The Official Blurb from

Your list is all neat and ready to go! I put up mine with some numbers and figure I will fill it in as I go LOL (I was in a bit of a rush this morning)

My list was pretty easy to set up! Mostly because I set up a list for Seriously Series to avoid genre burnout and swiftly get through my series.
I chose three different series each in a different genre and alternated the books. Series 1 Book 1, Series 2 Book 1, Series 3 Book 1, Series 1 Book 2….you get the idea.
You’ve given yourself some flexibility and there is nothing wrong with that!

I just found out about the Library Lovers Mysteries and I’m now *dying* to get my hands on them!
Hope you like Due or Die. Good luck next week!

I’ve only read Books Can Be Deceiving but it was pretty awesome. I’m hoping to finish the series for Seriously Series.
