40 posts | 33 read | 31 to read
In Sleep Like a Baby, the latest installment of the #1 New York Times Bestselling Charlaine Harris's Aurora Teagarden series, Robin and Aurora have finally begun their adventure in parenting. With newborn Sophie proving to be quite a handful, Roe's mother pays for a partially trained nurse, Virginia Mitchell, to come help the new parents for a few weeks. Virginia proves to be especially helpful when Robin has to leave town for work and Roe is struck with a bad case of the flu.One particularly stormy night, Roe wakes to hear her daughter crying and Virginia nowhere to be found. Roe's brother Philip helps her search the house and they happen upon a body outside... but it isn't Virginia's. Now, not only does she have a newborn to care for and a vulnerable new marriage to nurture, Roe also has to contend with a new puzzle -- who is this mystery woman dead in their backyard, and what happened to Virginia? This heart-pounding and exciting next installment of the Aurora Teagarden series will leave fans happy and hungry for more.

Unlike the Sookie Stackhouse series, this mystery series improved as it progressed. The final book in the series wrapped up any loose ends from previous books as well as solving the mysteries in this book. Fun series!

I am so sad this book series is over. I feel like it finally got good drama and mystery right at the end too. And I love aurora. Definitely worth the read!

Fans of Aurora Teagarden will love this continuation of the series. Harris takes us for a visit with new mom Aurora after her nanny goes missing the same night a body is found in her backyard. Funny, frustrating, and endearingly Aurora, there are misdirects and puzzles everywhere. I love how Harris takes the mundane, and weaves it into a mystery to love.

Ummm. So a bit mixed on this. It‘s not the best of this series, and the conclusion to the mystery is a bit left field but I think it does a good job of portraying the monotony of having a new baby. Not that I have any experience of a new baby but it tallies with stories I‘ve heard from people who do...

Possibly unpopular opinion time - I love cozy mysteries in general, and I enjoyed earlier books in this series (the only reason I finished it) but this one felt terrible to me. Aurora‘s inner voice was obnoxious and grating, the story was crazy pants - maybe they‘re all like this and I just hadn‘t noticed it before??

merelybookish I feel like your cat is judging me. 😸 (Which is fair because she's a beauty!) 6y

Finished & got it back to the library just a day late.📚😬Not my favorite book of the series-I felt like the first half was draggy & Aurora with a new baby & the flu is not a joy to be around, but the later half picked up & I didn't have part of the mystery figured out which is always a bonus in a cozy & makes it a pick. I do think I need to go back a few books in the series (before these last 'new' books) to refresh my memory on side characters.

Well this was supposed to go back to the library today & it's not going back until tomorrow. I have about 70 pages left and I WILL finish it tonight. Sorry person next in the hold line--I generally have better library manners but needs must.😬 Taking a late work-from-home lunch & getting a few pages in over leftover Vegan Cheesy Loaded Baked Potato Soup & toppings from Sunday which is totally hitting the spot on this grey, drizzly day. 😋🥔🧀🍲❤️

LA_Mead Ooh! That soup looks good! And vegan too! Do you have the recipe? 6y

The easiest way to drive me insane is for an author to not name their characters consistently. When Angel has the baby in this series, she names it June. In this book, she refers to her baby as Lorna. Lorna is Arthur and Lynn's daughter in a prior book. It's such a minor detail and now it's all I can think about.

MinDea Ugh... that is annoying 6y
Bourriquet76 @MinDea 45% done the book, still thinking about names. 😂 6y

#DecDays #Rockabye A little rockabye and you should sleep like a baby. 👶🏻💤I'm currently reading the tagged book which seemed to fit the prompt and here are seven more from my stacks with 'baby' in their titles--although not all involve infants and some may keep you awake.😱😆I have read all of these except for the tagged book which I just started.📚

Cinfhen I really liked 6y
DebinHawaii @Cinfhen Me too! 👍 6y
bookwrm526 I‘ve been trying to get the tagged book forEVER but my library doesn‘t have it :( 6y
DebinHawaii @bookwrm526 Bummer! I hope they get it in. Mine transferred one in from another branch. I just got an email that a new one from another series I read is being held for me now too. Not so great for the #TBR stacks but I'm excited! 😆 6y

A breakfast mash-up-Ambrosia Overnight Oats takes ingredients of classic ambrosia-pineapple, tangerine, coconut & marshmallows & puts them in creamy, cold overnight oatmeal. It's inspired by two scenes in Planes, Trains and Automobiles (November's film for my movie/food blogging group) but I read the tagged/pictured book while eating it & Neal & Del were sleeping like babies, cuddled up, "Those aren't pillows!"?in a classic scene. Recipe link??

