Finally finished my last Christmas cozy mystery of the season and got a bingo. š™‚
@puddlejumper

PuddleJumper Brilliant! Well done! 10mo

BrandedKristen @PuddleJumper Thank you! And thank you for making the bingo board. I really enjoyed it. 10mo

PuddleJumper @BrandedKristen In the future would the option of 3x3 board be useful? 10mo

Another cozy that kicks off with some toxic characters. I don‘t like the over the top negativity of a lot of cozies. I found out after starting this that the author is also Eva Gates, and I had to discontinue her lighthouse library series for the same reason. I guess she isn‘t for me!

rubyslippersreads My IRL book club read one of her lighthouse library mysteries and agreed we weren‘t interested in reading any more (even though a library in a lighthouse is a great premise). 11mo

mabell @rubyslippersreads I‘m glad it wasn‘t just me! She does have great settings, though! Does your book club read many cozies? I‘m curious which ones were popular with the group. 11mo

Avanders I agree about starting cozies with negativity.. in particular, that weirdly catty behavior š¤·š¸½ā€¨ā™€ļø¸š¤·š¸½ā€¨ā™€ļø¸ 11mo

mabell @Avanders Exactly! You have to have someone annoying enough to get murdered, of course š¤£ But some of the side characters - who acts like that?! It‘s calculated to make your blood boil, and to me that isn‘t cozy or fun. š¤·ā€¨ā™€ļø¸ 11mo

Avanders š¤£ I guess that‘s true š¤ But so true! And agreedā€¦ I read cozies to feel, you know, cozy. š 11mo

rubyslippersreads @mabell We read some cozies. I‘ll have to go back and see which ones we read and liked. 11mo

I liked this, but I felt like I was starting book 2 of the series instead of book 1, as there's already two love interests she'd met prior to the story kicking off, and the character was already settled back in her hometown. But it was fun!

I‘m all in on Christmas murder mysteries!!!

mcctrish This is a genre I‘m ready to embrace 12mo

bookandbedandtea I love a Christmas mystery and I, too, have been feeling the draw to abandon "regular" books to focus on holiday themed books for the rest of the year. ????? 12mo

This was a light and fun read for the Christmas season, and I think some of the characters could grow on me if I were to read more in the series, but I found the mystery itself a bit dull. I prefer Vicki Delany's Smith and Winters mystery series.

I enjoyed this but....very repetitive, we are told several times about the importance of Christmas economically to the town of Rudolph and how a murder during this time could ruin the town, the ending is the other issue.ā¬‡ļø¸,

This has all the hallmarks for a quintessential cozy mystery. It is one of the authors earlier books and her writing improved with experience. I love her Lighthouse Library series under the pseudonym Eva Gates. I did like it enough to read the rest of the series. I would love to visit a town like Rudolph. Read for 5 readathons so 275 pts. #readnosedreindeer #wintergames2020 @StayCurious

Merry lives in Rudolph, known for its 24/7/365 celebration of Christmas. Everything is cheery in town until things start breaking and murder happens. Merry is on the clock to save Christmas and the town from destruction. This is a delightful cozy with good writing, very different characters (Merry‘s mom is a former opera singer!), and Merry‘s store of handmade gift items sounds like a delightful place to visit!

This was a really fun cozy. I love the idea of Christmas year round. The suspect wasn‘t obvious to me.

Just what I needed. #Cozymysteries are perfect right now. I liked the setting and the characters, not so sure about the mystery. The solution was a bit out of left field for me. May add the others to my next #localbookshop order and check out the rest. #shopindie

Sometimes light things are needed, even if they‘re out of season. Anyone have a good, new cozy mystery to suggest? I‘m looking for excuses to support my local bookstores #shoplocal

Avanders Have you read

Death in a Budapest Butterfly

TheBookDream @Avanders I have not but I did see it when it came out. Good? 5y

Trying to read a Christmas cozy mystery while my son is in surgery but am understandably having a difficult time concentrating.

mabell I hope all goes well! ā¯¤ļø¸ 5y

PathfinderNicole @mabell thank you! š’. It went really well and he‘s feeling better other than it kind of hurting to talk and a sore throat which is probably to be expected with dental surgery with general anesthesia 5y

This is a cute cozy mystery, I feel like the series has potential but for this book it felt a little scattered to me. The suspect list was all over the place and the ending was kind of strange. I do think it's a neat idea for a cozy series though.
