1: several: the lowcountry (SC, GA), Louisiana, beach or island settings, libraries or bookstores.
2: no, just don‘t give me a flat character. I have found lately that it‘s nice to read about women my age, but it‘s not a real preference.

“Merry brought in the steak and gravy and set it on a trivet next to the vase of blue hydrangeas in the center of the table. Then she carried in mashed potatoes, fried squash, butter peas, green bean casserole, sliced tomatoes, fried apples, and biscuits.“
And now I have to make this menu sometime in the next week. I might skip the hydrangeas in the middle of the table.
I needed something set in the present day, after reading Arabella of Mars. I love this series, her family dynamics are laugh-out-loud funny. And there are some things that you only get if you live in the South.
pickThe husband and wife PI Team solve murder cases in the Charleston, SC area. Liz and Nate live on a island and drink Cheerwine, the soft drink of the south. A cozy mystery.
1/ the tagged mystery series which started with Lowcountry Boil.
2/ Starship Troopers — I know it‘s bad, but I still like it.
3/ pizza, cookies, and pie
4/ anyone who wants to do this.

I got distracted from Ursula K. Le Guin by @Reecaspieces ‘ post about this new book in a series I love. I had no idea this title existed, so I had to go run and check Hoopla, and they had it, so I was forced to check it out.😄
pick🍭🍭🍭🍭Review is up on my blog. Stop by and say hi. This is such a cute entertaining series https://reecaspieces.com/2018/06/03/lowcountry-bookshop-by-susan-m-boyer/
panI've learned a valuable lesson on why I should never start in the middle of series. This is the 7th book in this mystery series that I got via #NetGalley. Author doesn't hold a candle to Agatha Christie (whose books I never read in order). I felt disconnected from the main characters and confused about other things mentioned in the book but not explained like the bad dreams/fear of tropical storms. The actual mystery plot was meh as well.
pickLiz and Nate are a husband and wife team of PI‘s in Charleston, SC. This time they are looking into a hit and run incident on a rainy night. When they take a break they drink the soft drink of the south, Cheerwine. Liz has a very colorful family with lots of animals. I enjoyed this mystery due to the light and airy atmosphere in the book.
Super excited that the grill at work is open! It's gonna be hard to not have a burger every day. Best lunch break with my book.