DivineDiana I‘m going to try this! 6y
Zelma We just watched this the other night. A classic! 💕 and interesting ambrosia recipe. My mom‘s uses orange juice, pineapple and cool whip. We call it orange fluff. (edited) 6y

DebinHawaii @DivineDiana I hope you like it! 👍😀@Zelma It's a fun one--i hadn't seen the whole movie in years. There are so many different ambrosia variations it appears--my mom's variation was fruit cocktail & marshmallows in (I think) whipped cream and no coconut. I was trying to go for more healthy but those marshmallows snuck in! 😋🤣 6y
Zelma @DebinHawaii 😆 there‘s also a green one that show up at all my large family gatherings (pistachio). So midwestern. 😋 6y
DebinHawaii @Zelma We didn't have it often--we were "Jello salad people!" ? 6y
Zelma @DebinHawaii (whispers) I actually don‘t like jello salad or fluff. 😳 6y
DebinHawaii @Zelma (whispers back) Me either, or canned fruit cocktail for that matter... but the fresher version of the salad was surprisingly good in oatmeal. 😉 6y
Zelma @DebinHawaii ha, I feel vindicated. I bet Mr. Z would love that oatmeal. He typically puts blueberries in his but that looks like a winner. 6y
SandyW Sounds delicious! (Hatred the movie though.) 6y
GalacticBookwyrm89 Yum. I love ambrosia. I have an issue with oatmeal, but I am always optimistic that I will like it someday and try it again. 6y
TNbookworm ❤ that movie! 6y
Purrfectpages That breakfast looks delicious! 6y
DebinHawaii @GalacticBookwyrm89 You know I have never been a big fan of oatmeal myself until I tried overnight oats and for whatever reason the cold and less "gummy" texture works for me. But I get not liking it! ?? 6y
GalacticBookwyrm89 @DebinHawaii I‘m gonna give it a go!! 6y

This is my guilty pleasure mystery series. The MC can be annoying, the descriptions of everyday activities are tedious, solving the mystery is always quick and wraps up in the last 10 pages - yet I still keep coming back for more eye rolls and convenient mystery wrap ups!
This book (while I don't expect much but light entertainment) disappointed me with the world's biggest letdown of an ending.
And of course I'll still read the next 😝

This is how I‘m spending this chilly Sunday night- reading the new Aurora Teagarden novel and snuggled up under a blanket with both dogs!

Suelizbeth I didn‘t know this was a book series. I‘ve seen the series on the Hallmark channel. The books are so much better, right? They have to be. I‘m not sure I would read them, even so. 6y
NikkiKey94 @Suelizbeth I enjoy the movies but I definitely think the books are so much better! There are several of the mystery movies that come on Hallmark that are series of books. 6y
Suelizbeth @NikkiKey94 Do the books qualify as cozy mysteries? Those are always great for winter reading. ❄️ 6y
NikkiKey94 @Suelizbeth Yes I believe they do qualify as cozy mysteries. I love reading cozies because they are such a light easy read and like you said they are great for winter reading! 6y

This was between a so-so and a pick for me. The mystery was good, but I was annoyed with Aurora in this book. She seemed grouchy, thankless, and snooty. (At least that was my interpretation)

DrexEdit Sometimes grouchy, thankless, and snooty can work for a character and make them interesting. When it doesn't work though, it's just annoying. 7y

Like all of the Roe books, this was fast to the point of "oh God the book is almost over, better wrap things up!" eleventh-hour resolution, but it was enjoyable. (Sheer cozy mystery fluff usually is.) #sleeplikeababy #charlaineharris #aurorateagarden

Sometimes I find Roe's character to be inconsistent, and wildly immature, but it doesn't stop me from being glad this series has continued. (It doesn't hurt that they're just really easy reads.) #sleeplikeababy #charlaineharris #aurorateagarden

Whew! That was a fast listen! None of the Aurora Teagarden books are very long, but this just zoomed by in 2 Days.

The story was tight; the characters are old friends by now; and I‘m current on yet another series now 🙂

Started reading this book this morning. Thank you to @stmartinspress for sending me an advanced copy! I'm almost halfway through it and really intrigued by the mystery this story is centered around. Trouble does not stray far from Roe Teagarden!
