pickWhile humorous and somewhat entertaining, I think I‘d give it 3.5 🌟. When Fiona, Evie‘s best friend is the top suspect for a murder on Mackinac island, Evie does her best to prove Fiona‘s innocence. Misleading the tourists to think it‘s all part of a mystery game adds to the schtick.

so-soThis one reminded me very much of The Moving Finger by Agatha Christie, only with another real crime and an ending that was quite suprising. But I still ahd to think of Christie the whole time.
panThis was really bad. It wants to be Legends and Lattes but is full of terrible jokes, a complete mess of a story. Also it felt like a bunch of short stories pieced together to make a book. Do not recommend, I only finished for a reading prompt. 1⭐️

I enjoyed this Christmas cozy mystery first book but didn‘t love it. Quite predictable, not at the beginning but in the middle of the story. Too slow but it is the first book in the series and I think it introduced well the characters. 2nd book in this series was chosen for #CBBC this year round so I decided to read book one first to continue with book 2😃👍 @Mommamanzi 2.8/3⭐️
pickThis follow up to one of my favorite fantasies follows the librarian who created The Spellshop‘s sentient spider plant. When Terlu wakes after years in statue form, she finds herself on an island of magical greenhouses, full of powerful plants, singing flowers, and tiny pollinating dragons, but empty of anyone except a reclusive gardener with a baking talent. A little long, but a lovely and heartening story about loss, loneliness, and community.
