This was originally for #riseupreads but we got started late. So glad we went ahead and read it though. Great book. My youngest son really enjoyed it and it‘s usually difficult for him to enjoy books without visuals. I liked a story about the importance of being who you really are. And also having a trans character as the main character.

#RiseUpReads October 2025

I really liked this cozy mystery! I‘ll definitely read more in the series. It‘s great to see more diverse cozy mysteries being published in recent years.

Any other diverse cozy mysteries y‘all enjoy or have tried? I like Tita Rosie‘s Kitchen series

TheBookHippie I‘ve got it here yet. The month went off the rails a bit. I hope to get to it this week. 2w

IriDas This is not a genre I typically read, but I enjoyed it. I think it might have to do with working in an elementary school and being a single mom. I got a lot of the craziness that those two worlds create. 2w

willaful I enjoyed it, though not a fan of the love triangle. 2w

@Catsandbooks and @TheBookHippie thank y‘all for your review of this one! I had initially planned to skip September #RiseUpReads book as it didn‘t initially grip me (I‘m rarely a pirate person) but it was so so much more! 🩷🩷🩷🩷
