Hi Helen,

I’ve actually read a couple of your series and I love Maisie Dobbs so that is my pick for you.

[Becky]

Hi Zereema! For you I pick the Poppy McAllister series. I read the first one & really enjoyed it!

[Jennifer]

Cheryl, I've not read any of your series but who could resist a name like "Good Girls Don't Come Last?" Enjoy!

[Zermeena]

Hi Meg! I'm not familiar with you choices but they all sound good. I'm choosing Maui Mayhem for you because I really want to visit Hawaii. Happy reading.

[Zermeena]

Thank you Becky! I have wanted to get back to this series for a while.

Jennifer, thank you for the Christian Rom/Com series, "Good Girls Don't Come Last," by Jennifer Youngblood! I love this author, but this genre is a departure from her other books. They are such a delight to read.

I am only familiar with one of your author picks, so I chose the "Merry Wrath" series for you to continue. Enjoy!

Thanks, Zermeena! I been on a Hawaii mystery binge so this add to the fun.

I'm actually going back to the islands for a week to visit family and can't wait! I hope you make it there really soon!

[Meg]

Hello, Marianne: I was going back and forth between two of your choices, and decided on the Bibliophile series for your November reads.

Hi Linda,
The only ones of yours I’m familiar with are the Nikki Heat books, and then only from the television series, but I think I’ll pick those for you.

Thanks Helen! I probably read the first two books when the TV series was still on but am happy to get to these books and get them off my shelf.

Started reading book 3 in Bibliophile Series today

[Linda]

Marianne wrote: "Started reading book 3 in Bibliophile Series today"

Love that series! I will be starting book 7 in it in a few days after I finish my first serial reader book.

[Linda]

Finished my first - Heat Rises. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed Castle. Wish it wasn't such a crazy busy time of year and I could start re-watching the TV show.

[Zermeena]

I finished Wine Tastings Are Murder and Beauty Expos Are Murder. Loved them both. Now I've moved on to Antique Auctions Are Murder.

[Zermeena]

I finished all three of my Poppy McAllister books and loved them all. They make me laugh so hard! I can't wait for the next book to come out next year.

[Cheryl A.]

I completed High Heels and Big Deals on November 13 and completed Weddings, Lace, and Cake in the Face: A Sweet Romcom Novel November 15. These are from the Good Girls Don't Come Last series by Jennifer Youngblood. This completes the most recent books of this series. I can hardly wait for book 5!

[Marianne]

I have completed both books for this month and really enjoy this series looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

[Helen]

I’ve finished my first and am halfway through my second.
Sadly, both audiobooks are abridged.

[Meg]

I finished my first book earlier this month, and have the second for later.

Btw, did I miss any announcements about the December serial challenge? Does anyone know if we're having one?

[Helen]

I finished my second a couple of days ago.

[Linda]

Finished my 2nd, Frozen Heat last night. Now I want to watch some Castle!
