Bonus March #ThematicCozies #Hobby pick. I liked the first Decoupage Mystery book I listened to so I went ahead & listened to the second free on Audible. This time Brenna is helping a bride-to-be accused of murdering her fiancé‘s best friend. I think there is just one more book in the series?& I‘ll probably read it too. There‘s decoupage tips & ideas & the characters both romantic & quirky small town citizens are fun.

I don't even remember how this ended up in my library holds. But it is very interesting.

My #Chatterday vibe is field trip. Headed to Kailua to visit a local bookstore & my favorite Japanese grocery & favorite natural foods store.

It‘s a 30-40 pretty drive depending on traffic so I can get a chunk of the audiobook of the second in this Decoupage Mystery series for #ThematicCozies March #Hobby I liked the first book so I‘m continuing. Fueled by coffee & a tuna onigiri/musubi

Looking forward to a relaxing Saturday. 😌

Enjoying this audiobook while waiting on dinner. 🎧📕🍝🥗

Sometimes it‘s not the characters or the dialogue that is the star, but it is McCracken‘s narrator who runs off with the whole of “Bowlaway,” a book with sentences so off-kilter and rich that the highest compliment I can give it is it begs to be adapted into film by Wes Anderson. Something in every paragraph makes your brows furrow, provides a chuckle about the seemingly cursed New England candlepin alley at the turn of the century. A delight.

Finished the audiobook this weekend as I ran errands, I enjoyed this pick for #ThematicCozies March #Hobby Brenna has been in her small New England town, a refugee of Boston where the art gallery she ran was violently robbed. She teaches decoupage art in the paper craft store her friend Tenley owns & gets involved in solving the mayor‘s death when her landlord is accused. The characters show promise & I like that there⬇️
