This was really cute! I‘ve not read any others in the series, so I have no frame of reference, but I didn‘t feel like I was missing anything by not having read them. But I would check out more of the books! Ellie is a dedicated volunteer at her kids‘ elementary school, but the discovery of a body in a supply closet on the morning of Muffins for Moms, throws her life into chaos. The mystery was really good and I liked Ellie a lot!

This was just “okay“ for me. I feel like the story was super far-fetched (but again, what cozy isn't a bit far-fetched). Maybe because this isn't the 1st in the series? Perhaps because I doubt someone would go to those lengths for a home? Or maybe just... i mean. That house sounds so out of their price range. --- but I finished this super quick, so it did keep me interested enough

ElizaMarie @IndoorDame @dabbe @AmyG - thanks! We have this “bird buddie,“ which records birds that visit that feeder. So.. I get some adorable pictures of birds sent to my phone. It makes me happy to see them. This bird comes over quite often. And I think his girlfriend is coming over too. She isn't as red (so I think that means she is a she). Honestly don't know much about birds, but I enjoy them when they are being cute and dropping by. 4d
IndoorDame @ElizaMarie okay, that is a use of technology I can totally get behind. I love the idea of seeing the birds that visit when you‘re not there! 4d
bookandbedandtea Your bird friend is gorgeous! I'm tempted to get a "bird buddy" now. 4d
Velvetfur The 'bird buddy' sounds great! That is such a gorgeous little visitor too 🥰 3d
ElizaMarie @bookandbedandtea Oh it's great! I had gotten it for my husband as a gift (I can't remember the gift occasion, though), but.. he had been feeding the birds and doing garden stuff, so this worked. I share the app log in - shared account. So I can peak. Also, they give you facts about the birdies. 3d
ElizaMarie @Velvetfur I will make sure to post more. I could start using the # #Birdbuddy :) 3d
julieclair Such a beautiful cardinal! I wish the book had been better, but I‘m glad you still enjoyed it. 😃 2d

MsLeah8417 What is #Roll100 ? 4d
See All 8 Comments
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 3d
Read4life @MsLeah8417 it‘s a low key, fun challenge to read books on your shelves (physical, digital and audiobooks). You make a list of 100 books, ebooks and/or audiobooks that you‘d like to read. @PuddleJumper rolls 3 numbers each month. You then try to read 1, 2 or all 3 of the rolled books from your list. You can always read any book from your list anytime so you don‘t have to wait for it to be rolled. If a completed # is rolled, you can either replace 3d
Read4life It with another title, consider it a completed number for the month or read the book a number above or below the rolled one. Again, it‘s all fun and just an enjoyable way to tackle your TBR. Hope this helps, @MsLeah8417 If you‘d like to join, just go to the link @CSeydel posted above and tell @PuddleJumper you‘d like to be added to the tag list. 🤓 (edited) 3d
julieclair Great list. Happy reading! 2d

Picked this one because it felt May flowerish. Started it yesterday while my husband was at the casino #TequillaSunrise. Not feeling the MC yet. But giving it a chance.

julieclair That title! Love it! And that drink looks so yummy. 🍹 4d
ElizaMarie @julieclair The drink was next level! I was surprised. I had picked that drink because I ordered it on Cinco de Mayo and wasn't feeling a Margarita (well not that early in the day) - haha.

Murder with Lemon Tea Cakes | Karen Rose Smith

Posting timely! 🤓🙂‍↕️

It‘s Sun eve & it‘s #hyggehappyhour or #hyggereadinghour or #hyggeforthewin … 😜 Just finished What Mother Won‘t Tell Me (3.5 ⭐️), and starting the tagged for #SeasonalCozies for May! (Mother‘s Day + tea 😉)

Also tried to read You Be Mother… did not enjoy it. Cut out at p. 100… maybe some feedback from #RealLifeBookGroup (rlbg) will persuade me to keep going. For now, a bail.

But read next month‘s #rlbg also: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😄

julieclair I can‘t resist a cover with a tea pot! 🫣 Hope you enjoy it! 4d
CarolynM I‘ve read a few in that Karen Rose Smith series. They‘re fun. Enjoy! 3d

My #MayTBR Honestly, I doubt I‘ll get to all of these. I have a big work trip with long flights that may/may not help because of all the work around them. Nonetheless I‘m loading my Kindle & joining in on #SundayBuddyRead #ChildrensClassicRead2024 #NancyDrewBR #SheSaid #BobWhiteBuddies #Naturalitsy #FoodAndLit #Roll100 & #SeasonalCozies I‘m also reading a book for virtual foodie book club, a book for the work trip, some #SeriesLove2024 titles & ⬇️

DebinHawaii …one from my #AuldLangSpine list too. And a couple “just because” titles. We‘ll see what happens & what ends up sneaking in the mix. 📚📚🤷🏻‍♀️📚📚📚 6d
TheSpineView I love long flights. I can get tons of reading time in. 6d
Librarybelle Good luck! 6d

I already bailed on my May #seasonalcozies pick, so I'm replacing it with May Day. Thanks @CogsOfEncouragement for the recommendation!

I've unfortunately already bailed on my #SeasonalCozies pick for May, so I might try to find another cozy to replace it this month. Suggestions welcome!
@julieclair

CogsOfEncouragement Yeah, this series wasn‘t my jam either. The Murder by Month Rom Com series by Jess Lourey is kinda fun, and that series begins in May. 1w
CoffeeNBooks @CogsOfEncouragement Thanks for the recommendation- May Day sounds much better, and it's free on Kindle Prime! 7d

Such a crazy week! I‘m still putting together my May TBR but here is my April recap. Surprisingly, I finished 18 books this month. The fact that several were short novellas or children‘s books helped.😉

I took part in #SundayBuddyRead #JaneAdjacent #ChildrensClassicRead2024 NancyDrewBR #BobWhiteBuddies #SheSaid #TravelingStars2024 & #SeasonalCozies I also finished all 3 of my #Roll100 books & read several #SeriesLove2024 books & one from my ⬇️

DebinHawaii #AuldLangSpine list & knocked out a couple of challenge prompts. While I didn‘t get around to a couple of books/challenges I wanted to, I feel great about the month. I enjoyed most of what I read but standouts were Zorrie, The Second, Saving Mr. Rochester, A First Time for Everything & the final 2 1/2 books in The Naturals series. 1w
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 1w
