so-so#ThematicCozies @julieclair I was disappointed in my pick. I couldn't get over Eleanor, who was supposed to be this world traveler with a career in1920s yet she blushed and crushed like a schoolgirl at the first cute guy she saw. Meh.
panI'm sorry to say that I simply didn't find this book to be very good. Granted, it's the third in a series. The stories stand alone, but there were references to previous stories, like many mystery series. I would have bailed if it weren't a mystery. I wanted to know whodunit, but the ending fell flat for me. It simply wasn't very creative or well-written, in my opinion.

pickThe prequel to Legends & Lattes (#Seriesread2025) and I loved hearing a bit of Viv‘s backstory. This was wonderful and I enjoyed every minute of it, especially the epilogue. Glad to hear that another book in this universe is coming out this year.

I finished my second #ThematicCozies #Animal pick today running errands. I found it cute & enjoyable overall, especially the setting of Wagtail, Virginia, a town set up to cater to pets & the pet experience inn that the MC‘s grandmother runs there. There‘s the usual cozy quirky small town characters—here they are humans & their pets & the mystery was pretty easy to solve. I would try another book in the⬇️
This world! This story is just too lovely! Plan to finish this weekend, although I really, really want this story to go on for at least a thousand more pages 📚👏🤩📚💝.

January 2025 animal ( Diesel, the Maine Coon cat)
Set in a small town Mississippi, partially in a library.
pickIt took me so long to finally read these books and now I am hooked! I love the characters and the world and I want to read moremoremore!
pickThis cozy mystery was enjoyable and a light read. I enjoyed the characters, especially the Standard Poodle, Captain Haviland. This novel brought up mixed feelings about development on the coastline. The writers group individuals were each in the process of trying to write a book. Cozy mysteries are what I refer to as “fluff” meaning they for fun. I gave this a 4/5 stars
