Writing Mysteries

This writer mama treated herself to a day and half of solitude! Finished two mystery short stories. A wild sea and a quiet room of one‘s own create magic! #amwriting #writermama #shortstories #alonete

BookishMarginalia Woohoo! 3y

Okay #whodunitthesequel friends, I think I collected everything correctly. Some of us read ahead, which is great, which accounts for one of us having multiple books. But, for the most part, we are on schedule.

These are the books not mentioned in the comments, I believe. Serial Killer is lost in the mail, so we have to decide what to do. Anyone have Cocaine Blues? The other three were I had the last few months and sent on to @Tiffy_Reads .👇🏻

bookwrm526, Jess_Read_This, JenlovesJT47, Pamwurtzler, ferskner, Librarybelle, robinb, ScientistSam, Schlinkles, CatLass007, Mollyanna, BookwormAHN, aschermetz, TricksyTails, shendrix413

Librarybelle So, I know a few of you have not received a book for some time. @bookwrm526 , would you mind sending me your mailing address? When I get my next book and finish it, I can send it to you. You can email me - it‘s my Litsy username AT gmail DOT com. We could then continue the rotation, knowing that a few of us may not receive a book for a rotation or two. 6y

CatLass007 I mailed Cocaine Blues on to @Mollyanna And she posted that she had received it. 6y

Mollyanna @CatLass007 I still have not received Cocaine Blues. Hopefully it will be here today or tomorrow. 6y

Hey #whodunitthesequel friends! Earlier, I made check in post, but I found a post @Tiffy_Reads made when we first started, so I can tag everyone! @ScientistSam made a great point that we say most recent book we received.

I know a few of our friends are going through bad times. I think I can speak for everyone that we‘re here for you. If you‘re a little behind, that‘s fine! If you would like to miss a couple rounds, that‘s fine too - let us know!

Librarybelle I last had and sent on its way the beginning of July:

The Man Who Loved Books Too Much: The True Story of a Thief, a Detective, and a World of Literary Obsession

robinb I will be sending out this one to @ScientistSam next week!

Jess_Read_This I don‘t have a book this month. I sent Silent Lies to @JenlovesJT47 last week. I think the person who sends to me mentioned she doesn‘t have a book either and thought it got lost in the mail.

Silent Lies: A gripping psychological thriller with a shocking twist

(edited) 6y

ScientistSam I have

Snowblind: A Thriller

bookwrm526 I received Silent Lies two months ago and sent it on to @Jess_Read_This. I did not get a book this month - @Tiffy_Reads tagged me in a post to say that she had mailed me something, but it never arrived, and I tagged her on here and sent her an email and never heard back from her (edited) 6y

Librarybelle @bookwrm526 Ok! Do you happen to know which book you did not receive? We may need to make a list of MIA books once everyone posts. 6y

JenlovesJT47 I just received Silent Lies from @Jess_Read_This ! 6y

bookwrm526 @Librarybelle I‘m guessing it would have been I Am Not a Serial Killer, based on the list you have here! 6y

BookwormAHN I received Arrowood from @Mollyanna earlier this month. 6y

Pamwurtzler I just sent The Notting Hill Mystery to @ferskner . She‘ll probably have it on Monday. 6y

Librarybelle @bookwrm526 Ok thanks! 6y

ferskner I don't have a book this round, but it doesn't look like there's a gap in what I sent off last and what is on its way to me. 🤷 6y

aschermetz I have Murder on Black Swan Lake and it is getting sent back out on Monday or Tuesday to @shendrix413! 6y

Librarybelle Thank you for your responses, ladies! We know of one book so far that is MIA. I‘ll see what other responses we get, then do a recap for everyone. @robinb @Schlinkles @Jess_Read_This @ScientistSam @bookwrm526 @JenlovesJT47 @BookwormAHN @Pamwurtzler @ferskner @aschermetz 6y

shendrix413 I am so behind! I have midnight in the bright ideas bookstore and still life and another one that I haven't even opened yet! 6y

Librarybelle @shendrix413 It‘s okay! And since you send to me, take your time! I‘ll make note of the titles you have, so we know those books are accounted for. 6y

Mollyanna I have

Hollywood Homicide

Librarybelle Thanks, @Mollyanna ! 6y

aschermetz @Librarybelle @shendrix413 The other one that Sara has is Devil in a Blue Dress, just FYI! 6y

Librarybelle @aschermetz 🙂👍 6y

I am not currently reading anything by Sue Grafton, but felt it appropriate to post a little something here in celebration of her life. Sue was definitely one of my favourite authors and the Kinsey Milhone series has been a favourite for at least 15 years now - I can remember finding her books at the library and being thrilled whenever I found the next in the series. And it's extra tragic that the series will end at "Y" ? Rest In Peace, Sue. ❤️
