Welcome to Litsy!

#3 of 2024. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is my third time reading this first in the series, the second time on audio, and every time I read this, I find more things that bother me. I cannot stand Mel‘s mother. She‘s a horror - thank goodness my mother does not come to my house to make sure I‘m awake!

I do plan to continue to listen to the series - cupcakes for the win! - but I‘ll be interested to see how the characters develop.

I read this book when it was published (2010) & others that followed in this author‘s Cupcake Bakery Mystery series.

I started this today because it was a bonus borrow on Hoopla last month. I tried another cozy a few months ago for similar reasons and enjoyed it. I bailed on this one after only 12 minutes because the explanations of everything from character descriptions to character relationships are just a bit too writer-y. There‘s also an emphasis on defining the characters by their high school identities as if it was the defining time of their lives somehow.

Y‘all I am on a serious killer cozy mystery binge session and im not even mad about it.

Thank you so much @BarkingMadRun for my #Bookcupidswap gift! It looks great! Happy Valentine's Day!
Thanks for hosting and a Happy Valentine's Day to you @candority !

When you are reading Fahrenheit 451 but also want something light and fluffy at the same time...

Just engaged in some impulse retail therapy because I got the call that they‘re not letting my husband come to the first baby appointment this week :(

Got a little library #bookhaul today - hoping one of these keeps my interest. I keep starting books and bailing halfway through even though I‘m enjoying them. Bonus #catsoflitsy Edie and Chloe in the background washing up after and finishing up dinner, respectively.

I love collecting bookmarks

This is a reread for me although this time around I listened to it on audiobook. This series is definitely comfort reading for me which is what I need right now. I forgot to set a timer to keep track of my #25inFive readathon total hours.

1. As a lover of the cozy mystery genre I have to pick Jenn McKinlay's Cupcake Bakery series. I make sure I have cake around whenever I read that series!
2. Potatoes.
3. I don't like any seafood.
4. Thanksgiving. Potatoes, stuffing, and green bean casserole.
5. I don't have a favorite restaurant.

A fun cozy mystery that was the perfect accompaniment to two days of cookie baking. I started book 2 while baking today and will finish it and start book 3 when I decorate the cookies on Sunday.

I have to do a lot of baking today, so I'm going to set the mood with this cozy mystery audiobook set in a bakery 🍪

Such a cute cozy about a cupcake bakery. I really liked the fact that I didn't figure out who the killer was early on. This book kept me guessing.

Another cozy series I haven't started yet. #foodiefiction #readjanuary

My much used Jenn McKinlay bookmark is showing distinct signs of wear and tear...

Not the worst cozy mystery I've read, not the best. I just needed something quick and breezy, and this fit the bill and kept me entertained.
