Hi Jennifer I pick for you the Savannah Reid series because I love that character!! and also John Rain because you have less books to finish so hopefully you can finish the series up sooner. Enjoy!!

[Connie N.]

D.L.,

Harper Connelly - I really liked this series and was sorry to see it end so soon.

Women's Murder Club - This is one of those series where you really get to know the main characters and enjoy being with them. I read these one right after the other for a while, and it's time I get back to them too.

[LaurLa]

Hi Karen!! Here are your picks -


Steel Brothers Saga by Helen Hardt

and

Lingerie / Beyond Buttons by Penelope Sky (so close to done!)

[Severina]

Hi Oleander. I decided to go with the shortest and longest series that you have left, so I pick Drakon and Rose Gardner Mystery Series for you.

Hope you enjoy!

[Oleander]

Thank you Severina. That's a smart way to chose. I'm sure I'll enjoy them.

[Karen ♐]
