Double Trouble Challenge
I read the first in the Relatively Dead series and wasn't overly impressed with it, but I have several in the Museum and Orchard series to read, and at least one or two County Cork books as well, so I'm not worrying too much about running out of her books to read :)
Finally I read my two books and even manage to update it now ;-)For RE Dying to Read by Lorena McCourtney 3* 4/2 &
for ER Erbarmen=The Keeper of Lost Causes by Jussi Adler-Olsen 3* 5/6
I'm taking both pairs since I have for both at least one book I wanted read for a really long time and just needed additional reason to do it soon.
For DI I'll read most likely A Diamond in the Rough - plus it will fit perfectly for my white covers challange next month :-) and
for LA I'll read Last Night in Montreal (another white cover) or The Last Witness
The next pairs: BE & SP
Yay Agnieszka! I'm still a couple behind.... but getting there... The next pairs: BE & SP

Looks like you like your BE's :-)
I finished
and therefore my DE pick.... now i'm only 4 behind.... I'll take SP because I'm supposed to read
this month. New pairs:
CA and PR
I'll take PR, which will give me yet another reason to move this book to the front of my list:One Less Problem Without You
New pairs: CA and HO
I finished
Holiday Spice 4 stars, which is something because I read very little romance. I'll take CA as one of my summer reads for Wacky is
Campaign Widows.New pairs HO and MI
I finally finished my book for TH : Murder at the Mansion (Victorian Village #1), by Sheila Connolly, finished 5/31 ★★★★
This is the first book in a new series by Sheila Connolly, and I was pleasantly surprised by it. I've enjoyed all of the series she writes except one, but imo, this book is the best first-in-series book she's written. In fact, it may be one of the best first-in-series books I've read, perhaps because she *has written so many series?
Jennifer, you need to get a copy of this as soon as possible!
I can take MI with The Prime Minister's Secret Agent, by Susan Elia MacNeal.
New pairs: HO and TR

I enjoy it! I hope my library buys it when it comes out. They do have some of her books.
I didn't realised I finished a DI book I łzy zmienią się w diamenty - English title Tears Turn To Diamonds - and it was better than I expected a 73 pages biography to be :-)Connie, thank you for the RO since I still can use the book I originally planned for DI A Diamond in the Rough now for RO *grins*
The next pairs: QU & IN
I finished my MI book; I really like this series and am glad she's still writing them, so I won't run out of books to read any time soon. That said, WW2 has to end eventually, doesn't it? The Prime Minister's Secret Agent, (Maggie Hope #4), by Susan Elia MacNeal, finished 6/4 ★★★.5
I can take Agnieszka's IN with In Like Flynn, the next in the Molly Murphy series by Rhys Bowen.Next pairs: QU and CH
I finished my book for IN:In Like Flynn (Molly Murphy #4), by Rhys Bowen, finished 6/16/18 ★★★★
I have a BE book on my list to read in July, but I don't want to commit to that just yet, so I'll keep an eye on the thread and see if anyone else can jump in.
I finished
Murder at Chateau Sur Mer 4 stars, and i'm now caught up on this series for about a month until the next one comes out. I'll take BE since I need to read
The Wife Between Us for a summer reads challenge this month. New Pairs: RA and HE
And I *still don't have anything in my reading plan that fits!
I’d like to see the manager to report a reading plan defect.... reading plan defect on aisle 5...
LOL I'll see if I can sneak something else into "the plan" that will work, but don't hold your breath :)
Hope you don't mind somebody new coming in and helping out with this dilemma (on aisle 5 no less!). I'll take RA since I'm reading An Enchantment of Ravens soon.New Pairs: HE and PL

Welcome in and I’m sure Barb appreciates the life jacket!!
Hmmmm.... *off to check Mt. TBR to see what might work*
Maybe you should have checked with Barb first to see which pair to suggest?
Connie N. wrote: "Maybe you should have checked with Barb first to see which pair to suggest?"*shrugs* These are such common letter combinations, I'm finding it almost comical at how few books I have on my reading list that fit.
Well i can fix that. Barb's letter combo: ZK.
ROFL Well, that will end the game for sure :)Or ... or ... or maybe you just don't want me to play anymore? I can take a hint! *sniffs* :D
Uh oh, Jennifer, I hope you're not playing Scrabble in the Crazy Challenge Connection. Barb will definitely "accidentally" roll an impossible set of letters for you to complete!
Barb can take any hint that doesn’t start with “HE” or “PL”.. and thanks for warning me off, Connie!! Lololol
Hey, I found a PL combo -- as long as there's no minimum page length for this challenge :) I was going through my Kindle content at Amazon to re-send a book I'd removed from my Kindle, and I found Plain as Day on the list, but apparently it was never sent to the new Kindle. So as long as a 103-page book works, I can take the PL. If that's ok, the next combos will be HE and TH.
works for me! I don’t like page limits on challenges anyway— they discourage finishing series because they eliminate so many of the “point-fives” from consideration. Plus I read about a dozen books a year that are more than 800 pages and I don’t get extra credit for those, so I just figure it all evens out! :-)
Yay, thanks! I think the hardest part of this challenge is coming up with letter combinations that will be relatively easy for someone else to match :)
Barb wrote: "Yay, thanks! I think the hardest part of this challenge is coming up with letter combinations that will be relatively easy for someone else to match :)"What, you didn’t like ZK?
LOL Even just one of those two would be difficult right now :)
Mod
what are the new pairs??
Barb posted in msg. 144 - the new pairs are HE and TH.
Finished my book for PL and wish it had been longer! I don't want to wait till the next book comes out in December to see how things work out :( Plain as Day (Amish Mystery #5.5), by Laura Bradford, finished 7/19
