Hi Linda,
Sorry about the delay responding. I’ve been dealing with the consequences of a house break in and a stolen car.
I don’t know any of your series, but the Charlotte Graham ones look interesting, so I’ll choose those for you.

Christene - The Serial Reader challenge has a hard deadline. When selectors are paired, the challenge is closed for new players that month. Please join us for the April challenge. I will be posting it in a couple of weeks.

[Linda]

Finished my first, Murder at the Falls and really enjoyed the story.

[Conni]

Finished the 19th Coffeehouse Mystery Series Honey Roasted

[Helen]

Thank you, Linda, Meg and Nell. My car was assessed yesterday. It looks like there was very little damage, but it will be at least a week before I get it back.

You sure have been through an upsetting experience. I'm happy to know that your car is in very good shape. Hopefully the week goes by quickly.

[Zermeena]

I finished both my Hannah Swenson books.

[Conni]

I finished the Second Coffee House Mystery book . I am now caught up with the series. She needs to hurry and write another one !

[Helen]

Finished my first,
Love the Kiwi humour.

[Helen]

Finished my second . The author ramps up the descriptions of the two hunky males in this one a bit too much for my taste, although the mystery was good.

[Linda]

Finished my second March book, Murder on High. I enjoyed the first one this month better but I like that these move around and so are very different from each other.
