Do we have books for April

I could do April

can I do dec

if so can I do holiday?

I´ll do July - Bakery.

Michaela's Picks for July

Theme is Cooking - Bakery:
The Peridale Café Mysteries by Agatha Frost, starting with Pancakes and Corpses.



Member's Choice series is the Patricia Smith Cruise Mysteries by Steve Higgs, starting with The Missing Sapphire of Zangrabar.

Yes, there are three books for August. I was going by Cathy's earlier post but didn't finish setting up Wreath of Deception. Nell saw Cathy's later post and finished setting up the final books. So, due to my messing up we now have three books. Sorry for the confusion.

You can put me down for October if you’d like!

Michelle wrote: "You can put me down for October if you’d like!"

Will do.

Theme for September is US Region - New England
The featured series is Lobster Shack Mysteries by Shari Randall set in Connecticut


Member's Choice is Veronica Speedwell by Deanna Raybourn

Theme for October 2020 is Clothes/Fashion
Featured series is Murder Wears A Little Black Dress by Debra Sennefelder

Member’s choice is Dead-End Detective by Amanda Flower

I love Amanda Flower's books, but I doubt I'll be able to get copy of Dead-End Detective next month, as it's a very new release. I'll try, though!

I heard from Jaxnsmon to pick books for December

I really don't have any holiday books so we will go with a different theme

I don't see that have read either of these authors

Theme
Books / Bookshop /Library
Author will be Elizabeth Kane Buzzelli
Series is called A Little Library Mystery. 4 books in series

Book one is A Most Curious Murder

Members Choice

Murder's No Votive Confidence by Christin Breecher

series is A Nantucket Candle Maker Mystery

Four books in this series too

I went to Nantucket this summer so I thought this would be interesting to read.

Thanks Alice

Thank you Nell for posting the books. I finally got the threads set up. I apparently have a bad router so internet service has been spotty. My new one should arrive Saturday, thank goodness.

You're welcome.
My router died a few weeks ago so I remember the frustration. Hope you are back on line soon.

I got the new router set up but the tech hadn't told me everything I needed to know, so I had no internet until today. I went and sat in a fast food parking lot to check e-mail and take care of bills, but it was too cold and uncomfortable to stay longer. I just got back on line today.

erk not the best!

Oh just wondering when the thread will be set up for 2021 (puts hands behind back and wanders off whistling, promptly falls over because she forgot her crutches!)
