My bookish goodies!
so-soRead this for my May Cozy Reading Challenge Bookclub.. Wasnt my favorite but I seem to be part of the minority. Everyone loved the talking Cat Marshmallow but talking animals isn't something I really haven't be able to get into
so-soI spent today reading this cozy mystery. While it kept me engaged there were problems with it. The psychic connection between Mimi and her cat , Marshmallow was hard to believe. Especially when Marshmallow understood other animals and translated conversations. There were other issues but I don‘t want to give any spoilers. Just suspend your disbelief and enjoy the Lee family.
so-soSomehow this entertained me enough that the flaws didn't really bother me. I wanted something light and easy to listen to on my walks, and this fit the bill. The talking cat sidekick was great, but there were lots of things that had me thinking "that's not how that works" or "nobody does that!"
panOh boy, I did not enjoy this book one bit. For me, the writing felt very stilted; it honestly felt like trudging through mud attempting to get through Mimi's inner dialogue. Mimi put herself into so many dangerous and ridiculous situations that it was hard for me to sympathize with her at all. I can't think of a single thing that would make me recommend this book to someone.

Cozy mysteries are my comfort reads! Mimi Lee Gets a Clue is the first book I‘ve finished for the #AwesomeApril Readathon.
Mimi owns a dog grooming business called Hollywoof and has a cat named Marshmallow who she teams up with to solve a murder! Ok so you have to suspend reality to enjoy this book but it was cute and entertaining—just what I needed right now 🐈
bailedThis one just isn't for me. Too many moments of me going ??!!?? Mimi goes to interview a guy WHO RAISES DOGS and she TAKES HER CAT??!! Mimi goes to talk with a lawyer IN A LAW OFFICE and she TAKES HER CAT. Mimi goes to a class FOR DOGS and she TAKES HER CAT. Why?!?!?? Also she is supposedly starting her brand new dog grooming business, but in the first five days she comes in late, leaves early, and takes long lunches...not convinced she's cut ⬇️
Waiting in the car while my son is at the Dentist. About to start this book. 📚💚
so-soThe concept is great - a dog groomer / owner of the adorably named Hollywoof - reluctantly adopts a cat with whom she shares a telepathic bond and together they solve a murder. I‘ll likely read the second, but found the first somewhat repetitive (she just kept going back to Russ‘ house) and the romance a tad flat. I‘m interested to see where it goes next book because I do really like the telepathic bond Mimi and Marshmallow share.
Now that I‘m home all day, I have 15 books on the go. I‘m comfortable with 6-8 but this is out of control. How do I focus enough to get through these? Also I‘d planned to read the new Cassandra Clare on the long weekend as a reward because: life. Do I bail on these for the long weekend? #anxiety
I‘m stressed and anxious and so can‘t read, but I keep thinking that if I buy the right book I‘ll be able to read and that doesn‘t work so I think those books are not the right ones and buy more and TLDR version #bookmail
With the surge of news reports, articles, and everyday talk about the pandemic, I picked this cozy mystery to take my mind off things. #saynotostress

pickThis is the first book in this series and I‘m happy to report that the kitty in this book Marshmallow, was very much a contributing character. He was a great addition to this story. Also, note, that as this is the first book in the series, there is a lot of information given about Mimi, her friends, family, and business. Do not let that be a turn off because this was truly an adorable cozy mystery that is sure to delight you!
