pickFinished! It was really good. I very much want to read the next one. I really liked the characters, the town, and even the “love interest” won me over (a *little*) by the end. 😉 A solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
But as indicated in my prior post, I need a real break from cozies for a beat. So starting William…
Welp.. I still think I can probably finish the #10beforetheend #tenbeforetheend - but I had to replace 2. I think I‘ve read all the cozies I can read this year, save maybe 1 more if I need to for #cbbc #coffeebeanbookclub
Reading the tagged. It‘s good. I can tell. But the last several cozies have dragged for me & I think it‘s because I need… let‘s say, less predictability. So. 2 cozies replaced with: The Unraveling & The City In Glass.

pick4/5 ⭐️
When an old college acquaintance ends up dead in a secret room at The Secret Bookcase bookstore, bookseller Annie Murray is swept up in the investigation.
This book is a quick read. There are several plausible suspects, a plot that twists and turns, and an ending that ties up all the loose ends. I‘ll be reading the second book in the series.

so-soBook 30 of 2024: This book is a Whodunit easy read. I give it 🌟🌟🌟/5 because it reminded me too much of a teen sitcom then an adult book. A story plot you could probably find on Archie or Clarissa Explains It All kinda deal. Book 2 of #CBBC this will be mailed out Monday. Sorry about the delay.

1) When my kids were young we took a road trip to San Francisco through the redwoods. They were majestic. There are so many places I want to see Glacier Nat‘l Park, Yellowstone in the US top the list.
2) The tagged book is set in the fictional town of Redwood Grove, CA.

pickThis is the debut book in a charming new cozy series. Annie is a savvy smart protagnist who has a criminology degree. Annie has a wonderful idea to hold a town wide "mystery festival". The festival is a success drawing mystery readers in to follow clues at various businessess to try to solve mysteries. The turn out is unexpected & the bookstore's involvement is a huge success when a murder occurs.
Book 154.
pickI liked this one, and the killer was not immediately obvious. The setting lacked a bit for me as it seemed secondary to the characters. Not quite as developed as I‘m used to for cozies, but I‘ll give book two a shot. It did talk about a reader convention and I sorely miss the one that used to happen in WI.

Listening to this one at work yesterday and she mentions Trixie Belden and Cherry Ames - makes my heart happy! Then last night I find out there‘s a Bob White group on Litsy!
It‘s just after sunrise. Cool on the porch; a breezy 68 degrees! I am even wearing a thin summer cotton bathrobe! Reveling in this weather- temps will rise but for now, I am comfortable. Plan to walk with my neighbor in about 15 minutes. #readyourkindle
We‘re back baby! #cbbc #coffeebeanbookclub
@Captivatedbybooks I‘ll mail yours (and #lmpbc) on Monday. We just got back from up north.
#ReadYourKindle is really helping me tackle my backlog of 800+ titles. The tagged is a new series by a favorite cozy author. A Vow is the end of a trilogy, both the Woodbury and the Bradley are next up in ongoing series.
Hope to cross all 4 off the list this month.
