Just got the audiobook off the wait-list on #libby
Yay! My favorite comfort audio series. Going to need another one since I'm caught up. Whose got a nice cozy mystery series that's good in audio? And in Libby or hoopla.

Ruthiella You could try the Alan Bradley Flavia de Luce mysteries starting with 2y
emz711 @Ruthiella got em, love em. Never done the audio though, it's good? 2y
Ruthiella @emz711 I listened to a few narrated by Jane Entwistle and really enjoyed them. 2y
Ruthiella Have you tried the Amelia Peabody books? Also great on audio. A rare case where I actually prefer listening over reading. 2y
emz711 @Ruthiella I have listened to a few of the Peabody ones 2y

I just created a DNF shelf on goodreads specifically for this book. I wanted to remind myself that I am DONE with this insipid series & should not pick it up any more no matter how much I want to know if she picks Norman, Mike or the cat. I got about 5 pages in not counting recipes. Maybe the dumbest 5 pages of garbage I've ever read. How did I enjoy the first few of these enough to suffer through the rest of the 28 increasingly awful books?🤷‍♀️

Prairiegirl_reading I read a Christmas themed one and I‘ll never read another! 3y
rockpools 😂😂😂 Love it! I did enjoy the first few of these, MANY years ago. Have been wondering if I should pick up the series again… and now I know! 3y
Traci1 @Prairiegirl_reading good decision. 3y

Traci1 @rockpools you really should not. They just get worse and worse. I think if I hadn't gotten into the hallmark movies they made of the first several books, I would have given up on them long before now. 3y
rockpools @Traci1 Noted! I‘ve always kind of wished Litsy had a ‘Don‘t touch it with a barge pole‘ button, alongside the stack button, just to remind you that you‘ve actively ruled something out! 3y
Traci1 @rockpools I am totally down for a barge pole button! 3y
ravenlee @rockpools @Traci1 How about a “run screaming” button? 😆 I would use the heck out of that. 3y
Traci1 @ravenlee lol, yeah I have quite a few that I'd use that for. Lots just from this series. 3y
Susanita My book club read a Christmas one, and it was a universal pan. 3y
Clare-Dragonfly @rockpools I would definitely use that 😂 3y

Mehso-so

I love a good cozy mystery that I can sink my teeth into but, the last few books in this series have ended up being more fluff and puff than meaty. I keep reading out of habit. I keep hoping that Hannah will get a clue about her own life. That she'll be blessed with some insight and some clarity and that there will finally be some resolution to the biggest mystery of her un-love life. I enjoyed some of the recipes early on(cont in comments)

TheHeartlandBookFairy in the series but they've become stranger & stranger as the series has continued. At least 1/3rd of the book is now recipes, just a way to make the word count longer IMO. With a weak plot and somewhat unbelievable events, disjointed and disconnected character stories, I'd have to say this book is half baked at best for me. I hate to say it but I think it's time to tie up all the loose ends, have Hannah make a decision, and wrap up the series. Stick a fork in it, I think it's done. 3y
