. :-(

[Linda]

Finished my first book for the month - Murder Between the Covers. I haven't read this series in order so it was fun to go back towards the beginning.

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

I read my choices yesterday in quick succession and loved them! I have the horrible feeling though that this is one of the series that has been axed :(

[Meg]

Meg wrote: "Have finished the first of my series, , and have the second lined up."

Finished the second of the series . It was pretty good.

[Gary]

Meg wrote: "Meg wrote: "Have finished the first of my series, , and have the second lined up."

Happy to see you enjoyed both books.

[Gary]

Just finished the first of my two books.

[Tracie]

Just finished my first book in the series for this month Murder comes by mail. It was even better than the first in series and had a nice plot twist. I'm excited to read the next in series but bummed because once I'm done I will have to wait until the author writes book #4.

Sounds like I need to put these on my TBR list

[Susan]

I have finished my first book by Josephine Tey A Man in the queue. It is a thinker if you want to work it out. But you won't. Surprise ending

Her "The Daughter of Time is one of the few fiction books I've ever given five stars.

They are murder mysteries for children and young teens, but very good and like a kind Agatha Christie for younger people.

I cannot find them in ebook form. Only paperbacks.

[Helen]

I've finished both my books for this month, and by Joanna Carl. Both quite good mysteries, but the descriptions of the chocolates became a bit tedious in the first of the two, and the Chocolate trivia seemed irrelevant.
The story line and characters did develop quite considerably in the second one.

[Gary]

Finished my challenge by completing Murder at the Mansion by Janet Finsilver a short time ago.

Those who have read my review of that book will understand when I don't say on to the May challenge. I will be taking a month off of challenges.

[Helen]

Gary, I just read your review. My heart goes out to you. I have lost two dear friends to that horrible disease, and know several more who had it.

[Nell]

Gary - I am sorry to read of your lost. Sending prayers for peace and comfort to you and your family.

[Gary]

Thank you Helen and Nell. I will be back for June's serial read challenge. Although I may still do the May challenge. I am still working through my hrother's death. I am doing better than my sister is at that. My brother's funeral is this coming Saturday.

[Mary]

Gary,

So very sorry to hear of your loss. I am sending prayers to you and your family to get through this very difficult time. I have been there and it is a hard thing to handle. But with the help of family and friends will get you through.

Remember you always have many friends here in this group to help you!

Your friend,

Mary

[Jeanne]

So sorry to hear of your loss. We have also unaccountably lost dear family members. May you find comfort in your memories.

[Jeanne]

I have managed to finish only my first book for April. Fortunately I am well on my way with the second. We are currently on a cruise in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Thought I would have tons of time to read but that has not proved to be the case. Internet is so unreliable out here I don't know whether I should join for May or not, but will try.

[Sandra]

Finished: 3/3


Magic Potion Mystery series by Heather Blake #1-3

✔A Potion to Die For
✔One Potion in the Grave
✔Ghost of a Potion

[Christine]

Finished Tailing a Tabby and absolutely loved it. I started the next book so hopefully I will have it done quick.

[Susan]

Good morning to all
I have finished my second selection "A Shilling for Candles" by Josephine Tey. The characters were really interesting with the three story lines. Didn't figure this murderer either.
