This is my team‘s #buddyread, and it was enjoyable enough. I haven‘t read any of the other books in the series so I don‘t know if I can fairly judge. But it was festive and fun!

Book 4 in the series. While it isn‘t my favorite in the series, it was enjoyable and the narration was good.

This was the 4th book in the series, but the first I read. This was okay. A famous author comes to the town of Normal and stays at the campground Mae owns. And a murder happens, so she has to solve it, even though she‘s dating the detective. I feel like she caused more trouble trying to solve the crime…

Ruthiella I‘m also irritated when a detective (amateur or not) makes the situation worse in the course of the investigation. But at least you can cross this off your list now. 🎅🏻🔪💀🎄 4mo

Andrew65 Not the first disappointing review of this one I‘ve seen. Well done on finishing it. 🎄🎅🏼🎄 4mo
Catsandbooks Yeah I bailed on it. Characters drove me crazy 🤪 4mo
Laughterhp @Catsandbooks If it was any longer, I definitely would have bailed. It was only 2hrs of my time! 4mo
Catsandbooks @Laughterhp wow you must listen at a super high speed! 4mo
Laughterhp @Catsandbooks I do! I typically always listen at 2x speed. If I hate it but want to finish, I‘ll speed up to 2.10x or even 2.20x! 4mo
Catsandbooks @Laughterhp 😮 I listen at 1.3 or 1.5 max lol 4mo
BookmarkTavern It‘s a cute cover at least! 😂 4mo

Not starting off well for books this holiday season. I got a 1/3 of the way through and had to bail cause everyone was annoying me. It might just be my mood though as I've been struggling with my depression lately. Instead of regular depression, it's now festive ✨seasonal depression✨😂 Least I found 65 words for the word search!

🎄📚🤓 A cozy read that I was easily able to follow along with! The narrator did a great job with the different voices for each character. I may take a look at the others in this series as they‘re free on audible atm. 3.5 hrs of reading time.

🎄: 121

Catsandbooks I'm glad you liked it! I actually ended up bailing on it about a 1/3 through 😬 4mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 4mo
TheSpineView I'll check this out! 4mo

I had fun, caught up with the Laundry Club. Loved the introduction of Mae‘s foster mother who she was initially reluctant to welcome back into her life - but soon warms too. This series is as much about the everyday lives of the citizens of Normal as it is whatever murder Mae comes across. Mae‘s first date with Hank was a beautiful cheese fest. Looking forward to the next one!

Totally told myself it was ok to read a Christmas book in July 😝🎄

Q84 I've enjoyed this series. Binged them through and seeing how many there are, that's something. 9mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Q84, they are quite morish! There‘s about 30, I think. 9mo

A little hard to pay attention to.

Couldn‘t get through this one. The main character was immature and so rude to a person she had just met. I was a third of the way into the book and no crime had even happened yet. Had to put it down. #winterreadathon @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES

Andrew65 A real shame as love the title. 😔 1y

These so far is my least favorite of the series. I had the mystery figured out very early into the book. I also didn't think there was much else going on that was very interesting. I've enjoyed some of the other books of the series, but this one wasn't as good as those. I like the cover though, it looks so Christmassy.

This was an impulse borrow from the library. ✅Christmas ✅cozy mystery ✅campers ✅Kentucky - A woman owns a campground and rents out the campers. She‘s part of a book club with various characters and the small town is quaint. The MC sticks her nose into police investigations to solve murders. The mystery wasn‘t much of a surprise, but there was a small twist at the end. The narrator wasn‘t that good, IMO.

I spent the first hour wishing someone would hurry up and get murdered. Lol. On no planet would a cop let his girlfriend take home a murder suspect because they're friends or let his girlfriend constantly interfere in his investigation. If you can roll with that, it's fun enough. Best cover ever! 26 pts #WinterGames2020 #MerryReaders #BookmasBingo for book mentions a Christmas book #LittenListen Snow on the cover
