Congratulations, Kristina!

Your silent partner for this enterprise is Lyn. Please PM her if you should be offline for more than 48 hours. Otherwise, she will also monitor and respond to requests if not responded to (sometimes real life can takeover), after 48 hours.

Thanks!

Here are my picks for you:
Silent Scream (Romantic Suspense, #11; Minneapolis, #2) by Karen Rose

Fatal Consequences (Fatal, #3) by Marie Force

Happy reading!

Lauren (laurenjberman) | 1228 comments Thanks Kristina!
I want to read all three of those, so it's a difficult choice. I will probably go with Fatal Consequences

Hi, Kristina.

I've just landed here, though "dark fantasy and horror writing" is not really my thing. Could you choose me 3 not-too-dark books from Susan's Bookopoly shelf ?


message 7: by Kristina Simon (new)

Kristina Simon (kristinasimon) | 801 comments Hi, Susan!

Here are a few "light" reads:

Light (Empty Space Trilogy #1) by M. John Harrison ~ LOL, couldn't resist that title ;-)
Ten Big Ones (Stephanie Plum, #10) by Janet Evanovich ~ definitely not dark...
First Among Sequels (Thursday Next, #5) by Jasper Fforde

Hope you enjoy whatever you pick!

Cozy Mystery Bingo Challenges

A new theme is called each week and we are nine weeks into this round with a few teams close to winning. Kimberly is the organizer and she runs a few rounds a year. It is a lot of fun!

ETA: They always have a place each round for individuals who just want to play along and not join a team.
