emz711 Would love to get in on this hashtag! 2w

julieclair @emz711 We‘d love to have you join our happy group! I‘ll add you to the tag list! Each month, we each pick cozy mystery to read that is set in that month/season, or takes place around a holiday in that month. Then we post about it using the #SeasonalCozies hashtag. Very low key. There is also a StoryGraph challenge that some of us use to track our reading: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/eea8f8fe-5afb-495b-8c57-9c1c5be... 2w

kspenmoll @Read4life I am not very far with the book but plan to read lots tonight. 2w

emz711 @julieclair thanks! Sounds fun 2w

Peel My Love Like an Onion: A Novel | Ana Castillo

#12DaysofChristmas #May

I fell asleep so this one is a day late.

This is around the time my resolve to review books consistently fell apart as usual.

I love this one. Ana Castillo‘s writing is beautiful and poetic. Carmen, despite having polio as a child, is a renowned flamenco dancer in Chicago. I love reading about Carmen, her passionate love affairs, her relationship with her family, and her strength.

Bookzombie These two books, tagged, were strong contenders for May also.

The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy

Reggie This is one of my all time favorite books ever! ❤️ 4mo

Bookzombie @Reggie 🙂 You recommended it to me. 4mo

Bookzombie @Andrew65 That sounds like no fun. Sometimes I don‘t track all month and catching up for one month alone is a pain. 4mo

Andrew65 @Bookzombie Had 6 1/2 months to catch up on 🫣😱 But now back on track! I must not let it happen again 😂 4mo

Bookzombie @Andrew65 That is a lot, lol. 4mo

Honor
The Sun Does Shine
Home Fire
Black Butterflies

@Andrew65

IndoorDame So good! This was on my list of top reads last year, but it‘s one I need to revisit. 5mo

Andrew65 An excellent month of reading. 5mo

The Bishop's Pawn | Steve Berry

My #May book for #12BooksFor2023 is The Bishop‘s Pawn. An excellent Cotton Malone thriller centred around what happened in Martin Luther King‘s final days. Always love Cotton Malone books but this is one of the very best and learned a lot about Martin Luther King in this book. This reads exceptionally well as a standalone even though it is a book in a series.

kspenmoll Stacked! Sounds great! 5mo

Andrew65 @kspenmoll Definitely a very enjoyable read. 5mo

Mollyanna Cotton is my book boyfriend. I love these books, can‘t wait to get to this one! 5mo

Andrew65 @Mollyanna He is a wonderful character. If you‘ve not read them you might also be interested in the Ben Hope series by Scott Mariani. If I was in trouble I‘d want Cotton and Ben on my side.

Alchemist's Secret (UK)

Mollyanna @Andrew65 I‘ll have to check it out. Looks like Hoopla has the first one…. ‘Cuz I need another series, but if Ben is like Cotton I‘m in. 5mo

Andrew65 @Mollyanna 😂 One of my favourite series. Will be interested to hear what you think if you read it. 5mo

Bluebird This was my May pick too. It‘s also my favorite of the series! 4mo

Cranford | Elizabeth Gaskell

In #May , I think Cranford was the standout for me. I loved the series that appeared on PBS years ago - Judi Dench in Cranford!! - so I was very excited to read the original work by Gaskell. What fun! I loved the interactions with the village residents, the scandals (!), but also the camaraderie the friends have. A very enjoyable book. #12BooksOf2023

Andrew65 A true classic. 5mo

AnnR Great review of Cranford! I also love this book and the PBS mini-series. 5mo
