Welcome to Litsy!

I don‘t have a specific book I turn to for comfort but I do have a genre and that is cozy mysteries!

A beauty pageant asks for the bakery to make cupcakes for the pageant, and once again Mel and Angie are involved in a murder investigation. This one was better than some of the previous in the series, and I‘m always interested in the cupcakes (but not some of the concoctions created by the pageant participants…yuck).

Mel also has a pretty big life decision to make in this one.

Good listen! #LitsyAtoZ #LetterS #52BookClub25 #APunInTheTitle

First finish for 2025. This is the second book in the Bakeshop Cozy Mystery Series (#SeriesLive2025). A good continuation of the series. A baking competition comes to Ashland, OR and Jules is talked into being a contestant. It was a fun book, and I look forward to reading more of these series.

Thank you, @CSeydel for this #WorstRead 2024 #BookBracket.

This book just wasn‘t for me and I LOVE cozy mysteries. I didn‘t like any of the characters and I just didn‘t care for the story.

I'm working on my Bingos #ISpyBingoDec #ChristmasAtoZ I so remember this book in the 80s. #WinterGames24 #HolidayBookDragons @StayCurious

When a magazine photo shoot goes wrong, Angie and Mel are forced to bake cupcakes with the magazine staff. There‘s a lot of drama in this one, and it‘s not just the murder! Good listen and story, though I‘m now a bit exasperated with Mel. 😂

It was nice to return to this series after a brief pause—I feel like I can only take Angie in small doses. The cupcake bakery heads to a rodeo to sell cupcakes, and one of the employees because prime suspect in a murder. Good cozy mystery, and especially fun to listen to while baking (cookies, not cupcakes, but it‘s still baking).

Book two didn‘t hit the same as book one. Still a good read. I just find myself still thinking about book one. Another Colgan book read for #AuldLangSpine. Author recommended by my #ALSpine partner in reading, @KadaGul 📚📚
Book three is a Christmas read so it‘s on my #ChristmasChapterChasers #XmasChaCha #WinterGames2024 TBR.
