Now which will I do? I read a lot of series, so if I choose that it will probably be 2 books from 7 series. BUT, I like the idea of reading from different shelves.

Decided! I read primarily from a limited number of shelves, and, since I am trying hard to catch up on all my many challenges...and so far behind...I have decided to go with 7 books from 2 shelves.

2. Therapy
3. Uneasy Lies: A Helen Keremos Mystery
4. A Question of Belief
5. Scent to Her Grave
