Day 28 #UncannyOctober #Trick This is the only book in my stacks with 'trick' in the title. My Kindle is playing tricks on me by not letting me download new books or library e-books unless it's done manually with a USB cord. Grrr... 😠I've tried all the troubleshooting tips & it did let me download this book off the cloud just now so who knows? Since it's over 3-years-old, goes everywhere with me & I use it daily, it may be time for a new one. 😩

readordierachel How annoying! 7y
Leftcoastzen Could you have missed a software update? 7y
DebinHawaii @ReadOrDieRachel It is! 😬 @Leftcoastzen I tried to manually install the update a few times when following the troubleshooting steps but it won't take. I'm going to try again when I'm feeling more patient & call customer service if it still won't work. 👍 7y

RealLifeReading Hope you figure out the problem soon! I have a kindle paperwhite that is surprisingly still going strong after four years 7y
Zelma My nook no longer downloads library books at all; they who up on my nook as expired. I have a feeling it won't read whatever version of software Overdrive is using, but I have no clue how to update. It's dying anyway so I am just going to wait until I get a new nook to worry about it. 7y
DebinHawaii @RealLifeReading Yes, this one seems fine otherwise, so hopefully I'll get it sorted out. 👍 7y
DebinHawaii @Zelma Oh, that's frustrating. At least this one will download them manually even if it's a pain. 😬 7y

This is the third book in the Birds of a Feather cozy mystery series by Marty Wingate. I have read a book from Marty's other series, Potting Shed Mystery, but this is my first book from this series. I thought this was an enjoyable little mystery. The setting, a small English village, was great. I loved the look at life in a small village. It seems so nice and cozy.
I received a free ARC from NetGalley

SaraFair Is the theme birds? Looks good! 7y
Lmstraubie Great picture! 7y
Laura317 I love a good cozy mystery. 7y
ReadingOver50 @SaraFair yes the main character is the daughter of a celebrity ornithologist and there is a lot of bird talk. 7y

#24in48 A bit before 11:00PM here & at 3:15:14.14 hours and first book finished. I like this author & both her Birds of a Feather & Potting Shed cozy mystery series. This is the 3rd book in the BOAF series & I enjoyed it overall but thought the mystery was pretty obvious early on, even for a cozy. Still I like Julia & the supporting characters & the little tidbits of English life & bird facts I learn. Paired w/a #24in48readathon chocolate snack👍

BookBabe Great photo! We're pretty much the same length in so far. 👍🏻 7y

#24in48 #24in48readathon Counting down the minutes to start. Set the first book--a cozy mystery--out with dinner--Heidi Swanson's 5-Minute Breakfast Tacos with smashed hard-boiled egg. This was supposed to be today's breakfast but it was just not happening this morning so instead it became tonight's dinner & tomorrow's blog post. Happy Reading to All! Let's do this! 📚🍴📚🎉👍😀
