Hi, Sandra,

Sorry to be so late in posting -- I just got home. All of your choices are new to me as well, but they all look good! I'm choosing the Cupcake Bakery Mystery series by Jenn McKinlay for you. I've heard good things about that series, and I'd love to read it myself!

Hope you enjoy the books!

Thanks for the picks, Linda! It's easy to forget the deadlines on these types of challenges.

[Kristie]

I pick Jenn McKinlay's Due or Die and Book, Line Sinker for Karen.

[Nell]

Today is the last day to pick a series for your partner. It looks like Gary is the only person still waiting for a selection. I sent a pm to his book selector. If she doesn't pick a series today, I will post one for Gary tomorrow.

If anyone else does not have a series selected, please let me know.

[Gary]

I also sent her an email yesterday asking her to please make a selection.

[Gary]

I hope Cynthia is ok. I am guessing that she headed off early for the holiday weekend and didn't remember to post here. I note she hasn't updated her reading status on her current reads since yesterday morning.

[Nell]

Perhaps Cynthia is busy and not checking her messages.

Gary -
I pick the Sarah Winston Garage Sale mysteries for you. This has become a favorite series for me.

[Gary]

Thanks Nell.

I am actually on the 5th in that series. It's a really great, wholesome series. I thoroughly recommend it!

[Jennifer]

Finished #1 today and am now starting #2 in audio on my walk to the grocery store:

[Linda]

Finished my first book Scandal in Skibbereen this weekend. I love the Irish setting in these books.

[Gary]

Partway into Chapter 1 of the first book of this month's challenge.

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

I read both of mine in quick succession on Friday! The final one ended on a cliffhanger and there are NO MORE BOOKS!

[Lori]

Finished my first book for June. I really enjoyed it can't wait to finish the next one.

[MadameZelda]

Lori wrote: "Finished my first book for June. I really enjoyed it can't wait to finish the next one."

I want to read that one also!

[Jess]

I finished my first book of the month, Still Life , also the first book I read for this series and I absolutely loved it! Looking forward to starting the second one.

[Jennifer]

Finished my second: Turns out I read another book about the same person this series concerns earlier this year: She's an interesting historical figure about whom I knew nothing before these three novels.

[Karen]

I have both of my June titles read and loved them both!

[Sarah]

I'm kind of late to the party, I'm in!

Sarah - It's too late to participate in the June challenge. Information about how this works is in the first message which has a link to the thread for questions and more info.

The thread for the July challenge will be posted next week. Feel free to join in and post books for next month.

[Jess]

I finished my second one as well, A Fatal Grace . I love this series so much and see if I can read the next one as well. Also, it's great to read in order, I'm so happy the library has most of this series.

I finished both books for the month, If the Shoe Kills and Dressed to Kill. I found this series through these monthly challenges and it has become one of my favorites.
