It's nice to get lost in one of Jessica's stories. After finishing this one, I've now checked off my #bookspin and #doublespin picks for April

so-soThe second in the series was slightly better than the first, in my opinion. Still a so-so read. Mel‘s mother I think is made to be somewhat comic with her insecurities and her overprotectiveness, but it just bothers me. Though she was dating the victim, and was a suspect, I‘m kind of glad she did not seem to be as much of a part of this book as the last one - more time to focus on Mel and Angie and the bakery! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
so-soI stumbled upon the short story that looks at Agatha‘s first case, way before she moves to the Cotswolds. It was okay. Short stories are hard for me, as I much prefer the development from a novel, but it was an interesting intro to Agatha Raisin. The audio is not a Penelope Keith audio, so I really missed her narration of this. #BBRC #Adult #LongStoryShort #52BookClub24 #AnApostropheInTheTitle

This isn‘t even all the books I read I‘m short one, but I am so proud of myself. I got a little into the witches baking show and by a little I mean almost finished lol. Fantastic start to my year!

Agatha Raisin and the Wellspring of Death is the 7th book in the Agatha Raisin series. Agatha is asked by Roy to do some PR for the Wellspring Water Group. Soon she is enthralled in a murder, but before it can be solved another happens. James has an active part in this book. I was laughing at some of the things she got into. Beaton writes a great cozy series.

My February #roll100 picks.
I read Pick 2 this month already, and Pick 1 is farther in the series than I am right now (chance I took when I put multiple books from series on there), so hopefully I'll get Pick 3 read in the right month at least lol

so-so3.5⭐️
I didn't get those awesome MSW vibes from this one. I felt like Jess wasn't the way she is in the TV show, and could almost sum up the book as some ppl die, lots of questions are asked without ever getting an answer, and there's lots of being taken from one place to another whether Jess wants to go or not. While the writing was okay, and I didn't completely dislike it, I felt a little unsatisfied

Another night, another book, another cup of tea in one of my husband's mugs
pickOh Agatha! While this one also focuses a lot on Agatha‘s love life rather than the mystery, I didn‘t find it as disruptive as the last one, perhaps because she and a regular character are both wishy-washy over their futures - to propose or not to propose…
Sinister secrets and grizzly murders abound in this series addition, featuring a less-than-holy bishop and a bunch of church bell ringers, plus an abusive vicar. #BBRC #Adult #TakesTwoToTango
so-soThis one was almost a pan…while there are some mysterious elements, the focus on Agatha‘s lack of a sex life, not to mention her practically bullying a victim of rape to tell her story, was not quite right. I know this is one of the last books written by Beaton, who passed away a few years ago.
So disappointing!
