Cowboy Justice Association (Books 3 - 6)

Hi Pat - how cool is this - I know you want cowboys .....so I pick Cowboy Justice Association
Hope this is a good series. I actually haven't read any of the series you posted so I'm glad we 'chatted' yesterday :D

Trea

Since I am unfamiliar with your list, I used random.org to select Fatal by Marie Force for you.

Awesome! *does happy dance in chair* I have been hoping that this would be picked, I really want to finish this series out!

Kristy wrote: "Kristy's April 2016 Finish What You Started (Series) Challenge:

Kristy, for you I choose the Alex Cross series by James Patterson. Happy Reading!

Dear Maya,
since I love dystopia genre and after looking at your chosen series I just had to add #1 book in series also to my own TBR shelf, I choose for you to finish
The Chemical Garden series in April :)

~Michelle~

I'm going to pick Hitchhiker's Guide for you because I need to get back to this series too. Martin Freeman kept me company on a 7 hour road trip two years ago reading The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, but I've yet to read the rest.

Hi again, Joyce!

It's a tough call for me. 2 of your series are on my FWYS neverending list. A third is a series I've caught up on and can't wait for the next book!

Even though your Dusty Bookshelf list has books from Kathy Reichs and Mary Janice Davidson, I'm going with my personal favorite here:
The Dresden Files

Hi Erin!
For April, I choose Dexter for you to finish off...happy reading!! =)

Yayyyyy <3 I was hoping for this one. I'm kind of in love with the series. The first one was A LOT better than I thought it would be.

Dee!

I choose the Vampire for Hire series for you (even though Even Gods Fall in Love was calling me) because you're closest to finishing it and I want to cheer you on.

KathyD,

I pick the Brown Siblings for you. This series is on my TBR but I haven't started it yet.

Susan A, my pick for you is Jamie Brodie Mysteries. Happy reading!

Danielle wrote: "KathyD,

Thanks so much Danielle!! I highly recommend the series! I've read the first two and L-O-V-E-D them!! =)

Melissa I choose for you the Eternal Guardians, I have the first on my kindle.

Zuzana wrote: "Susan A, my pick for you is Jamie Brodie Mysteries. Happy reading!"

Thanks!

Thanks Louise - I really enjoy this series. Will be good to get back to it!

Joanne,

I chose for you
Newsflesh Trilogy by Mira Grant

Enjoy!

Danielle--

So, so hard to choose. I'm either reading or want to read the series you have listed.

I'm going with Rylee Adamson, Happy, reading
