My dear friend Dave got me the tagged book for my birthday, and it made me realize how much I love cozy little mystery series-especially if they involve small towns, libraries/bookstores, and cats! 😂😹👍 Here are a few more that I've collected since then, including the middle one which just arrived today! I think I'm going to save most of them to read during autumn-my favorite time of year and a great time to get cozy! 💕📚🍁🎃

@DaveGreen7777

Leftcoastzen Nice ! 3y
Branwen @Leftcoastzen 😃👍💕 @BethM Ooooh! Thank you! I will have to check those out! 💕📚 3y
DaveGreen7777 Hee hee, I saw “cosy mystery” and “cat”, and somehow knew it would be a good gift for you! 😁 Glad you enjoyed the book, Becky! 😀 3y

Mehso-so

I struggled to get into this. For me the most exciting part didnt come until the end when all the clues added up. I'm just not a fan of the characters yet. But I'll try again with the next book.

Today‘s been a kind of listless day. Not in the mood to read much or watch 📺 but felt the need to get stuff done. I went through my bookmarks and threw any I hadn‘t used in years or that were beat up. Tassels will be my undoing! They always fall apart on me! So was able to exchange some with the ones I threw out. Now to count them. This doesn‘t even include my book clips! I have problems lol!

Oh! I also cut the tops off the plastic covers!

Bks4Wrms I have the same problem with tassels and I am so gentle with my bookmarks! 🤷🏼‍♀️ 6y
RadicalReader @EvieBee there‘s no exception when it comes to bookworms we must do our spring cleaning too 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I usually just take the tassels off. Is that sacrilegious? 6y

EvieBee @Bks4Wrms Me too! In going through them I noticed that my older ones (10 years old) still have tassels in tact and my newer ones come off so easily. I‘m so careful with them, too! I wonder if they‘re being made less carefully. 6y
EvieBee @RadicalReader Right?! 🤓🤗 6y
EvieBee @BarbaraTheBibliophage Not at all! I actually prefer ribbon. So simple! But I like the beads on the tassels. 6y
Ddzmini One day I too shall have a cup of book marks I use receipts and bills and papers to mark my pages 😝 6y

EvieBee @catebutler Right?! It‘s so invigorating! I‘d love to see your collection. 🤓♥️ 6y
EvieBee @TheLudicReader I do!! I didn‘t even get to count the ones I have left after the scourge. 6y
EvieBee @BarbaraTheBibliophage Thank you, Barbara! ♥️♥️ 6y

They are gorgeous! And thank you for the bonus bookmark. Some of these are going to my #halloweengoespostal #fallbookexchange and #allhallowsreadbookexchange packages; so some lucky #Littens will get these too!

BookBabe Awesome! I'm so glad you like them! Thanks so much for sharing. ❤️❤️❤️ I felt that since you were running the book exchange, it would be nice to give you a bonus one as a thank you. I'm sure it's a huge project to run one of those! 🙌🏻 7y

TrishB Me too 👍 7y

A nice little quaint cozy mystery for those that love this genre. I enjoyed reading it, plus the recipes on the back are a nice addition to the book. only thing is, don't really sit too well with Tricia and Russ. He's not the most interesting of book boyfriends...meh. The mystery aspect of the book was good and worth a read though.

Finished listening to Bookmarked for Death, book 2 in the series. I'm enjoying this series though I must admit, the main character's sister can be a twit but still enjoyable. I'm wondering who will get killed in the next book.

Started listening to The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society which I've been told is a good one to listen to. I have to agree even though I've barely started it. Each character is voiced by a different person.

I only managed 8 books in March, about half of what I normally would read. I had a very rough and stressful month at work, not only just changes happening with the library space but major boss issues. I'm hoping April will be much improved.

This month I read:
3 audiobooks (though Inferno I read mostly in February)
2 romances
1 Christian Fiction
1 graphic novel
1 book that made me cry aka Henry's Sisters which is very good
I enjoyed them all

tpixie Wow! Still amazing! I'm lucky to read 4 a month! Hope April is kinder to you!! 7y

So here are some of my favourite bookmarks. I don't use them precisely because they are my favourite. While I dog-ear my own books, when I borrow one, I use bookmarks - and promptly forget they are in there when I return the to the library. So I've learned not to use my favourites. 🤷🏼‍♀️

My favorite bookmark is the bottom center. It's signed by Patrick Rothfuss, and it's part of a page from Slow Regard of Silent Things.
Lately I've been leaving the bookmark I use for each book in the book when I finish it, if it belongs to me. It's a fun new habit someone here on Litsy suggested a bit ago. Also, I often pass books I've read on to friends or family when I'm done, so now they get a bookmark too! #booktober

#biblioweekend The story was pretty good. It did include a scene where the protagonist did something illogical. This is one thing I hate in mysteries: protagonist is knowledgeable about dangerous circumstances yet runs in head-long, risking her or his life. Knocks me out of the story every time. I argue with myself about the probabilities etc... On the upside, I don't mind Cassandra Campbell as the audio reader; her voice doesn't grate on me.

Hoping that the second book of this cozy mystery series is as good as the first. After a friend sent me a magnetic book marker I've used nothing else. The porcupine ones I find a bit large, but useful in huge non-fictions. The smaller ones are my favourite size. Non-intrusive and handy on commute or in waiting rooms.

MMenefee Fun bookmarks! I've enjoyed every book of this series. The sister got on my nerves at first, but I've come to love her. 8y
