Barbara, I'm so sorry for leaving you in suspense so long. It's been a busy week. But I have never heard of the Cruise Ship mysteries. They sound like lots of fun, so I'm picking them for you. Bon voyage!

[Sharon]

Thanks, Mary! I can hardly wait to start on Miss Marple.

[Jeanne]

Finished my first book for March, The Rhyme of the Magpie by Marty Wingate. Sorry that I didn't start this series sooner as I really liked the first one. These are likeable characters, realistic back stories, and pretty well plotted mystery. All in all I give it a thumbs up.

I do enjoy the Marty Wingate books - have you read the Potting Shed series?

Well sort of. I read the first one, that I really liked but haven't gotten back to it. I got side tracked with Ellery Adams, Rhys Bowen, Lynn Cahoon, Kate Carlisle, and others. So this was really great as I had downloaded it to my kindle over a year and a half ago. Not sure which of the two I like better.

Ah yes so many great Cozy Authors and so little reading time!

I still have book 2 from November to finish....sigh.

[Nell]

Reading two books from the series that's chosen is a goal - not an obligation. Have fun and read what you can. You can always try again the next month.

fyi - The serial challenge threads remain open. If it's older than six months, they are in the archive folder.

[Gary]

Finished my first book for March

[Linda]

Finished my first book. I enjoyed it, it's been a long time since I read a book from this series.

[Cynthia]

Just finished my first book. Delightful, surprising reveal, and a shocking twist to boot.

I have the first Brother Cadfael on my wish list. I was happy to see your endorsement for the series.

I read the first book in August last year. I now have the entire series on my Nook. I will possibly be adding it to the choices for next month's challenge..

[Louise]

Finished 2 of my picks, I may squeeze another one in this month. 😉

[Meg]

Congrats, Hilary and Louise! I decided to work on books from another couple challenges before reading my second one here. Soon!

[Barbara]

Finished both books for the month (and in record time for me). The Cruise Ship mysteries are fast, fun reads. I may try to squeeze one more in this month. :-)

[Meg]

Congrats, Barbara!

[Marianne]

Finished my first book for this month, enjoyed it very much and looking forward to reading the next one.

I've finished my second book, Uncertain Terms . I really like this series, but had to give this one a 3.5* due to what I considered a couple of tstl moments.

[Marianne]

Finished my second book for this month, didn't like it as much as the other in this series.

[Gary]

I have started my second book for March
