It was my 5-years-#litsyversary this week. And it‘s weird to think how different everything - my life, the world - was back then. But it‘s also kind of cool, because there is one thing that hasn‘t changed and that‘s me reading and loving books.

This one was a cozy mystery that makes you crave cookies. I saw most of the plot-twists coming before they happened. But there are cookie-recipes in the book and that is a new favourite of mine.

Read my first Hannah Swensen mystery during #Scarathlon & loved it. I added this cozy series to my #SeriesLove2023 list. I enjoyed this one just as much. Hannah is a great character & the supporting cast of characters are fun too.

I enjoyed the second book in this series, and I love that it's super long. I did have to stop myself from going on a binge because there's so many good horror books on my TBR that I hope to read this month too. #Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter #Clwojick

Another cozy mystery under my belt, and this second book in the “Hannah Swensen” series didn‘t disappoint.

3✨ Hannah is modeling as a star baker in the first ever Dessert Bake off in Lake Eden. When one of the judges, who no one is really a fan of, is murdered it puts everyone on edge. I guessed who it was a few chapters before it was revealed and will have to try the cookie recipes in this second book too. #scarathon #TeamSlaughter @Clwojick I also did word search on this: 512*10+15 (genre)+1 =5,136 😱🥰

I devoured this on a plane ride pretty much in one sitting. It was cute and fun, though I‘ll admit I liked it less than the first one as I think Hannah came off meaner and more judgemental in this book which didn‘t fit the cosy mystery vibe that well for me. Still, felt it had to be a pick since I read it in about 3 hours and enjoyed!

It‘s our last day in Estonia and we‘re just sitting in a cafe reading for a bit before heading to the airport. I decided to go right on to the second Hannah Swenson book as I wanted something easy, comforting and page turning to read on the plane. Maybe I feel like this one is more mean spirited than the first one a little? But not so much I‘m not enjoying it

Finished. Enjoyable read. Not sure if I will read the entire series but it was a good distraction. If you like baking this book has 7 recipes for you. There is also a index to help you out.

A lovely diversionary audio that I finished on my commute in. I figured out the killer earlier than the last book but still at least 3/4 in- I‘d call that a win!

The lack of technology in these books makes me laugh given it was 06-07. But then I think about where my rural community was at the time and it‘s fairly accurate. On a related note- any of you thinking about going into criminal justice or changing your career path to it: don‘t. Lol.

Avanders 🤭 lol I hear ya 😁 I‘ve been watching the Hallmark movies of this series... but there are only 5 so imma have to switch to these audios 😁. Maybe they‘ll replace my Coffeehouse Mysteries as my default audio... 🤔 5y
BethM @Avanders those must be on the hallmark mystery station? We don‘t get that one 😭 I did about 5-6 of the coffeehouse mysteries and then burned out. 5y
Avanders Yeah I‘m pretty sure that‘s right ... I don‘t know how much longer we‘ll get it, but it‘s really nice having it now! I could def see burning out on the coffeehouse set... I felt the same way for several in the middle... I‘m on 14 now (!) and at some point, it definitely started getting better again. Meanwhile, it‘s just something familiar and easy to listen to when I‘m not focused on something else. ☺️ 5y

I am really glad that I asked my sister for this author's name over the summer. They're quick reads that leave the same feel good feelings other people get from Hallmark movies. (For me at least.). And there's that little touch of home feel in there too. My family lives in a small city in Minnesota and the setting for these books is small town Minnesota.

This series is definitely my "I need a quick pick me up murder mystery."

I listened to the audio, and overall, I‘d say it was ok. To be honest, nothing was super-appealing about this one, and I think I‘ll probably stop the series here. Nothing was really wrong with it, either, but just not appealing enough for me to keep going.

Finished both these murder mysteries this weekend. They're not going to win any awards for plot or realism, but they're a pretty solid palate cleanser and they have some fun recipes.

i used to read this series years ago and quite enjoyed them until i couldn't take the live triangle anymore. Was surprised to find a tv series based on this series. Stumbled on it completely by accident yesterday. might watch a few more (until the triangle drives me crazy again)

I've been enjoying this cozy mystery series. I mean, you can't read all serious stuff all the time. At least I can't. The writing is not he best ever, but it's good enough for some escapist fluff.
