Trea -- your system of check and stars is working! I was surprised to see a star near my name. Since Stormie had posted at the same time as me, I didn't see her post. I keep looking further down in thread.

I choose Option A for you: Hannah Swensen series. Mysteries and recipes ~ Enjoy"

Thank you, Melissa! I am finding it hard to read books that talk about food and have recipes in them...I love to bake and want to make all of the goodies!

I just found another book at the Goodwill yesterday (#16) and there are more books to the series than I had previously found on GoodReads. Should I update all of those...or just leave it? I know there is no way I could get through them all.

Are you talking about the Hannah Swenson series that got picked for you? If so, you don't have to read all of it in one month. The goal is to read at least two of the books in that series this month. You can always put the series back on your listings for August, September, etc, until you get through all of it, just reading one or two at a time. That's how I got through the In Death series by J.D. Robb and that has something like 44 books in it!

Yes, I had only posted about eight books, but there are twenty-one in the series! Well, that last one will be out I think in September. I know I will be doing good to get through maybe four, as I have to borrow them from the library for now. I am on the third book as that is the one I am working on now, and I hope to get to at least to seven. :)

I finished books 2 & 3 in the Nick Williams Mystery series. They are a lot of fun. I plan to continue reading this series. Thanks for the pick.

@ Karen thanks for the picks ~ I managed to finish up this month:

Made Marian
- both 3 stars. I enjoy these but they are sort of formulaic and I think having the same narrator for all of them makes all the characters sound the same. Could just be me :)

May still try to get to : this month but not sure


Dresden Files
- both 4 stars. I love Harry and James Marsters as narrator is awesome!!

[Avid Reader and Geek Girl]

Not sure I'll make any progress

[Karen ♐]

Thanks for the great picks, Suzanne. I loved both of them - - 5 stars and - 4 stars

[Katherine]

Finished the first series:

[~Melissa~]

@Karen ~ I ended up finishing also this month as I needed for a challenge. Making it 3 from Made Marian and 2 from Dresden Files :)

Could have used less hot and cold from one of the MC's but still a fun series.

[Danielle Gypsy Soul]

ARGH only got through one of my books this month but I loved it and I will definitely be reading the next one very soon!

Touch & Geaux 7/26 ★★★★★
