This tells the story of Marie-Laure from France and Werner from Germany, both young teenagers at the start of WWII, and how their lives change in devastating ways because of the war. It was told in very short dual timelines and jumped back and forth a bit, which was sometimes hard to follow along with, which is what made it a so-so rather than a pick.

📚 Royal Flush- this is actually the next one in the series that I hadn't read (not Heirs and Graces), so I'm reading this one instead 😂

I probably would have bailed on this one if it wasn't my seasonal cozy pick. It seems like the story was a bit unnecessarily drawn out, and didn't have as much to do with the theme of St. Patrick's Day as I thought it would. Probably not a series I would read any more of.

This was such a good book!! I'm so glad I let Litsy posts influence me to move this one to the top of my TBR stack!

Charlie unexpectedly becomes the heir to his uncle's businesses, both legal and not-so-legal, and unwittingly finds himself in the middle of the criminal organization his uncle was a member of.

What a haunting beautiful story of marriage, motherhood, and friendship. In her later years, Isobel recalls the summer of 1936 in Cypress, Michigan: the effect it had on her marriage to Victor, how much her children (Henry, Louisa, and Thomas) grew up, and her friendship with a summer resident named Cathryn.

I enjoyed this story of Mim and her mom Dahlia, who are aromateurs. Mim is a teenager trying to find her own path both at school and with her friends, hoping that she can make that work with the expectations set forth for her by her mom, and generations ago by her aromateur ancestors.

James is a retiree who lives at Sage Gardens Retirement Community. He suffers from a heart attack at his birthday party, but some of the other residents suspect foul play and decide to look into it on their own.

This is just barely a pick, but it's still a pick. This was definitely not the best cozy mystery I've ever read but also not the worst. I just enjoyed it for what it was!

I ended up bailing on my February #DoubleSpin book. I really wanted to like this one, because I enjoyed the 1st in the series, The Vintage Caper. But this one was about property and development, and as much as I tried, I just couldn't get into it.

Lsmoore43 😍How did you get the bookcase in the background and books like that? I use pic collage but have never seen this. Please. 😍 1mo
CoffeeNBooks @Lsmoore43 When you're working on a collage, go to backgrounds and click on the magnifying glass on the lower left side. It will take you to a search bar where you can type in "empty bookshelf background" (make sure you choose web image, not store) and you'll have several to choose from. Once I have the bookshelf, I go back to the collage and use the web image button to search for the books I want to add. Hope that helps! ? 1mo
