Glad you will enjoy the choice. Almost went with the cat based series because I recognize some of the authors.

So, I’ll read books 4 Out of Circulation and 5 The Silence of the Library

For my June series reads.

[Pat]

I finished reading Lethal Licorice last night and started reading Premediatated Peppermint this morning.

Cannot wait to start reading A Clue for the Puzzle Lady by Parnell Hall.

[Linda]

Finished my first, The Last Word last night. Been a while since I've read this series but I really enjoyed this entry. Looking forward to the next one later this month.

[Pat]

finished the 2nd book Premeditated Peppermint. Getting Parnell Hall A Clue for a Puzzle Lady in the mail today. Cannot wait.

[Helen]

Finished my first, . A fun series which are quick to read.

[Conni]

I"m reading the 1st Jane Garbo book! Interesting! And it is a New series to me.

[Helen]

Finished my second,
This is a quick series to read, and it was nice to see Lexy married to Jack, but the answer to the mystery was pretty obvious halfway through the book.
I think I’ll save the rest of the series until I need something fun but easy to read again.

[Conni]

I finished the 2nd book! I am now reading the 3rd one because I like this series!!
