This series is a bit corny, but it's the perfect thing to listen to as I set back up in my school library.

Finding out a bit about bookbinding was the best feature of this cozy mystery. Brooklyn leads an exciting life that seems to attract dead bodies. The San Francisco/Marin County setting with plenty of wine, food, a guru, jewelry made from fruit, an art institute, beauty and the beast is ripe for intrigue. The plot may not hold up perfectly but it's still fun.

TrishTheBibliophile @Beckys_Books That's one I didn't expect to hear!!! 8y
josie281 Oh! Shakespeare collection or Choose Your own Adventure! 8y
zombie_kitty1987 I choose not to listen and close the door to my library in your face 😐😐😐😑 8y
TrishTheBibliophile @zombie_kitty1987 That sounds like what my answer would be!! 8y
Beckys_Books @TrishTheBibliophile I'm a really horrible speller! 8y
Leniverse Well, if that's the rules then obviously I would own whatever book was deemed suitable by the Rulemakers. And all my other books would be... um... held in trust for the public, not really owned merely... protected. You shall not pass! These are not the books you are looking for. 8y
KarenUK If I really really really had to pick one.... I'd say a Complete Works of Agatha Christie! 8y
jpmcwisemorgan I'm going with @Leniverse on this one. That's a brilliant idea! 8y
Leniverse Thank you, @jpmcwisemorgan 😁 8y
CuriousG Is there such a thing as the Collected Works of Margaret Atwood? I'm going to say there is....and I'll just use duct tape to join them together if it comes to that 8y
OrangeMooseReads I would laugh maniacally, grab all the books, and run away still laughing 8y
Celeste57 I am in accord with both @zombie_kitty1987 and @Leniverse . But if I absolutely HAD to choose, it would be a Bible. And then the Narnia omnibus. Followed by many tears. 😩 8y
Crystalblu I can't even! 8y
Ubookquitous Complete works of Shakespeare 8y
Tamra Just say no. 8y
Garabrandtreviews Eva Luna by Isabel Allende. 8y
TrishTheBibliophile @OrangeMooseReads sounds like me! I don't think I could choose! 8y
Sarah1960 "Rebecca" would have to stay with me! 8y
Oblomov26 Not sure I can choose just one, the first thought to leap into my head was Les Miserable, but then I found myself thinking about all of the other books that decision would mean foregoing. Nope can't do it. 8y

Still on a cosy mystery kick. This particular series has always been a bit up-and-down for me, but I'm liking this book so far.
