Hi, Danielle,

I haven't read any of the series you selected, but I'm going with the Magical Cat Mysteries as my pick for you. I've heard Sofie Kelly is a good author, and who can go wrong with a cat! Hope you enjoy them.

Thank you, Sharon. I've been wanting to get back to Odelia Grey for a while now. I've not seen the PBS stories, so I'll look for those. The books are fairly inexpensive for the Kindle (if you have one). The first book is a little preachy, but after that, the series takes off!

Really enjoyed the first Hat book, so have her cupcake series on my to-try list 😊"

I guess we're just reading these in opposite order. BTW you've done an awesome job of picking the series on my lists where I actually own both books and don't need to get any from the library. Thanks!

[Sharon]

Oh, Barbara, I just realized I confused Odelia Gray with Cordelia Gray, P.D. James' detective. Cordelia had the PBS series. But you just led me to another series for my TBR list. Thanks!
(And I don't have a Kindle but I have the app.)

Hi Michelle,

I pick book retreat mysteries for you. I hope you enjoy them.

Thank you, I really like this series

[Danielle]

Hi Hilary. I am going to pick the Jenkins and Burns mysteries for you because they sounds very interesting!

Happy you enjoy the selection. I believe I have the first in the series on my Nook.

[Jeanne]

Hello again, Anna Catharina --
You have some great series posted -- some I know, but some I don't. So, for no special reason except that it sounds interesting, I choose the Inspector Hemingway series for you. I hope you enjoy it.

[Jeanne]

Lori wrote: "For Jeanne I pick the Diva Series. It's one of the few series I have completely finished and loved ever book of. Hope you enjoy it!!"

Thanks, Lori. I will love getting back into it.

Jess, Tourist Trap is one of my favorite series worth checking out.
Fortunately the first book tends to be on sale or free frequently on Nook and Kindle.

Thanks Gary for the recommendation. Added to my to read list!

[Gary]

I am getting ready to move my August reads onto my GR reading shelf. The Nook version of Dead & Buried by Leighann Dobbs is missing the page numbers. 395 is the total showing on my Nook version. I will also be reading The King's Justice by Katherine Kurtz. Even though I added the Nook version I can't get the cover of the Open Road Media version to show up. Perhaps a Librarian could help please?

There is a GR Feedback group where you can post Bugs on the site and a GR Librarians group. A GR librarian may just happen to read this post but posting to the Feedback group is the best option.

I'm librarian and I fixed it for you. But Nell is right, next time you better post problems at the GR Feedback group.

Thanks Anna, I posted over there after Nell reminded me about that group.

[Gary]

Now reading the first of my two books this month.

[Anna Catharina]

Finished my first August book No Wind of Blame
The characters are very weird but the mystery was really good!

[Linda]

Finished my first book - Cloche and Dagger and really enjoyed it. Can't wait to read the next one.

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

I've just steamed through Deadly Getaway and I am straight into Deadly Expressions: A Jenkins Burns Mystery !

[Jennifer]

Finished my first this morning: By Hook or by Crook great series! on to #4

[Kristie]

Finished my first book for the challenge, loved it!
Death with All the Trimmings

[Gary]

Finished my first. Dead & Buried Leighann Dobbs. This was more treasure hunt than whodunnit. Hope the next one is better.

Finished the first of my books, Murder on the Aloha Express . Jumping into the next one soon!

[Sharon]

I think, after a year of problems, I have a reliable home internet source again. To celebrate, I want to report that I've finished two more Agatha Raisin books.
Agatha Raisin and the Witch of Wyckhadden
Agatha Raisin and the Fairies of Fryfam
And, I learned a few days ago that all of us who are fans of Agatha have something in common with the U.S. Librarian of Congress. In a New York Times interview, Carla Hayden said, "I’m a fan of mystery novels. I adore Agatha Raisin, who is a fictional detective in a series of books by Marion Chesney."

I am not sure about visiting Aloha Lagoon, like Cabot Cove, Maine it seems to have a hefty murder rate.

So true 😁

[Sheri]

Finished the first two books from Miss Phryne Fisher Mysteries

[Jess]

Finished the first from the Royal Spyness series. It was so fun to read and looking forward to the second one.

I wasn't so sure about it as I'm not a big fan of spy thrillers, but this wasn't really one of those typical spy fiction. No wonder this series has so many fans.

[Helen]

I've finished my first for this challenge, , and started my second.

[Gary]

Just started my second yesterday.
