Welcome to Litsy!

I wasn't very successful at keeping up with my reviews last year. Here's hoping I'm more successful this year.

I'm a huge fan of Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher series so I thought I would give her Corrina Chapman series a go. I wasn't disappointed. Like Phryne it was a good fun read, yet it was different. It's full of quirky characters which I hope a recurring. Really looking forward to the next one.

A charming start to a cozy mystery series set in Melbourne, starring a baker and her wacky friends and neighbors. Someone is killing junkies in the city, and when one turns up outside Corinna‘s bakery, she feels personally invested. Come for the hot investigator, stay for the Goth club of vampire wannabes. I will keep reading the series!

The Phryne Fisher series is my fave (Harry Potter is in a class of his own, doesn‘t count!), so I finally decided to start KG‘s other series about Corinna Chapman. I loved the setting with all of the eccentric characters in the Romanesque apartment building in Melbourne, & it felt like spending time with old friends — I imagine it gets even better as it goes along. Great characters & a fun story. 5⭐️ I already requested the rest from the library!

I first read this book about a decade ago, and to read it and its sequels even now is to come into a warm, welcoming old haunt. Its sweetness and sly wit is a comfort, and the descriptions of food within will get insatiable cravings going for anyone.

Trying this series out. A bit dated, but ok so far.

I‘m living in a fictional city!!!

Opened my #MakerSwap from @ameliask8 this morning... I love it all, thank you so much!!! I'm sorry you got stuck with someone who cut out sweets 😕 but I'm SUPER impressed by the book sleeves. Especially the Marauder's Map one 😍😍😍 You did a fantastic job and I've always wanted to learn how to make them, and these are the best instructions I've seen!! Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤❤❤ I can't wait to finish the one you started for me!

I recently read somewhere that a new Corinna Chapman mystery will be out in 2018!!! Now despite my Goodreads challenge staring me in the face unfinished, I have decided to do a reread of these books! Great stress reliever!

#easyread Enjoyed this mystery- cozy read. First in a series set in a bakery in Melbourne, Australia. Interesting cast of characters, funny at times, action in a Roman building with a rooftop garden. Fast paced but Non-demanding, which I need sometimes😃. In between so-so & pick.

#riotgrams #rainbowbookstack You're probably all familiar with Greenwood's longer and more popular series featuring Phryne Fisher, well this is her contemporary mystery series. The protagonist is Corinna Chapman, a baker in Melbourne, she solves mysteries alongside the cast of characters in her apartment building. I love it as much as I love Phryne.

This was so much fun to read. It had an eclectic mix of characters and the setting was compelling. The mystery was not complex but still interesting and the romance was cute. I love the idea of the Roman apartment building. A quick and easy read but very entertaining!

#readjanuary #day29 #foodiefiction I know these two covers look wildly different, but they are both about bakers. Magic Bitter Magic Sweet is about a magical baker held captive for her talents, Earthly Delights is about a baker who gets caught up in solving crimes, by the same author as the Hon.Miss Phryne Fisher series.

Reading the first of Kerry Greenwood's Not Phryne Fisher series - about Corinna the baker. And how could I not enjoy a book with Terry Pratchett references.

This book is easy, cosy, simple, quick read and it is appropriate for when you have a full head. Mystery is not shocking, romance is unconvincing and end is sugary. But I like the story and it was fun to read it. Looks like I found my genre for #guiltypleasurereading #CulinaryMystery

Due to the madness at work I have melted brains and I need some easy reading and this one seems like a good choice.

Great quick read - I listened on audiobook and it was face paced, funny, interesting and great. Can't wait to read the next in the series

About to do some crafting and will listen to this on audio as I'm trying to do some project life
