Happy reading!

Sounds fun!
I've been meaning to read Jaws for a while now. (And MPR was just talking about how great the movie is with relevancy with what's going on today.)

1.

Question first. A series I read has had some of its books turned into Hallmark TV movies, Hannah Swensen aka Murder, She Baked. If this is ok, I know at least one that I'm planning to read soon. I'll have to check again which books go with which episodes (I've read some of them already.) Thanks, Leigh!
