Evil witch ghost Dobbs murdered and stole wedding rings from 7 brides across generations to seal her curse to be mistress of Poole Manor. Sonya and her cohorts must go back in time to retrieve the rings and return them to their respective owners to bring peace to the haunted mansion. Relationships with both the living and dead continue to develop in this final book of the trilogy, and that‘s the best part of it. A cozy, paranormal mystery, the ⬇️

Texreader anticipated ending is almost a foregone conclusion. But the how and how bad it can get is the real mystery, and how the living and dead work together is the best story. A lot of cliches for cozy mysteries but here expertly told. I loved that the story could be spooky, dark, and scary but never felt scared. These were my first Nora Roberts books, and an excellent introduction to her. #authoramonth @Soubhiville 13h

Happy New Year, all! My January #BookSpin list is working hard this year. It‘s got all the books I have in my possession from @Texreader ‘s #AuldLangSpine list and all the books I have in my possession for this month‘s #AuthorAMonth - T. Kingfisher, along with the usual odds and ends. Here‘s hoping the spin makes some helpful choices so I don‘t have to, *gasp* use my own decision making skills! 😱📚😍

Texreader Oh awesome!! 15h

repost for @Soubhiville

Our January #AuthorAMonth is T Kingfisher. I‘m pretty excited for any of you who will be reading her for the first time. There is the opportunity to stack several this first month of 2026, as she has a lot of novellas. For the second month in a row we have an author with a pen name- she also has some children‘s books under Ursula Vernon, feel free to read and count those as well.

Do you know what you‘ll be reading?

August 2025 Book #13 last book read for this month

The new cover can get the attention for a read who likes to read summer topics, mine is an old copy. This novel…😳was so bad for me😐it didn‘t work for me at all🤦🏽‍♀️If this is the author writing style and common topics, I‘m not interested then to read anything else. Sorry for the fans out there. 1⭐️

Gissy But the good news is that I read this novel for #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville which gives you the opportunity to explore new authors to me, to see if I like a specific novel, if I like the writing style, or topic etc. well, with this one I discovered that this author is not for me😃

Soubhiville All winners, please email me at magicbelly@gmail.com with your full name and address. Also I would like a list of which books you have already read by the 2026 authors if possible, so I don‘t send you books you already have. If you don‘t send me this list I have to guess 😬.

Thank you so much to everyone who participates! As always let me know if you wish to be added to or removed from the tag list. Here‘s to another great year of reading!
