It is a good series, though I was on the fence about the first one when I read it. Can't wait to get back into it!

Linda, I'm picking Gideon Oliver for you. I've been working my way through them, and I always learn a lot -- and it's nice to have a bunch of As or Es knocked out of challenges!

Thanks Jennifer! I read one book in this series a couple of years ago for an around the world challenge and now I can start at the beginning. You're right, you can never have too many vowels!

Good choice -- i've read all but a handful and I'm hoping to be totally caught up in this series by the end of the year.

Thank you Meg. She’s one of my favourites, and I’m looking forward to reading more of her.

[Pat]

Nell can you send me a reminder when the December challenge starts. I want to participate again with the challenges.

[Pat]

Thanks!

[Cathy]

I love seeing all the picks for everyone..

[Linda]

Finished my first, Fellowship of Fear last week and enjoyed it. Bonus that it was set in Europe so I could use it in my Apple Harvest challenge. Thinking I will be able to use my second book for that challenge as well.

[Jennifer]

I've read three from my series: and enjoyed them all -- Thank you Linda C!

Pat - The challenge starts on the 15th of each month. The sign-up period is from the 15th to the 20th. Please calendar a reminder for yourself. I hope you remember to sign-up; I do not have the bandwidth to send personal reminders.

[Helen]

I’ve finished two of my series, as audiobooks on a long road trip. They were great company. I did start the first on kindle, which seamlessly connects to audible.
They’re not the titles in the series I originally nominated, but I have several still unread in this favourite series. I think I got distracted by the tv adaptations, but there are more books, and they have much more depth.

[Linda]

Finished my second, The Dark Place and have really enjoyed the start to this series. A cozy from before there were cozies and a bit different.
