Thank you jaxnsmom. Just clarifying, as I haven’t done this before, I choose a theme that hasn’t already been chosen that year, and nominate two series for that theme?

I'd like to choose the US Region - Pacific Northwest as my theme for April. I have a couple in mind already.
Clarifying as Helen is - do I choose two series to nominate? I've never done this before either.

I will start working on my January theme

Yes, you choose a theme that hasn't been chosen yet for the year, and then pick one series to fit. The second book can be any cozy that you want - no theme to choose. The only limit is that it not be a group read in the last year and a half. Let me know if you have any other questions.

The theme I am choosing for February is historical 1800's
I am selecting the series by Carrie Bebris
I have read the first Pride and Prescience. Her second is Suspense and Sensibility
For my second series I choose Miss Dimple Kilpatrick mysteries

Will there be a featured series/author for March?

Kristie wrote: "Will there be a featured series/author for March?"

Whoops! I've messaged Gail to see if she is still going to choose. My fault for waiting so long. If I don't hear from her, would you like to choose?

Kristie has stepped in to help us and has chosen our March books. We'll be reading Death Among the Doilies in honor of National Craft Month, and Bearly Departed.

Sharon has chosen our books for April.
Murder in Christmas River by Meg Muldoon
Killer Jam by Karen MacInerney

In addition, Sharon has arranged for Ms. Muldoon to participate in the discussion. I hope you'll join in.

Are the Meg Muldoon books only ebooks? i don't see any isbns

Yep, looks like every book in the series is only available as an ebook or an audiobook.

Yes, they are ebooks. And, Murder in Christmas River is a paperback on Amazon.

I am going to try this again:

Alice in Murderland Book1 A Paranormal Book

and Death Plays A Part Book1

I hope these are aok they are both kindle unlimited.

Hope they are good.

Mary

Mary - It's helpful for some of us that the books are available on KU - but at least one of them needs to be available in physical book form. Not everyone has an e-reader. I guessed on the authors of the books because there are more than one book by the same title for each.

Ok, books for May are:

A Dark and Stormy Murder by Julia Buckley Available at the library, and through hoopla as an audio book.

Romeow and Juliet by Kathi Daley Available through library and KU.

Sorry I was in a hurry to get them to you and forgot to put the authors names and n them. Are the books ok?

Mary

Mary - It doesn't look like either was available in book format so I chose after looking at your shelves.

Kathi Daley has 14 different series I think a have book in several of them

Sorry to be so late posting September's books. Becky did her job - I let time get away from me.

For those interested - Handbags and Homicide is available on kindle unlimited.

Michelle has chosen our series reads for October:

Murder At The Palace by Margaret Dumas - first in the Movie Palace Mystery series. (If you're looking for a spooky Halloween read, there's a ghost in this one.)



For the theme, Job-related: A Grave Issue by Lillian Bell - first in A Funeral Parlor Mystery series.

Hilary has chosen November's books and I've posted them so I don't forget. :)

What theme is October and November?

Alice wrote: "What theme is October and November?"

October is job-related; it's posted at msg 21.

November is Beverages (in particular Beer!)

Have the December books been chosen yet?
