The year is winding down (and rather quickly at that), so for my birthday month I’m focusing my reading on some fun cozy mysteries…
I read a lot of darker themed books for most of the year, so I like to have a few of these quick reads on hand to lighten things up a bit. Mint Chocolate Murder is the third installment in Meri Allen’s Ice Cream Shop series. I enjoyed the first two and I can’t wait to see what kind of trouble Riley and her companions find themselves in this time.
Laura Childs is a name that seems so familiar to me, but I have never read any of her books! Time to end that by diving into her Tea Shop Mystery series, starting with Death by Darjeeling. I was so optimistic that I would love a story set in a tea shop in South Carolina that I went ahead and picked up the second book, Gunpowder Green.
And as for Death of a Coupon Clipper…I saw it was set on a snowy day so I’m adding that to my monthly list as well.
As of this writing, I am two books shy of reaching my Goodreads goal of 125 books for the year. I also have three titles left on my personal “20 must-read” list: The Thicket by Joe Lansdale, The Ragged Edge of Night by Olivia Hawker, and The Fisherman by John Langan. I’ve started all three and they are incredible (so far).
What are your reading goals for the month? Drop me a line and let’s talk books!
Stay safe, and Happy Reading!
