Thank you Karen. I only included this series this month because this author has been picked for me the last 3 months and I wanted to see if he would get picked a 4th time. So now 4 different series, 4 different pseudonyms, all 1 author in a row. I won't be going for 5 months in a row though.

Karen, I’m choosing A Piece of Cake mysteries for you. I’ve read the first and liked it: I need to get to the second. Perhaps you’ll inspire me!
Hi Meg,I'm not familiar with many of your choices and I am choosing the Chet and Bernie Series for you. Sounds interesting and happy reading!!

Hi, Cheryl,
You have some good selections here! I'm going to go with the Peridale Cafe series by Angela Frost. Hope you enjoy it!
Hi Jeanette - I'm not familiar with any of your series, but I'm a sucker for cats. So I'm choosing the Norwegian Forest Cat Café Mysteries for you. Happy reading!

Hello Barbara,
I don’t know any of your series, but the Alaskan diner sounds intriguing, so I’m picking those for you.

Thank you, Barbara! I am anticipating I will love this series also!
Finished my first, Pepperoni Pizza Can Be Murder over the weekend and enjoyed it. Glad I had pizza on my dinner menu this weekend.
Conni wrote: "No July challenge?"Steven volunteered for July. I sent a message to Jaxnsmom as a reminder.
Finished both of mine in the Chet and Bernie series and loved them. The narrator is Chet, the dog MC of the books, and it sounds specially good on audio.
Finished my second, A Pizza To Die For. It was fun getting back to this series and I'll have to keep it in mind when I need siblings for a challenge. I'm also now craving pizza.
Sorry guys. Super busy at work.
July challenge has been posted. Please post between now and the 26th.
