Welcome to Litsy!

“She made a cup of instant coffee …” lol we would never be friends 😂

My first thought for #TranquilTuesday was the British cozy mysteries I love in books and on TV. The village in the Cotswolds where Agatha Raisin moves seems like a tranquil place to live, except for all the murders! (Much like Midsomer Murders TV show) #MagnificentMarch

I really enjoyed my first (well two) Agatha Raisin mysteries. I'd not read M. C. Beaton before but I have added the third book to my TBR list. I'm a big fan of the TV series and whilst there are some distinct differences the essence of the two remain the same. A good fun read. And I'm using it for the British crime novel prompt for my #readingwidelychallenge with my library.

I've finished the first story now onto the second. My first M.C. Beaton and I really enjoyed it.

I've had a great day today listening to Double J replay 1999's Triple J's hottest 100, whilst parenting and doing chores. So much great music. Even managed to find extra time to read my first M. C. Beaton.

(Triple J is a youth radio station and each year the audience votes for their favourites which becomes the hottest 100. Double J is its sister station for slightly older listeners. They do a lot to promote local music and unearth new talent.)

My library holds came in. The DVD is a series my husband wants to watch.

#bookmail I ordered the Jan Karon book for hubby; he‘s been dealing with some anxiety issues the past couple months and was reading something that was just too intense. He loves the Father Tim books and hasn‘t read this one yet. And, after @BlameJennyJane introduced me to Agatha Raisin, I decided I need to dig into this series. This book contains the first two Agatha mysteries.

I‘m reposting this so I remember I want to do it! I go through phases of reading cozy mysteries, so I think this will be fun. See the post on their pages for details.

Not as funny as it was on TV and minor characters are indistinguishable so I was forgetting who was who amongst the suspects

I love this series of books. I initially got hooked on the tv series, and now I am loving the books. Cozy mysteries in small town English village. Nosy neighbours, funny characters and a middle aged, gutsy and often hilarious detective. What‘s not to love?

I seem to be in a cozy mystery phase right now. Earl grey latte and a cookie, perfect partners for Agatha Raisin.🍪

4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book was fabulous company while finishing a knitting homework assignment. Agatha is positively insane- in all of ways that I like 🤪!! I‘m glad that the series seems long enough to take me through the rest of my beginner‘s class and maybe even through intermediate knitting this spring!! 🧦🧤🧣

Feeling like a little snark on a Sunday morning :) I wasn't sure I liked Agatha in the first of this series as she's kind of a bat... but she's grown on me! Midway through " The Vicious Vet". Bring on the snark! #mystery #snark #currentread
