Welcome to Litsy!

Started this Series for 2024's #SeasonalCozies so I picked final book for February #ThematicCozies Prompt Romance.

All in all, I enjoyed this series. Quick reads. I do wish there'd been a bit of Romance between Torie and Detective Mallard.

While there were several mentions of Easter Scavenger Hunt, it doesn't appear author is continuing series. Which is fine. Juniper's continued provoking of Det D was getting old.

My December reading results were good for a busy month. I finished 16 books & started 2. I didn‘t quite get to everything I wanted but I read 3 books & a story for #SeasonalCozies & joined in #NancyDrewBR #SundayBuddyRead #Naturalitsy #MidWinterSolace & read all of my #Roll100 picks as well as completed my #BOTM challenge & #OUABC 40 book challenge.

I‘m midway through my #JolabokaflodSwap book & started the book from my #OUABC Up All Night Box.

I‘m excited to begin our year of #ThematicCozies with Shady Hollow as my January selection. A couple of you have already posted. 👍 What will everyone else be reading?

Tagging those who have already expressed interest, but all are welcome! 😀

Thank you, @JulieClair, for hosting the #SeasonalCozies group this year. I read some great cozies (and started a series, so I kinda got away from the monthly pick), but... it was great!

I am excited for #ThematicCozies coming up!

1- I don‘t set goals they stress me out. I‘d like to be more consistent with #readordonate #readyourkindle and #seasonalcozies
2- I‘d like to read the new Gypsy Rose Blanchard book if my library will buy it 😂🤦‍♀️

I had such a good time with #SeasonalCozies this year, of course I‘m going to join #ThematicCozies in 2025. Tagged is my pick for January‘s #Animal theme. First in the series & free to listen to on Audible.

I also found I‘d skipped a short story for the Shady Hollow series so I‘m going to read it as a bonus even if it‘s Halloween based. The SH series became a favorite this year & features a community of animals. I‘ll tag the first book ⬇️

I've really enjoyed! Particularly liked the Juniper Holiday series by Leighann Dobbs. I've listened to Halloween Party Murder, Thanksgiving Dinner Death, and Who Slayed the Santas. Up next is Book 4 Masquerade Party Murder for New Years. My Fatal Valentine is on my February stack. 🎃🦃🎅🏻🎭💝 #myyearinbooks

Quirky characters, fun Christmas activities, and a murder, of course. An entertaining December read.
This was my December #SeasonalCozies pick.

Since I enjoyed the first book Twelve Slays of Christmas as one of my #SeasonalCozies picks, I decided to listen to the second too. This one takes place at Christmas time year later & it seems Holly is back in Mistletoe, Maine to stay & is renovating the family inn to make it a B&B. Her new besty gets accused of murder & Holly needs to clear her name. I liked this one & the characters & holiday town setting but ⬇️

Finished this holiday short story (one of my #SeasonalCozies December picks) last night which is slightly out of order in the Shady Hollow series, but I wanted to save it for a Christmas/Solstice read. There‘s no murders in this story, instead fox reporter Vera Vixen 🦊 is on the case when the town‘s special solstice tree disappears. It‘s cute, as is the entire series. 🌲💚
