I have way more than five series also. Selecting five makes it manageable. You can list other series next month.

You listed 6 series in your post. Do you want someone to pick from the first five?

[Linda C]

I am going to include series where I have read the first volume only. Then by reading volumes 2 and 3 I should be able to decide if I want to continue. This will either help in removing volumes from my TBR pile or adding more titles to my wishlists.

A Piece of Cake


Mrs. Jeffries


Aunt Dimity


Hemlock Falls


Lucy Valentine

[Anastasia]

Laura Levine


Joanne Pence


Kerry Greenwood


Maddy Hunter

You have soooooo many great series to choose from, it was a difficult choice, but I chose the Cleo Coyle, Coffeehouse (ongoing) for you. Please let me know how you like this series as I am really tempted by it, but it's a tad on the expensive side for me, so I will have to TRY to limit myself to one of these a month...

[Katherine]

Thanks Kay- I've been having a hard time choosing what series to read- This has been a fun series to read in the past and I'm looking forward to reading more of it.

[Sandra]

Mary W. I picked 'Agnes Barton Senior Sleuths by Madison Johns' for you. It's a series I've had my eye on, but haven't gotten yet.

[Fairlee]

Thanks Cheryl.
Looking forward to starting this series :0)

[Anastasia]

Mary M2 I'm choosing MC Beaton The Hamish Macbeth series. I prefer this one to Agatha Raisin although I like both. There are quite a lot of books in these series and they are a quick read. Hope you enjoy them.

Thanks Shelii, I have had my eye on them for a while but hadn't got round to reading them. This is a new to me series and I've had the books sitting in my Pile for ages.
