Murder With Peacocks | Donna Andrews

Three Weddings...And a Murder So far Meg Langslow's summer is not going swimmingly. Down in her small Virginia hometown, she's maid of honor at the nuptials of three loved ones--each of whom has dumped the planning in her capable hands. One bride is set on including a Native American herbal purification ceremony, while another wants live peacocks on the lawn. Only help from the town's drop-dead gorgeous hunk, disappointingly rumored to be gay, keeps Meg afloat in a sea of dotty relatives and outrageous neighbors. And, in whirl of summer parties and picnics, Southern hospitality is strained to the limit by an offensive newcomer who hints at skeletons in the guests' closets. But it seems this lady has offended one too many when she's found dead in suspicious circumstances, followed by a string of accidents--some fatal. Soon, level-headed Meg's to-do list extends from flower arrangements and bridal registries to catching a killer--before the next catered event is her own funeral...

This is one of my favorite series. I reread it when I‘m stressed or sad or both. It is far from perfect; some of the language is very 90‘s as is the general viewpoint. But it‘s lighthearted and funny and was the first thing to make me laugh when my mom passed. #pop23 #bookthatiwishicouldreadforthefirsttime #iknowthatisnotapeacock

July sucked. I didn‘t realize how much it sucked until I looked through my feed and found I really didn‘t have anything to show for the month. All I read were comfort reads. (Pictured is a character from the lobster fest I found myself at.)

Ruthiella Here‘s hoping August is better! 😀 8mo
MissHel @Ruthiella thank you! 8mo

I finally finished a book. It‘s been 11 days since I finished anything. I kind of wish I‘d bailed on this one. I know part of the problem is that I‘ve been sick for 4 weeks now, which is why this isn‘t a pan, but the story just seemed blah. I never cared about the characters and the ending felt rather ridiculous. I didn‘t hate it, but I‘ll probably forget it by morning. 🤷🏻‍♀️

LeahBergen Sick for four weeks! Poor you. ❤️ 2y
Bookzombie I‘m sorry you have been sick and especially sorry it‘s been for so long. 💗 2y

DGRachel @LeahBergen @Bookzombie Thank you. All tests have so far come back negative, so my doctor decided to just throw meds at it and hope something works. If this one week round of meds doesn‘t work, it‘s onto a CT scan. I really hope the meds work. 2y
Bookzombie @DGRachel I hope so too! Sending healing vibes. 2y
Megabooks I hope you find some answers soon. 💜 2y

The audio itself was fine, but there was a lot of wedding… and three bridezillas. I found some of the wedding traditions odd. I‘m not sure why Meg was in charge of planning three weddings for other people; for a while, I thought maybe she was a wedding planner, but nope. Overall, it was ok. I won‘t be continuing the series

First in the series, barely a pick for me. I know it was supposed to be humorous but I struggled with a main character who was a doormat & a bigot who had no use for the “gay guy” except that she had no problem using him to solve many of the problems that she took on herself. The narrator had a voice that frayed my nerves. The father was the redeeming character although the author did him dirty when it came to solving the mystery. 2 ⭐️ ⬇️

Texreader @Clwojick #scarathlon #buddyread #teamslaughter I unexpectedly worked tonight so I‘ll add this week‘s points to next week after I‘ve calculated them. Sorry! 2y
Clwojick No problem! I know how it goes! I barley got my points in time lol. 2y

Some of you have asked how I make my cards. Here, bottom, dies are loaded to cut paper in my die-cutting machine (a Sizzix), and at top are some of the cut-outs. After this they will get stamped, colored, and assembled. #scarathlon #buddyread @Clwojick

I‘m struggling with this one, a #buddyread for #teamslaughter. I will finish it but I dislike most of the characters (except the dad), and especially the main character, for reasons I‘m putting in a spoiler below. I was hoping for a light read, and it is, but it‘s hitting a low point for me.

Texreader The main character calls a gay guy “whatawaste” because he‘s not dating material. 😡 Um, like, he could be a really good friend if you weren‘t just on the hunt for a man to date? There‘s more to the opposite sex than sex?

Yes I am guessing where this is going, but this part is maddening.

Clwojick I haven‘t read my book yet! I have the buddy read on hold, but hopefully the first in the series is better than this one? Sorry you‘re not enjoying it! And DNFs still count for points, so don‘t force something you‘re not into! 🧡 2y
Texreader @Clwojick I finally got to the Murder so I‘m going to keep going to see if it improves. Thanks for letting me know it‘s ok to dnf if I have to. 2y

Spending this evening tucked in bed wearing my softest jammies and snuggling with my babies. Also drinking tea, enjoying candles, and reading the tagged book which is a delightful cozy that is entirely too long. Hope you are all as snug as I am this evening. #iloveOctober

Just finished the first Meg Langslow book, and pretty sure I am hooked. I thought I had it figured out from the beginning, but she got me! Luckily, this volume is the first and second book in one, so I am headed right back for more.
