pickWhat a delightful book! It‘s a story of friendship and life choices, with wonderfully drawn characters. The main characters are food and wine bloggers, and now that I‘m blogging, I appreciate the community that these women create. As with pretty much everything this author writes, food is integral to the story; maybe that‘s why I like her books so much. Definitely recommend. FYI, it‘s tomato bisque with Parmesan croutons.
This has been on my Kindle for a while. I‘ve liked everything I‘ve read by this author, and I thought this looked appetizing for my next read.
pickFirst 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.
This book was a fascinating, digressive wild ride. If you're able to accept the male chauvinist redneck attitudes, it is quite the slow-moving train wreck.

My favorite book of March was The Trail of Lost Hearts by Tracey Garvis Graves (tagged).

This was absolutely lovely! It's exactly what I want in a Christmas novella that isn't romance focused. Warm and cozy, I honestly wish I could have wrapped myself in the quilt the characters come together to make.
so-soTorte‘s annual staff Christmas party is interrupted when the new owner of the local, historic inn is found murdered at the bottom of the staircase. W/ vandalism, sabotage, & poisonings, Jules has her work cut out for her to catch a killer.
As always, I really love the descriptions of food, & the community within Torte, & the Christmas setting was charming. But the conclusion felt too rushed & summarized to me, & didn‘t feel set up well.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
Getting my #WinterGames2024 TBR started means first picking my #SeasonalCozies read! I‘ve enjoyed what I‘ve read in this series so far, so I‘m excited to give this Christmas one a try.

pickUnexpectedly my favorite Deb Caletti book thus far. The unrequited/being in love with someone you shouldn‘t be hit a little too close to home. I loved Zeus, the dog, Scarlet‘s journey, her family and the escapades of her neighbors. I definitely cried the last few chapters and loved the writing.
