Nice list! I plan on reading some Holmes for the Classic Mystery challenge myself. I just read the summary to Who Killed Sherlock Holmes? and it does sound very interesting! Look forward to hearing your thoughts on it. Also, I do plan on restarting the In Death series this year but not sure I'll get to it during March.

I have 4 books on my TBR and then leaving room for random mystery pics for the rest.
A Murder in Time (new to me)
Death Threads (cozy mystery/hobby)
The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag (kid detective)
Betrayal in Death (sequel)
Edit:

My complete TBR is posted on Books Amino: http://aminoapps.com/p/xv31bp

Awesome! You're reading the In Death series too? It is one of my Mom's favs. She's up to date on the series. In fact, we're going to pick up the newest one from the library tonight. Maybe I should put the first one on my TBR for March. It would be a re-read for me, but I never read past that one!

Your other books look interesting as well, especially A Murder in Time. It seems like something that's right down my alley.

Thanks for joining us! You have several interesting books in your line up as well. My TBR is growing by leaps and bounds from this thread LOL. A few of your books are on Kindle Unlimited I noticed. Do you have a subscription? I have one, but I've not been using it like I should. I definitely need to work on that. Look forward to hearing your thoughts on the books!

2. Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
3. Murder with Fried Chicken and Waffles by AL Herbert

I may read 2nd book to the death series as I just finished book 1 and enjoyed it. And I have it out from library right now.

I may read 2nd book to the cozy series I also read last month. I don't know the title of 2nd book but it was just released in dec or jan and I hauled it then. It has a cat on cover. First book I got from library and it takes place in a magic bookstore.

Then I'm leaving the rest open!

1st book called crime and poetry

Cathy,
I read Night of the Living Deed a few months ago. You're going to love it!

Hi Megan, That's great to hear. I've really been looking forward to reading it for quite a while. I can't wait to get to it!

I made a post with all the books i'll be reading in March. Check it out.

Nancy Drew! I had a huge collection of those growing up. I should go back and try to read them again. I remember there was one cover that creeped me out! I couldn't look at it lol.

Is that Dan Brown's Lost Symbol? I read that last year and enjoyed it. Looking forward for your thoughts on these books!

So many people joining us are reading the In Death series by J.D. Robb! I read the first one years ago, but never continued. Maybe I do really need to add that one into my TBR for the month.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the books you pick up during the month!

Great blog post! I have Night Film, but haven't read it yet. I have also read three of the Aurora Teagarden books and enjoy those. I don't think I've heard of any of the other books on your list besides A Study in Scarlet. Look forward to hearing your thoughts on them!

Thanks. I think i've had Night Film for about a year now, and I know how some people really love it. So heres hoping it is great. I love Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stackhouse series, so I've been meaning to get to this one too.

You should give the books a look see, I'll def keep y'all posted.

Great lineup! Is "Slice of Murder" the Pizza Lover's Mystery or another. It looks like there are several books by the same title.

Awesome list! I have read Murder on the Orient Express. Troi really likes the Blanche series. I have them and still need to read them. Seems like I remember someone reading the Chicken and Waffles book last year. It sounds like fun!

Your list sounds awesome! You can't go wrong with Nancy Drew. One of these days I want to try the Theodosia series. Cat in the Stacks is on my eventual TBR too, but I don't think I'll get them started this year.

We won't hold you to your TBR, but it's always good to have a plan right! It sounds like several people are going to be reading an "In Death" book this month.

Your blog is awesome! You have some great picks for the month. My daughter has been wanting to read some of the original Sherlock stories. Are you enjoying the Blanche books so far. I know that Troi really likes them. I found all four at a book sale last year, but haven't started them yet.

Thanks for checking it out! I haven't read the original Sherlock Holmes stories in many of moons. I hope she loves them! Get her that mystery mood.

Oh yeah, I read the first two books last year for MMM. I really liked them too, but I think the second one is probably my favorite. Blanche Among the Talented Tenth. I would recommend them to people who like a slow burn mystery. I was surprised that I had found them online and one was signed, I was pretty lucky in that manner.

ok I made a tentative TBR. Here's my video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mnMY...

now if only I can find my yellow book. LOL

Yes, my A Slice of Murder is from the Pizza Lovers series.

I'm planning to read 2 mysteries in March--Murder on Capitol Hill and The Life We Bury!

Hi Emily! I've had the Capital Crimes series on my to read list for a bit. I look forward to your thoughts on the series!

I've been reading the
[book:Red Queen
very slowly to make it last until march 1st :). I haven't read more than 2 books a month in a long time so it's a nice goal to set for myself to read more again, so i'm shooting to actually read all 8 in that 1 month! :)

I did a video TBR on my channel. Hopefully I can get to all of them.

I highly recommend The Cat in the Stacks mystery series. You have a cat so you will appreciate the series. Diesel is a great cat character.
