Who would have thought Meg‘s easy-going, carefree brother, Rob, would create a million dollar computer game?? Turns out he did! (With help from savvy advisors and employees) But there is something sinister simmering at his new company, and he asks Meg to see if she can figure out what the trouble is and how to fix it.

The Meg Langslow books have become one of my favorite comfort reads. They‘re light and fun and I kinda want her life (the main character, not the author although I‘m sure she‘s lovely.) This book was heavy on farm animal exposition and improbable, but I still enjoyed it.

Love the rainy, hurricane-blustery setting on a remote Maine island! It makes me want to build a fire and be cozy. ☕️🪵 Meg and Michael took off for a bit to have some time to relax at her Aunt‘s cottage - unfortunately it turns out they did not leave Meg‘s lovable, but kooky relatives back in Yorktown. Including Spike.
I‘m on the lookout for the hardcovers of Peacocks and Puffins - the only two I don‘t have!

Librarybelle You cannot have too many more of the series to read! 6mo
mabell @Librarybelle You would think! I still have 9 “new” ones - not including the 2 coming out this year! 😆 6mo
Librarybelle Wow! I guess I didn‘t realize how many are in the series…that‘s awesome! 6mo

Meg is in charge of coordinating a charity show house of designers (including her mother). Though each designer has his/her own assigned rooms, Meg has her hands full juggling all their requests - and complaints - especially with a particularly nasty, selfish designer stirring the pot! When murder hits the show as well, Meg tries to get to the bottom of it.
Still a pick, but not my favorite of the Christmas ones - rather darker.

Gissy Love the cover😍dark story? Probably good for me 😂 11mo
mabell @Gissy Maybe not dark enough 🤣 Hers are usually quite lighthearted and relaxing - this one not as much 11mo
Gissy @mabell Ohhh 11mo

The Halloween festival has taken over the town & Meg is in charge of the Goblin Patrol, citizen security. Dr. Smoot, the vampire-loving former medical examiner, is back with his home serving as Caerphilly history museum - and haunted house. 😆 Between the vampire LARPers, trouble at Grandfather‘s zoo, and the twins‘ demand that Tinkerbell and Spike have costumes, Meg has her hands full! Then someone starts a rogue scavenger hunt that turns deadly…

Librarybelle Yay!! 11mo
Gissy I will try the first book in this long series 11mo
mabell @Gissy Oh I hope you do! It‘s my favorite modern cozy series! Quirky, lighthearted, and very well-written! 11mo

An emu round-up with the irascible wildlife conservationist Dr. Blake! And Meg‘s family tree grows ❤️ More new characters to love and a sprinkling of characters you love to hate 😄

Librarybelle Yay! I seriously need to read this series! 1y
mabell @Librarybelle I think you‘d like it! Donna Andrews is such an intelligent writer, with plenty of wackiness and wit. 😄 I tend to get stressed by a lot of cozies with so much drama and nasty characters, these have a little of both, but overall they are positive and relaxing. 1y
mabell @Librarybelle It is a series that I think is best read somewhat in order. But, breaking my own recommendation, I‘m switching the next two to read Die Like an Eagle next since it‘s baseball/summer and Lord of the Wings is Halloween. 😂 1y
Librarybelle Haha! I have the first few in the series, so it‘ll be easy for me to start with the first. I am totally one who needs to read in series order. 1y
mabell @Librarybelle I hope you enjoy them! 1y

I‘ve gotten so behind in this series, but that means I have lots of fabulous books waiting for me! Every installment is so well-written, with unique additions, and just makes me happy 😊

This one is takes place at the Un-Fair, Caerphilly‘s state/county fair alternative, organized by Meg, naturally. Heritage breed chicken theft, llama showings, county rivalry, and a murder of a philandering husband all combine to make up the goofy plot. 😄

Librarybelle I need to read this series! I have the first few but just have not gotten around to it. And, I think the latest one comes out soon. 1y

Caerphilly is celebrating Halloween but their festivities are marred when a dead body is found. Can Meg and her family figure out what going on? It's a cozy mystery so, of course, they can. This is a fun series. #Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter #PromptMaze E3 #Spookoween #31by31 #BodyCountBingo #LittenListen #20in4 @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks @TheSpineView @Catsandbooks @PuddleJumper @aperfectmjk @Andrew65
