Thanks Gary! Yes, I'm "really" reading and/or listening to two or more books..it depends on how many are in the series.

Thank you very much!

Connie-- Because I love Sheila and I haven't even gotten to her orchard series yet........ I pick Sheila Connolly for your reading pleasure this month. But you have to promise to update me on the fun. Coming in a close second was Lilian jackson Braun because I have never read those and keep thinking I need to try them.

Enjoy,
ruth

Sandra -- I'm NOT entitled to pick for you, but I just have to say (since I'm in the middle of book3) that Ellery Adam's Antiques and Collectibles series is awesome! -- Ruth

[Gary]

That is the series I chose for Sandra. So many Ellery Adams books to read so little time and so little cash in the reading fund.

[Connie N.]

Thanks for the great pick, Ruth. It's about time I moved ahead on this series.

[Linda]

Thank you! I was totally surprised by the pick because I really didn't remember what series I had listed. I've been so busy this week I just copied and pated April's choices and swapped out my April series.

[Christine]

Kayla , I pick the silver hollow series for you. Hope you enjoy.

Meg, I haven't read any of your options, so I'm going with the Janet Finsilver (Kelly Jackson series) for you because it sounds good and has a high rating."

Oh, good, Connie, thanks! I've been wanting to read these.

Thanks! I just read book 2 and am anxious to read the rest. It is quickly becoming a new fsvorite.

Glad you enjoyed both. I have a hard time thinking about the second book in that series objectively since it was the book I was reading when my brother passed away.

I enjoy having both a kindle and a nook. So many books at discount prices that we can enjoy. I really thank my hubby for the kindle and my daughter and son-in-law for my nook, best Christmas presents they could have given me!
