That's very broad. It needs narrowing down some :)
Oh, by crafts are you thinking as a hobby, for sale in a non-store setting, or a store?

Oh, I think I've got it now. I took crafts (#6) and business owner (#10) as two separate nominations, when I think you meant a business owner of a craft store. So I have you for that and male main character.

Hobby Farm - a small (under 10 acre) farm usually with either animals that others can come see or working with fibers (wool, alpaca) or produce stands, bees, etc. There are several series that come to mind, Josiah Reynolds, who has bees, is one.
Caribbean or other island setting.
Bonnie , are there any Magical baking books you know of?

I can think of two - Ellery Adams, Peach Pies and Alibis
and Bailey Cates, Brownies and Broomsticks

I like series set in the outdoors, where the setting plays a large role in the mystery and the development of the characters. An example is William Kent Krueger's Cork O'Connor series that takes place in wild areas of Minnesota. So, I'd like to nominate a theme of "The Great Outdoors." I'm always looking for authors whose love of nature speaks to the readers in their books.
Garden Center/NurseryHome Owner's Association
Western Dude Ranch
American Western National Parks
The Grand Canyon Mule Ride

Also, most of yours seem to be pretty limited for series to choose from."Oh sorry, because of the post above mine, I thought this was also a thread where we could also post themes that we would 'like' to see. Please feel free to delete my posts from this thread, then.

Books mentioned in this topic
Peach Pies and Alibis (other topics)Brownies and Broomsticks (other topics)
- There will be a list of up to 20 themes.
- Each month the book selector will choose one book of their personal choice. They will also choose one of the themes, and pick a book to fit.
- After a theme is chosen it will be struck through and not be allowed to be chosen again.
If a theme you really wanted has already been chosen, make that your personal choice book. It's our hope that everyone will get to pick exactly what books they want, and no one will get stuck with a theme the don't want. ☺
So start nominating themes!
