pickI got a kick out of the fact that this one seemed to be inspired by Nancy Drew (and not Silence of the Lambs as I had feared.) The fictional Nancy-esque series featured in this book even had a main character that got knocked out all the time 🤣
Captured: Buggy sitting in his book nook (closet), reading 4 books at once 😂😍
Also, received this new long-anticipated book (I‘ve met Vladeck on numerous occasions and find him intelligent and engaging… let‘s see if he‘s also a good writer ;))
And the tagged is my chosen book for June for #SeasonalCozies (summer). 🧊🍹☀️🌸🪻

Finished today for #SeasonalCozies but since I was only about 30 pages short, I‘m counting it for May. I‘m also going to cheat & use it for yesterday‘s final May #StorySetting #Ship tag. This cozy takes place around the FIGAWI yacht race Memorial Day Weekend in Nantucket. I enjoyed it overall. It‘s gets a little unbelievable at the end with the MC, a candle maker back in her childhood town, going to some pretty ⬇️

pickI‘d forgotten how much fun these mysteries are. It‘s easy reading, and while it wasn‘t too hard to figure out whodunnit, the familiar characters and their dynamics kept my interest. And there are always recipes. I feel like I gained 5 pounds just reading this 😄
I forgot to take a picture of the red velvet cupcakes I made, so you get to look at my famous pumpkin cupcakes, which, like the red velvet ones, are just holders for cream cheese icing!
panMeh. I didn‘t like the MC & the bold hashtags throughout were distracting. The mystery wrapped up too easily in the last 5% with too many loose threads.
The only part I liked was the dog, Baby (an English Mastiff).

pickI thoroughly enjoyed this cozy mystery, which was my #SeasonalCozies pick for May. Funny and lighthearted, with lovable characters, a hint of romance, and a mystery that kept me guessing. Set in beautiful Cornwall, with fun references to Cornish traditions and sayings. This is the first in a series, and I can‘t wait to read more!
June BOTM picks are live!!!
What is everyone thinking?!
I have been on a cozy mystery kick lately and this series about Mae West, owner of Happy Trails Campground, and her friends The Laundry Club Ladies solving mysteries in Normal, KY were fun cozy reads 🥰

Sometimes the universe sends you a sign of what book to read next. I made red velvet cupcakes over the weekend (sorry, no pictures of those) and then this book showed up in my Bookbub email yesterday. I haven‘t read one of these in quite a while, so I‘m looking forward to it. I just wish I had a cupcake to eat while I read😄
