#mrsclausandthehalloweenhomicide #kensingtonbooks #bookreview #bookblog #cozymystery One of the reasons why I love cozy mysteries so much is that I can be transported into a world of interesting and intriguing characters all the while trying to crack a case. I may not be a real life sleuth, but I do enjoy figuring out clues that can lead me to the story’s killer. Mrs. Claus and the Halloween Homicide is the second installment of the Mrs. Claus series by Liz Ireland, which tak

#ALadysFormulaforLove #ElizabethEverett #bookreview #bookblog The first in it’s series, A Lady’s Formula for Love is Elizabeth Everett’s debut novel and it was a great one! Not only did this story have swooning moments between scatterbrained but charming Lady Violet and her hired bodyguard, the stoic Arthur, it also played out as a perfect comedic movie. The timing of the quick witted and humorous writing were perfect and provided the right balance of lightheartedness and mys

#MurderontheMenu #FionaLeitch #bookreview #bookblog Murder on the Menu is the first in the Nosey Parker series. When I saw that it was a cozy mystery being offered by One More Chapter, I scooped it up. Jodie “Nosey” Parker has moved back to her Cornish birthplace with her 12-year-old daughter, Daisy in tow. After a decade as a cop in London and a divorce from her cheating husband, Nosey was anxious for a fresh start and a new career as a caterer. It doesn’t take long for Nose

#AddieLaRue #bookreview #bookblog #VESchwab This book gave me the feels. It’s a beautiful, whimsical tale about Addie LaRue who essentially makes a deal with the devil to save her from a life of an arranged, restricted marriage for the ability to be free to do whatever she wants. This deal comes at a cost of course; she will be forgotten by all within hours from meeting a person. She cannot even write her own name without it disappearing from a page. To me, this tale had a bi

#seasonofjoy #annierains #bookreview #bookblog I was given a few holiday romance books from Forever and I can’t thank them enough for sending me such endearing and festive novels. One of these novels was Season of Joy by Annie Rains. Let’s start with the cover. How cute is that with a classic holiday red truck, a Christmas tree and adorable dogs? Oh and don’t forget that perfect red barn in the background. But unlike the perfect cover, the love story between protagonists, Joy

#bookreview #thetwelvedogsofchristmas #lizzieshane #bookblog The Twelve Dogs of Christmas by Lizzie Shane is the perfect holiday cozy romance. It has a small town setting of Pine Hollow, charming characters, such as Deenie and Astrid who were my favourite, sweet heart-melting moments between protagonists Ally and Ben, and dogs. Lots and lots of adorable dogs! Not only were the dogs so cute to read about, but Shane’s writing was so good, she wrote about them in such a way that

#wellplayed #jendeluca #bookreview #bookblog #berkley I recently read Well Met by Jen DeLuca, but I had requested the advanced reader’s copy of Well Played before I had read Well Met. I saw the book everywhere on Bookstagram and it received raving reviews. I was absolutely hooked and I quickly read Well Played soon after. Well Played introduces us to the perspective of Emily’s best friend, Stacey. Stacey always has a smile on her face and is known for her sunny disposition. B

#wellmet #jendeluca #bookreview #bookblog I absolutely adored Well Met. I’ll be keeping this short but sweet. Well Met centres around Emily who has recently moved in with her sister to help take care of her niece while her sister recovers from a bad car accident. Emily is suddenly roped in with the town’s Renaissance Faire and quickly is befriended by the townsfolk who have been volunteering at the faire for years. Emily also meets the brooding and serious director of the fai

Kerry Winfrey has again delivered a wittingly funny rom-com novel that brought laughter to my mouth and provided heart melting moments...

#cozymystery #currentlyreading #bookblog #alherbert As you may be able to tell, I’m in a cozy mystery mood. I’m currently reading A.L. Herbert’s Murder with Honey Ham Biscuits. It’s the fourth book of the Mahalia Watkins Soul Food Mystery series but can be read as a standalone. I have to admit, the cover is what initially intrigued me because I think all the covers in the series are adorable. But the storyline was interesting and I’m really I’m enjoying Herbert’s style of wri
