pickThis book is such fun, Vera is a great character, but it also touches on dark subjects. Overall, a good balance.

so-soI enjoyed the first half of this short novel; the second half was not so much. I previously struggled the last time with Conan Doyle‘s telling of past events in America, and this one left me feeling similarly. I guess I‘m all about Holmes‘s deductions and not reading about the lawless American West through the eyes of Conan Doyle!
So-so for me, but this checks off #LetterV #LitsyAToZ and #InThePublicDomain #52BookClub25 ! #NoPlaceLikeHolmes
Next book for #LiteraryCrew hosted by @Librarybelle . My edition has 528 pages so it will work for the #chunksterchallenge (bitsy chunkster) and #allergictochunksters too! 🎉
Edit: And this is perfect for #LitsyAtoZ #LetterV !

pickLoved this so much! Vera is a wonderful character, and the cast of suspects, though they were all hiding something, were just as great. This was very entertaining! I‘m so glad there‘s another Vera book coming out this year!

pickVicki Delany mysteries are a guilty pleasure for me. They're somewhat formulaic but always cozy and relaxing reads. This is the first in her series featuring the owner of a Sherlockian bookstore.

pickThis is a perfect book for young girls. Vicki, her unicorn, & Kenny the magical snowman visit Santa to make her Christmas wish. It‘s hard to find some moral in this book—sometimes books should just be lovely, and it is—but upon thinking about it, I realized it‘s provides a subtle message about unselfishness. I am confused by the spelling of her name on the cover versus how it‘s spelled in the book. 🤷♀️

A cute office rom-com with lots of feels. I especially liked Declan. His thoughts had me laughing out loud. I will definitely read the next book in the series. 4⭐️
