Miss Marple solving a murder in a small village is always a good time. This one also has an interesting cast of characters and a rather clever puzzle mystery.

Looks like this is my #bookspin choice for the month! Which is timely: if I leave it much longer before I get round to reading this, I'll have forgotten everything about the first book.

In setting up my list, I included a couple of books I already read in February/am partway through, since I'm thinking I'll set up a #bookspinbingo card too. Just need to try not to become obsessive about it, either in creating it or trying to stick to it. 😅

This is an older book of Roberts's (1991), which was mainly illustrated by how many cigarettes the MC smoked 😂 Cilla a night DJ for a Denver radio station who starts getting threatening calls from a listener who says he wants revenge and is going to kill her. You'll be unsurprised to learn that Cilla ends up with a hot, single detective to help her through these trying times. This book definitely had some weak spots in the suspense aspect of ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) of the plot, but as usual Roberts writes likable and engaging characters. The next book is about Cilla's sister, and I'll definitely be reading that one soon.

If you ignore the fact that these people have only known each other for, like, two weeks, this was a perfectly fun read. Violet's off to Alaska to talk to a grumpy guy who could help her fix her job, but he isn't interested in having an Outsider tell him what they should do with their land. So he challenges her to see if she can handle an Alaskan winter. Violet seemed like she should annoy me, but I actually found her can-do attitude to be kind ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) of endearing. Definitely a soft pick, but not a bad piece of brain candy.

I first bought, read, and loved this book back in 2020. Now that we're getting ready to move and I have an entire house to update, it seemed like a great time to revisit it. Atwood just does a fantastic job with this book. She gives you the science behind color and our perception of it, then moves into the more emotional aspect of it - somehow, she stays out of woo-woo land by encouraging readers to ground the way they feel about colors with ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) practical application. There is a section visiting homes of various people who work with color (as home decorators and the like), and even with the homes that I didn't like, Atwood still points out tips for incorporating the methods used. The final section talks about how to create your own color wheel and palettes for different spaces. Just like when I read it the first time, this book immediately had me looking at everything around me ⬇ 5h
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) differently, looking at undertones, connecting colors, the way textures can change color, etc. Even if you aren't getting ready to redecorate your house, I still high recommend this one as it goes beyond just slapping some paint on walls, with tips on making small changes (even things like putting a bowl of fruit on your table) to brighten spaces and tie things together. A perfect balance between science, feelings, and practical ⬇ 5h

DogMomIrene This book sounds fantastic! We‘re not ready to paint…yet…so may be the perfect read to start thinking about wall colors. Thanks! 5h
TheAromaofBooks @DogMomIrene - She has lots of ideas for testing colors using other items in your space, plus seeing how you feel about those colors at different times of day and different lighting. So I think it's a great book to read while you're still in the thinking stage!! 2h
AnnCrystal Does this talk about precisely which colors affect which mood (orange can encourage eating and conversation, green can calm you, blue can make you feel safe)? Or is it vague about direct emotional affects and more about how colors work together to appease the eye? 2h
Lcsmcat We‘ve been trying to decide what color to paint the dining room for YEARS. Sounds like I need to read this book. 😀 1h

This is my first #bookspin list in four years that hasn't been created entirely based on book committee responsibilities and I kind of didn't know what to do! Just....pick what I want to read? (Thankfully, I've overcommitted to various book clubs and professional commitments so it's still mostly assignment reading. 🤣 )
