We just got back from visiting extended family in Ohio for the Thanksgiving holiday. When I was packing for the trip, I had to decide what book I wanted to take with me. I wanted to take along a light and fun read and First Degree Mudder by Kate Dyer-Seeley was a perfect choice. This is the fourth book in the Pacific Northwest Mystery Series, but it was new to me. However, the author is not. I love Kate’s Bakeshop Mystery…
A couple weeks ago a missionary from the Dominican Republic visited my kids at school and talked about some of the work she is doing there. Her name is Jamielynn Tinkey. I have never meat Jamielynn. But she had quite the impact on my kids. All three came home from school and wanted to have a lemonade stand to raise money to send to her and support her work. Since it is October and our street isn’t that busy, we…
I’ve got to tell you. I did not plan to enjoy this book. ~ I’m not a cat person ~ “Kitty Couture” didn’t strike me as something I’d be interested in However there was a cute beagle on the book’s cover and I’m a sucker for beagles, so I thought I’d give it a try. And I’m ssssoooo glad I did. I found a new series for sure! Cat Got Your Diamonds is the first in the Kitty Couture Mystery series…

Her grandmother passed away from cancer many years ago and she still enjoys the friendship she finds from the individuals she gets to work with in the center. I enjoyed that beneath Cherry’s tough exterior, she had such a heart for these individuals and you could…
Today is Election Day in the United States. And like so many others around our great nation, I was not looking forward to voting. Not only was I not looking forward to it, I was dreading it. On my way to pick up my oldest from school, I gave myself a pep talk. I would vote after I picked him up. At least I would have it over with and have “done my duty.” Then I picked up an energetic kiddo…
This was a wild weekend around our house. What better way to unwind than with a book set in a coffee shop? A Whole Latte Murder by Caroline Fardig chronicles the life and adventures of Juliet Langley who runs a coffee shop in Nashville. Juliet is a power house of a protagonist. She takes charge and is always ready to stand up for what she thinks is right. I was drawn to the cover and title of this book. It…
So, who wants to hear something funny? Today, I was scheduled to review Key to a Murder by Vicki Vass. I sat down this week and read the book. I enjoyed it quite a bit and then sat down to write my review. That’s when I realized something wasn’t right. The synopsis posted on Amazon of the book didn’t sound much like the book I read. Then I went back and did some checking. Turns out that I had a copy of…
