I‘m spending a very quiet night reading this book, book 1 of a series set in Venice, recommended by my father-in-law. I really like the author‘s writing style. I‘m hoping it will be the start of a love affair with a new series! #serieslove #foodandlit #ItalyJubilee @Catsandbooks @TheSpineView @Andrew65
pickThis was a sweet cozy mystery. It was fun to be part of the animals‘ woodland world, and the mystery kept me guessing. First in a series, and I will read more.
Like several other Littens, I chose this book as my January #ThematicCozies #Animal pick.
Thank you, @Chrissyreadit for sending this to me as a swap gift! 💙

pickAmateur detective Wimsey‘s brother the Duke has been arrested for the murder of their sister‘s fiancée. The duke, the sister, the fiancée, some couples, the hired help are all at a hunting lodge when a gunshot is heard in the middle of the night.

so-so3✨ I feel like these books are really rushed. It‘s a great read for young kids to boost confidence. I‘m wondering in the notes are a build up as well. The first two books are building up a mystery in the series that might give the books more main plot than going to other places from their magical treehouse. #SeriesLove
That's me all caught up with DCI Boyd (looking forward to the next release too) and crossing off my #bookspin pick for January

I enjoy these books more when George isn't in them. The quasi sort-of budding romance aspect feels too forced & not at all like Jessica to me.
This one's a January Book Bingo selection as well as part of a series (in fact, all the books I've read so far this month have been from different series ... never you mind how many are new series started lol).

Didn't quite reach my goal of 100 books in 2024, but I'm all right with that under the circumstances. A bit amused that my first/last and longest/shortest books have similar color palettes! Top authors reflect the amount of nostalgia/comfort reading I did.
