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.

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

Finished the 19th Coffeehouse Mystery Series Honey Roasted

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.

I finished both my Hannah Swenson books.

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

Finished my first,
Love the Kiwi humour.

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.

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.
