#bookspinbingo #bookspinJuly
@TheAromaofBooks Thanks for including me in the list. It was a wonderful journey that held me accountable to get some reading done and I can‘t wait to join you in August.

This is my post for the #bookspin this month. As you can see, my bingo sheet is no where near complete. I‘m an excruciatingly slow reader 🙈😂 Hopefully, I might FINALLY hit a bingo in August. Until then.... 👋🏽📚

TheAromaofBooks You're making great progress!!! 4y
TheAromaofBooks Also, I know you're going to keep working on the same bingo sheet, but do you want to be tagged with the BookSpin numbers for August? 4y
i.besteph @TheAromaofBooks Aww thank you so much! 🥺♥️ 4y
i.besteph @TheAromaofBooks yes please do! I don‘t mind the rearranging 😊 4y

I was dreading this one but the second book wasn‘t that bad. Compared to the first, this one had more of the mystery that I look for in a cozy. There‘s a shift in the author‘s writing as the story is more focused on the mystery at hand. I‘m actually looking forward to the next one in the series.

Book description ⬇️

i.besteph Book description: When Francesca‘s old high school crush, Todd, is accused of murder, she is convinced he is innocent. The police don‘t believe Todd‘s story, and neither does Matty.

During the busy summer tourist season at Cape Bay, Francesca sets out to prove Todd‘s innocence. Matty, however, investigates to prove Todd is guilty. Why does Matty detest Todd so much? But what if he‘s right—what if Todd is a murderer?

Librarybelle Glad you enjoyed this one better than the first in the series! 4y
TheAromaofBooks Sometimes it takes an author a book or two to get into their stride. 4y

Pick, pick, pick!!
I love the author and her writing. Her books are unforgettable and deserve the 5-star rating. This is the first book in the series and it didn‘t disappoint. There is tension, drama and a whole lot of mystery all happening in a bake shop. The best thing about this cozy series are the recipes in back. I can‘t wait to give them all a try.

Book description ⬇️

i.besteph Book description: After graduating from culinary school, Juliet Capshaw returns to her quaint hometown of Ashland, Oregon, to heal a broken heart and help her mom at the family bakery.

But when one of Torte's customers turns up dead, there's much ado about murder...

This one is coming with me to my doctors appointments today. Hopefully I can get back into #BookSpinJuly. So far I‘ve only crossed three books off the board, and we‘re already half way through the month. 😬

@TheAromaofBooks

Hestapleton I‘m in the exact same boat!! 4y

This was a fairly quick and light read or rather listen (Idk the correct term 😬) and I love the cover! 😍The story, covering a bit of cozy style romance and mystery, albeit wasn‘t bad, dragged a bit for my taste.
However, this is the first book in the series so I won‘t completely bail it just yet. Here‘s hoping the next one is better. 🤞🏽😅

I finished this one while drinking a homemade maple latte. I know maple in summer? But hey, in Dubai we only have 2 seasons. It‘s either summer or winter (minus the snow) so I‘m guessing it‘s alright. 😂

If you‘d like to try it out, check out the below link:

Have a great day! :D

i.besteph Book description: It‘s the role of a lifetime for Jules. The Shakespeare Festival has returned to Ashland, Oregon, for the season and Torte has been cast as the supplier of Elizabethan-era treats for the main event. But on the eve of opening night, a brawl between Jules‘s friend Lance, the artistic director, and a strapping young thespian named Anthony almost brings down the house. . .and the next morning, Anthony is dead. 4y
i.besteph Jules knows that Lance loves his drama―and his just desserts―but she also knows that murder is way off-script for him. Now it‘s up to Jules to cut through a bevy of backstage betrayals and catty co-stars who all have their own secrets―before the curtain drops on someone else. . . 4y
Librarybelle I really need to get to this series! So much love for it, and I like the colorful cover art of each book. 4y

i.besteph Book description: The heat is on for pastry chef, family business operator, and unlikely sleuth Jules Capshaw. Just when she thought she could enjoy some time away from the kitchen, Jules manages to discover a skull during a picnic by the lake. As if unearthing remains that may be connected to a missing-persons case from the 1960s isn‘t enough on her plate, Jules must contend with the unsolved matter of her own marriage. 4y
Librarybelle I love listening to cozies - great distraction! 4y
i.besteph @Librarybelle exactly! It‘s a wonderful distraction. :) 4y
