Welcome to Litsy!

Not quite the same view as I had in my last overnight to Hilo but the hotel has a lanai & Mauna Kea is still pink & lovely at sunrise & well worth getting up for. 🌅

A little reading of the tagged book (an addition to my #SeasonalCozies as I forgot it in my #TBR) & some coffee/hot cocoa mix—hotel lobby mocha before my board meeting. I present first this morning & then most of the pressure is off. 😅

Torte‘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.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

One of my #SeasonalCozies picks for December, I finished the audiobook while running errands today. This was a good little cozy mystery with likeable characters & a fun snowy holiday setting of the MC‘s (Holly) parent‘s Christmas Tree Farm in a very Christmasy town called Mistletoe in Maine. I didn‘t love the female narrator‘s male voices but I enjoyed the story & Holly. I‘ll read the next one. (Free on Audible too).

I just couldn't really get into Murder Most Festive for some reason, so I switched to The Candy Cane Cupcake Killer for my December seasonal cozy, and I'm enjoying it a lot more. 🎄🧁🎄

I felt like I was missing something and actually double checked that this was the first in the series. It was between a soft pick and so-so but I don‘t think I‘ll be continuing with this series.
