Hi KathyD

For you I am picking The Baileys series, simply because that's the one with the least number of books, so maybe you can read a couple and get closer to finishing off the series.

Happy reading!

Hi Chloe all those books sound great but I recognize the Gallagher Girls and want to read the series myself so that's what I pick for you this month. Enjoy!!
