so-soI like to read a middling kind of book during my lunch break at work. A story that is interesting enough to draw me in but not enough that I can‘t keep an eye on the time. This mystery definitely qualifies- it‘s okay- I wouldn‘t recommend it and I‘m glad I got it at a used book sale.
pick#BookSpin finished! I‘ve been out of the reading mode this week, but tonight I‘ve got baseball on and I finished the first Kate Shackleton. Big thumbs up. There‘s a sadness, a gentle grief, that permeates this series, and it really fits. The mystery was interesting, but the characters are the draw. A cozy mystery, yes, but a very thoughtful one.
I‘m in! Not sure yet what my goals are, but I‘ll get a list together. Maybe a bingo for #BookSpinBingo! The tagged book is enjoyable and I read for a couple of hours tonight, but it feels like I‘m reading while slogging through molasses. WTH?
1. Orchard
2. I love both, but I‘ll go soup. Together they‘re the biggest reason I love cooking in cold weather.
3. Ahhh, neither. Not one for flavored coffee.
4. Bonfires, totally.
5. Apple! I dislike pumpkin pie. 🤷♀️
I love doing these! If you do too consider yourself tagged.
Getting started on my #BookSpin and #Screamathon TBR! Soooo happy I dove into #BookSpinBingo last month. I‘m already plotting future lists. November might be books with thanks/thankful themes or the word in the title (still mulling this) and December is definitely Christmas 🎄.
I‘m late to the #cyoreadathon this weekend, but my goal is three books.
Happy Saturday!
so-soHaving successfully tracked down missing soldiers for their families after WWI, Kate Shackleton is asked by a friend from when they were both in the VAD to turn professional and find her father, a mill owner who went missing in 1916.
Interesting background, but I think I spotted a slip with regard to Kate's family (admittedly not the real focus of the story) which an editor should have caught.
pickThis is the first in this series, Kate Shackleton Mystery. A friend asks Kate to find out why her father disappeared. Set in a quaint Yorkshire village! In a way it is similar to the Maisie Dobbs mysteries, which I also like! #bookseries
so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️ nice historical mystery. Will continue the series after I finish Veronica Speedwell series 😬
#kateshackletonseries
On the theme of fibre arts in preparation for our fibre tour of Ireland. This novel is set after the war in England - Kate Shackleton, ex-VAC and widowed by the war - officially declared herself a private detective.
I am loving this cost mystery. So many good little nuggets. I think our world could use a few more Mrs. Sugdens.
