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

I finally decided on my December pick for #SeasonalCozies . Several of you have already posted; what will everyone else be reading?

Looking forward to continuing our cozy adventures in 2025 with #ThematicCozies ! All are welcome.

BookmarkTavern I actually considered this one! I can‘t wait to see what you think! 2mo
Librarybelle Originally, my December choice was going to be one of the Christmas-themed books from that series, but my book discussion group switched to this one in December, which still fits the season: 2mo
julieclair @BookmarkTavern This will be the first book I‘ve read from this series, but I love Donna Andrews. 🎄 2mo

julieclair @Librarybelle That one sounds fun, too! 🎄 2mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm carrying on with Juniper Holiday 2mo
mabell One of my favorites in this series! 2mo
mabell @Librarybelle Oh no! I was looking forward to hearing what you thought! 😭 😂 But that one was pretty far along in the series - you were going to read Duck? 2mo
PathfinderNicole I‘m going with the tagged but I‘ve got a lot of options for Christmas themed cozies! 2mo
julieclair @kspenmoll That one looks fun! 2mo
julieclair @Crinoline_Laphroaig You know going in that it‘s going to be good! 😀 2mo
julieclair @mabell Glad to hear it! This is my first one of this series. 2mo
julieclair @Graciouswarriorprincess Santa has a daughter? Who knew?! 🎅🧑‍🎄🤶 2mo
julieclair @PathfinderNicole Sounds good! Looks like you‘ll be the first one to review this book on Litsy. You‘re a trailblazer! (aka a pathfinder 😀😘) 2mo
Librarybelle @mabell I think it was the Owl‘s Slaying one the group wanted to read. The bookstore could not get enough copies for everyone! I do definitely want to read the series and have the first few, so this at least allows me to read the books in order! 2mo
Avanders I‘m not sure I‘ll manage it this month, but I‘m thinking maybe 2mo
mabell @Librarybelle I just read Owl! (I have so many reviews to post 😆) It was a fun one. Reading the books in order is the way to go for this series too. 2mo
julieclair @Avanders Ooohhh… that one sounds really good. Stacked! 2mo
julieclair @mhillis I love the cover! Did you enjoy the book? 1mo
mhillis @julieclair Yes! In fact I liked it so much that I immediately borrowed another book by the author, 4w
julieclair @mhillis Ooohhh… good to hear! Stacked! 👍 4w

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.

Between Michael‘s production of Macbeth, the “historic” Scottish re-enactors, the real life witchcraft in the woods - this one is creepy!

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.

Murder With Puffins | Donna Andrews

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! 8mo
mabell @Librarybelle You would think! I still have 9 “new” ones - not including the 2 coming out this year! 😆 8mo
Librarybelle Wow! I guess I didn‘t realize how many are in the series…that‘s awesome! 8mo

It‘s been years since I read the early books in the series, so I thought I would mix in a few with the newer ones I‘m still getting caught up on. I just love Meg, Michael and Meg‘s whole goofy family! Things start off pretty differently from what they become in later books, but the wackiness is there! It was also written 25 years ago, so it reads a little differently too. This one was quite a story with A LOT going on!

mabell Example - Meg is Maid of Honor for 3 weddings in 2-3 weeks 😆

Tamra Such cute cover! 8mo
Librarybelle Yay!! 8mo
mabell @Tamra They all (except the original version of these two) have the bright covers of cozies, but they are all fun interpretations of the plot! Complete with titular bird 😄 8mo

Loved it! Such a fun installment with the whole Langslow crew on a cruise. Including, poor Rose Noire, who only went to try to protect them from the dangers of the Bermuda Triangle. Of course the cruise deteriorates quickly, and Meg must step in to help keep things on an even keel. 😉

Tamra I had to look at that title a couple of times! 🤪 8mo
dabbe @Tamra So did I! 😂😂😂 8mo
mabell @Tamra @dabbe 😂😂 8mo
dabbe @mabell My eyes ain't what the used to be! 😂 8mo

What do a 30 year old jewelry heist, a murder in a columbarium (crypt) and a toucan have in common? More than you would think, as it turns out!

Also, I learned that toucans cannot not talk (I never thought about this before), and they are incredibly messy eaters that adore fruit.

Librarybelle Interesting facts about the toucan! 10mo
mabell @Librarybelle A fun bonus to the mystery! 😄 10mo

I love that Donna Andrews writes a Christmas book each year in the Meg series! I quite enjoyed this installment. Michael is directing the Christmas Carol production again, except this time the actor playing Scrooge is a minor big-name, who turns out to be temperamental and rarely sober. As usual, Meg is quite busy - trying to keep the star actor in line and then stumbling across an animal smuggling ring - and a murder!
