DEAR FWYS CHALLENGERS

As the year is winding down, please look at your shelves and see if there is a series you have NOT started that you would want to read next year.
We are going to do have a BUDDY READ thread and that would be a good way to go through a series with a fellow reader.

I will be doing the same. I finished some great series with the help of Lanelle, ~Melissa~, Denise etc

[Susan A]

D.L. wrote: "For Susan A. I pick the Pendergast series (my mom highly recommends them) and Will Trent (because you have the least number of books to finish in that series). Enjoy!"

THanks again for these picks! I read 2 books from each series.

[Connie N.]
