As many of you know, I love to read. And although mysteries and fiction books tend to be my happy place, one goal I have for 2017 is to branch out and read more books in other genres. I picked up a copy of Getting Noticed: A No-Nonsense Guide to Standing Out and Selling More for Momtrepreneurs Who ‘Aint Got Time for That’ after I saw a couple friends post about it on their Facebook Pages. I was apprehensive about reading…
If you are like me, and like to read Christmas themed books through the month of December, Better off Thread by Amanda Lee is a great one to keep you full of Christmas cheer. Marcy and her dog Angus steal the show in this cozy mystery. I could tell there had been books in this series before this one (quite a few by the look of the inside front cover), but you didn’t feel that you were coming into the…
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…
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…
A Composition in Murder was a fun read. It follows the adventures of fast talking artist, Cherry Tucker. A big part of Cherry’s life involves a senior living center where she works as an artist. 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…
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…
True Confession – The Great Escapes Virtual Book Tours have had so many awesome book review opportunities recently, I may have said yes to too many in a short amount of time. When this review was coming due, I was worried. I only had a couple days to read the book and write my review. Well, I shouldn’t have been worried at all because Send in the Clowns by Julie Mulhern was such a great read that I had it…
My name is Garth McNary. I am guest posting on Marie’s blog today to tell you about a new book we just finished reading. The Good, The Bad, and the Guacamole by Rebecca Adler. I have never guest posted on a blog before, but if Lenny the Chihuahua in this book can have a blog, I figured why can’t I guest post? I sat next to my Mom on the couch and slept while she read the book, so I…
Trying to decide what to read next? I have a new release for you to check out. I just finished, Crepe Factor by Laura Childs (with Terrie Farley Moran). It is the perfect read for those cool October nights when you just want to curl up with a good book. This is the fourteenth book in the “Scrapbook Mystery Series” but the first one I’ve read. I am a fan of Laura’s “Tea Shop Mystery Series,” thus when I heard…
