Welcome to Litsy!

Agatha Raisin is very different from a lot of female sleuths, but I think that‘s what makes her so interesting. It was fun to read the first book in this series and get all her back story. This is an interesting mystery in a setting (the Cotswolds) that I really want to visit. Thanks again @BlameJennyJane for introducing me to Agatha. I‘d never known about these books without Litsy. No pictures of quiche, so it‘s just my peach crumb pie.

#Litsypartyofone Good morning, party goers. Trying to get some reading in while I can, but it‘s going to be a crazy day. My weekly WW meeting this morning, plus the AC technician and the phone repair person (our phone line went down yesterday, too) due after lunch. Plus, it‘s Penn State football this afternoon! I‘m loving reading all your posts 😘 #Hostpost #MrBook1inMillion #24b4Monday

Overall not my favorite cozy.... some funny moments but didn‘t really hold my attention.

#Litsypartyofone #MrBook1inaMilliion. I succumbed to the call of the Halloween candy, and to Agatha Raisin. I bought this last week, which includes the first two Agatha mysteries, so I‘m going to start the tagged book. I figure Agatha would like to party. 😂

Cozy blankets, cozy socks and a cozy read. The perfect end to my night 🥰

It was a fine cozy mystery. Some funny bits. Thanks to other Litsy folk, have the first series (season) of the TV show waiting for me at the library. The book kept me company while I was puttering around the house today, culminating in starting a new jigsaw puzzle tonight.

Agatha is considered a #MardyBum by quite a few people. I think she‘s a riot, especially as she tries to make nice with her new neighbors. Poisoned quiche, anyone? This is the first in the Agatha Raisin series - they‘re quick, Agatha‘s cantankerous yet hysterical, and she seems to stumble into murder wherever she goes. #Ayupaugust

I finally got a chance to watch the movie version of the first Agatha Raisin novel. I‘ve seen the TV seasons but not this. Not reading, but still a fun #CozyintheSun activity!

#cozyinthesun My first cozy mystery of the month. Agatha cracks me up! I'm definitely going to read more of this series😁

I have read this one before but I wanted to refresh my memory because I‘m planning to read more Agatha Raisin for #CozyintheSun this month! I still liked the story, although it makes me realize how the TV version changed Agatha some. The TV version isn‘t nearly as grumpy. The audiobook from my library includes book two so I‘m starting it soon. Then I‘m going to rewatch the episodes.

The real name of the pina coladas song is Escape. In this series, Agatha Raisin escapes into early retirement in the Cotswolds. I‘m listening to the first two books to warm up for the #CozyintheSun challenge! #IfYouLikePinaColadas #SongsofSummer

The first book i read by M.C Beaton!
My grandmother used to read M.C Beaton titles when i was a little girl and the covers always used to appeal to me. I thoroughly enjoyed this title!
The Agatha Raisin series have a lovely humorous aspect to them to make light reading.

As the newbie in the Village, it's assumed that Agatha is behind poisoning her quiche with the intent of murdering, but can she prove she's innocent with the village against her?

I am finally digging into a series that I have heard lots about but never got around to reading. So far so good!

The county libraries changed computer systems, which broke user access to their library catalogue and audiobook app for more than 2 weeks. 😣 Now audiobook access is back, at least, just in time for me to renew and download my reserved books before they expired. 😅 Easter is crime/mystery time for all Norwegians, and I'm ready to clean, cook, and decorate whilst listening to this strange title. 😁

A very easy read for #booked2019 #femaledetective. I had to raise my eyebrows at some of the unlikely happenings in this book but it was an entertaining, sometimes funny, read.

Current read...

Audio carving and finished with my 1st Agatha Raisin!

I recently saw the tv series, so I had to try this book. Agatha Raisin is so real and relatable and the plot felt leisurely, yet gripping (if that‘s possible). I‘m in love!!

3/5
Read this from a reco I saw on @RealLifeReading for #Booked2018 #cozymystery prompt. Was going to read Still Life but the wait at my library was too long! 😂 This was an easy quick read, which was a nice break for me. 😬
#Litsymademedoit

A dreary morning makes for bad lighting but reading this book has cheered me up. It's a delightful romp about a poisoned quiche entered in a village cooking contest. Agatha Raisin, recent incomer from London, can't cook to save her life and had in fact bought said quiche from a bakery, sets out to put things right.
Warning: grumpy main character; lots of microwaved meals; might make you think twice about retiring to little English village

Now that's more like it... the kids are asleep, I've got my pjs on and the mystery crochet-along that I'm working on, also the pitterpatter of rain outside. Some quiet to read and crochet! This week feels very long...

