#Read2025

My second #ThematicCozies pick for February: Romance was just okay for me. It had potential (the author of a mystery series is invited to a wedding on a private island in the San Juan‘s where the groom is her ex) but there were too many characters & it came across really disjointed. The transitions between the MC & her own mystery series MC felt muddled. I don‘t know if it‘s meant to be a series or a stand alone title & it‘s the ⬇️

DebinHawaii ……author‘s debut foray into adult fiction (there is some spice which makes it not quite a traditional cozy) & I don‘t know if I‘d read more or not. 🤷🏻‍♀️It did get an ARC finished & off my TBR so I‘m happy about that.

February: Romance

I found this an enjoyable read overall. Of course, I loved the Scottish setting. I'm so glad Josie got what was coming to her in the end.

julieclair I hope to get to this series at some point. Glad you enjoyed it! 2h

My #ThematicCozies picks for March: #Hobby I picked two in case I don‘t like one. Both are first in series & free with my Audible membership. The tagged book is probably most on theme. ✂️

I enjoy scrapbooking, and I‘m hoping to pick up some tips as I read this book for the March #Hobby prompt for #ThematicCozies. What hobbies will everyone else be exploring?

All are welcome. Let me know if you‘d like to be added to the tag list.

julieclair @PathfinderNicole Painting and moonshine sound like a fun combination! 🤪 2d

julieclair @BarkingMadRead Looks good! 🧶Did you enjoy the scrapbooking book? I‘ve not read any of that series, but I generally like Laura Child‘s. 2d
BarkingMadRead @julieclair it‘s a fun series, NOLA is one of my fave places and she does a great job with the landmarks and the ambience 2d
mhillis @PathfinderNicole I just borrowed Still Knife Painting for this challenge!! I was debating between that and 2d
julieclair @BarkingMadRead Oh good! And now that I think of it, it will be fun to ”visit” NOLA since it‘s Mardi Gras season right now. 😃 8h
julieclair @Librarybelle That one caught my eye, too. Looking forward to your review! 8h

My #ThematicCozies pick for March. I used to love to paint (in a previous life), so I could say it used to be my hobby. When I googled “cozy mystery“ and “art,“ this one came up. I needed a new #AudioCommute #AudioChore book - so this is perfect. I am hoping this weekend I can listen to it at work (while documenting).

Lana Lee is about to go on a romantic vacation with her boyfriend when she has to stop and solve a murder. The descriptions of food in this series are as good as the mysteries. #ThematicCozies @julieclair

I enjoyed my first of 2 picks for #ThematicCozies February #Romance This was a cozy mystery about Laurel, a divorced mother of two & mortgage underwriter who is talked into joining a local dating service. When her first 2 dates end up murdered, it‘s up to Laurel & her friends to solve the case. I liked the characters & the pacing was good. It was a cozy so the mystery wasn‘t difficult to solve but it was fun. The ⬇️

DebinHawaii … romance for the theme comes mostly from the hunky sheriff‘s investigator who happens to be a single father & I liked the dynamic between him & Laurel. I will try the next book in the series which is on Kindle Unlimited. (edited) 7d
