Hi Linda,
I have the Hidden Staircase series on my TBR list, and would love to hear feedback on it, so I choose that for you. Happy Holidays!

I'm not who you chose these books for, but I've read all four (?) of them so far and have really liked them :)

Hi Meg,
I’m not familiar with any of your series, but as I love islands, I’m choosing Beaver Island for you. Enjoy, and Happy New Year.

"Thank you Meg. A couple of cruises is just what I need for the summer holidays here in Australia.
I'm so glad you chose Beaver Island series for me. I've been seriously trying to get back to these.Wishing you and all our serial reader friends a wonderful Christmas/ holiday! 🎄🎄🎄
I finished my first, Under Lock & Skeleton Key, over the weekend. It was really good and it was different than most cozies with the MC being a magician. Looking forward to the second one later this month.
I finished both my books in the Cat in the Stacks. I enjoyed the second one better than the first.
Finished my second - The Raven Thief. I really like this series. The writing is good and it's all a little different from the regular cozy. So glad there is a reveal at the end or I would not have a clue - not only to the culprit but to how it is all accomplished.

Those born in January have the beautiful and diverse garnet as their birthstone. Garnets are commonly red but also come in an extraordinary range of beautiful colors, including orange, yellow, purple and vibrant green.... Some believe the true value of the garnet birthstone is its power to bring the wearer good health, wealth and happiness.