Thanks to suggestions @julesG and @Rachellynnwright I downloaded this #cozymystery for #booked2018
I kinda love this cute version of the cover!

No quiche to accompany it though instead it was freshly made noodles (fresh from a factory in Alameda that is!), braised chicken wings, garlicky broccoli and crispy tofu!

I have only been on Litsy for a bit over a month, so there are thousands of books I loved before but the tagged book was a birthday gift last April and after I devoured it, I promptly hunted down the rest of the series.
It's a light, cozy mystery. Nothing to set the world on fire, but great for a relaxing read. Some people don't like Agatha's personality but she makes me giggle😀 (and sometimes cringe) 😬

Reading my very first cozy mystery!

Book haul😊

I enjoyed this book. A fun light hearted mystery with great characters.

Although Agatha Raisin is not the most likeable of characters, she grows on you... surprisingly! I am looking forward to continuing the series and seeing what further mischief Agatha can get herself into🙄

"Agatha led them indoors. Detective Chief Inspector Wilkes introduced a dark, silent man beside him as Detective Sergeant Friend, and a young tubby oriental who looked like a Buddha as Detective Constable Wong."

I repeat "...a young tubby oriental who looked like a Buddha as Detective Constable Wong." ????

A quick light read which was enjoyable.

Stuck in bed with a bad hip... Figured I would need a little bit of light humoured fun to get through this hip... A third through and am definitely not disappointed with my choice.

This is a picnic of books.

Took a break to watch some TV with the hubby and then #audiocoloring !

The repair requests for my new house finally went through, so I started this cozy on audio while I start packing! I'm on the fence about it so far.

Another lovely British mystery series!

I listened to the first Agatha Raisin on audible and then immediately when out and bought THE COMPLETE COLLECTION. #bookproblems

I didn't have the best reading month in March ☹️It started off with a 5⭐ read then a couple of weeks in the middle of a huge book slump and a couple of ok reads. The Pottermore book was great though 👍🏻 Onwards and upwards in April! 📚

This book had me laughing out at several points.

#FunFridayPhoto 2.0 This isn't a movie but I recently started watching the Agatha Raisin series and love it. I have read the first few books and enjoyed them too, but I may like the show better.

Inspired by Agatha to make our own quiche. Produce is from Costco, so I feel pretty safe 😊

@RealLifeReading
I don't know if these two books are good for #foodiefiction, but it's the closest I can get with what I have on my shelves ☺🍴

I am loving this book. I have been thinking about reading some mysteries for a while as I never really have and someone told me to start here. I love Agatha she is so snarky and great. I do want to try some Agatha Christie out as well.

So I am now officially obsessed with Agatha Raisin! What a great character, wonderful village and just good fun. It holds up well and I can not wait to read more!

Have never read an Agatha Raisin but I know many love her so thought I would try it as I have the first one on my Kindle - not feeling well so off to bed - Kindle easier when you need glasses to read! Boo to aging 😂😂😂

#photoadaynov16 #setinasmalltown I love a good cozy mystery now and then..and this series, set in picturesque Cotswolds, is witty and entertaining. Agatha Raisin is as much a 'national treasure' as Miss Marple, only more feisty!
@RealLifeReading

Cosy murder mysteries at the bargain price of 20 books for (d0. Won't be short of books this winter!

Love, love, love! Agatha Raisin is amazing. She is so relatable that I see my future self in her a little bit. She is a perfectly flawed character, and I can't wait to continue reading more books in this series. Thanks #Audible and #AmazonPrime for the new perk that let me listen to it for free! 💜💜💜

I've been meaning to check out this series, and the first book is free through Audible of you have Amazon Prime. There are some really good selections on there, including Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng and even Pride and Prejudice! Check it out!

After more than a decade of my mom bugging me to read these books, I've started and can't be stopped! I liked every thing about it, and how flawed and realistic each character is. Plus, the Cotswolds! They're on my shortlist to visit whenever I get to England.
