2012 1st in a Series Reading Challenge

The 2012 1st in a Series Reading Challenge is hosted by Bibliophile By the Sea, and it goes from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012. I have quite a few series that I’ve been wanting to start and this is the perfect challenge to help me along.

I’ll be joining at the Series Lover level, which means that I have to start 6 series. I’ll keep track of them here. I’ll also link my reviews to the list.

Here are the series I am hoping to start: 

1. Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles series by Tess Gerritsen 
• The Surgeon
2. The Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich
• One for the Money 
3. Magical Dressmaking mysteries by Melissa Bourbon 
• Pleating for Mercy
4. Piece of Cake mysteries by Jaclyn Brady
• A Sheetcake Named Desire
5. Elm Creek Quilts series by Jennifer Chiaverini 
• The Quilter’s Apprentice 
6. Tess Monaghan series by Laura Lippman
• Baltimore Blues

I will add the titles and reviews of each book that I read after I finish them…hopefully I will be successful with this challenge!
