Hilary and Jaxsnmom: I am new at this but, if you want, I can choose for September. However, I would rather have my birthday month (October!)

[Meg]

For September I came up with three possibilities. I don't know if they've been used before; just doing this on the fly. I did verify that that they can be found at the library (ours, at any rate), and, of course, ebook format.

1. Sophie Kimball Mystery by J. C. Eaton - personal pick
2. Davis Way by Gretchen Archer
3. Noodle Shop by Vivien Chien - bakery/restaurant

Hope this helps!

P.S. Yea, time is definitely flying by!

[jaxnsmom]

Yes - I mean September. See - I'm already a month behind!

Hilary - why don't you take September?

Cheryl - October is all yours. 🎂

Meg - How about November?

Sure thing. Will any of the three I suggested work for November or should I look out for others?

1. Noodle Shop by Vivien Chien - bakery/restaurant
2. Sophie Kimball Mystery by J. C. Eaton - personal pick

What else will I need to do when the time comes?

[jaxnsmom]

Cheryl - It would probably be a good idea to remind me to set up the discussion threads around the 20th of September. My mind isn't keeping up with passing time. 😁 That's all you need to do, and it isn't your responsibility to do that.

🤣 I will try to remind you but we might need someone to remind me to remind you! 🤦‍♀️

[Meg]

Lol, Cheryl!

As spacey as I get nowadays, I tend to ask people to remind me of things, too, Problem is they've become as forgetful as I am. 😆

Let's just pretend we all have so much knowledge in the storage of our brains that, now and then, the files get misplaced! 😉

Love it, Cheryl!

Jaxnsmom: Is someone picking for December? It's really late November and I haven't seen anything! I can pick if needed.

[Alice]

I have already picked twice so lets give someone else a turn.

Anyone have a good Christmas series that would read?

[Barb, Co-Moderator Challenge Expert]

Huh, I could have sworn I posted yesterday asking the same question. I did, but it was in this thread, instead of here :)

I found three cozy mysteries that have Kindle and print:

Christmas Tree Farm Mystery by Jacqueline Frost
Twelve Slays of Christmas
'Twas the Knife Before Christmas
Slashing Through the Snow


Christmas Village Cozy by Leighann Dobbs
Cadaver on Candy Cane Lane
Grievance in Gingerbread Alley


Snow Globe Shop Mystery by Christine Husom
Snow Way Out
The Iced Princess
Frosty the Dead Man

There are many others out there but I chose these since they are Cozy Mystery genre AND can fit into the Holiday theme!

When I posted in this thread a few days ago, I also PMd Jaxnsmom, asking her the same question and making a couple of series suggestions in case she wanted to make a quick decision. I see that those series are on the group's main page as December's reads, but I haven't seen an announcement about it.

Meg Langslow series, by Donna Andrews
first book : Murder with Peacocks
I know there are several Christmas-themed books in the series

Ginger Gold series, by Lee Strauss
first book : Murder on the SS Rosa

Will there be a 2022 signup?

I was just wondering the same thing!

[jaxnsmom]

Yes! I'm setting it up now. I've been busy getting to go see my family for the first time in two long years.

[Barb, Co-Moderator Challenge Expert]

Yay for seeing family! After months of thinking that Son and his wife wouldn't be here for Christmas, we just found out an hour ago that they *will be here, even if only for a couple of hours. I'll happily take those couple of hours!
