Finished it, and read the sneak peek of the next book, and yup, it‘s definitely quit-the-series time. Lazy plot-manipulation, plummeting characterization, and one of my least-favorite ways to resolve a ~love triangle~. It‘s kind of a shame, because this was a really enjoyable series in the beginning, but now? Byeeeeee. ✌🏻 #booktownmysteries #handbookforhomicide #lornabarrett

Handbook for Homicide | Lorna Barrett

Once I finish this, I‘m 99% sure I won‘t continue with the series. Tricia is a judgy bitch, and her obsession with food and gaining weight is obnoxious. Not to mention, the writing is just getting bad. Although I love Mr. Everett so much, there‘s not enough of him to make this worth it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #booktownmysteries #lornabarrett #cozymystery #handbookforhomicide

Fortifiedbybooks I struggled with this book as well, but managed to get through it and find out the reason behind Tricia's obsession with food, weight, and being judgmental. The next book, A Deadly Deletion was better, but Clause of Death was the last straw for me. I barely got through it. It's a shame, too, because this was the series that got me into Cozy Mysteries. 2d

actualdisneyprincess @Fortifiedbybooks I‘m pretty sure her obsession with food was explained in a previous book, and I thought I remembered her acknowledging it and beginning to heal from it; the characterization here seems to ignore that completely and just reverts to her worst self. I feel your disappointment, though! This was one of my favorite series until now. 🫠 2d

Fortifiedbybooks I do remember the issue coming up previously, but I feel like this book went into more detail about it, possibly for the sake of bringing social issues into the series. That was the main reason (besides the bad writing) I finally bailed. I don't want to read about social issues in my Cozy Mysteries. I want to escape from the social issues/reality LOL To me, that's the whole point of Cozies. 2d

actualdisneyprincess @Fortifiedbybooks right???? There‘s a way to touch on them without making them feel like Very Special Episodes of 80s/90s television, or holier-than-thou, savior complexes, and unfortunately…this doesn‘t do it. 🙃 2d

Generally enjoyable but I had a hard time distinguishing the voices - Harry and Martha were hard to keep straight.

How to Find Love in a Bookshop | Veronica Henry

so-so

It was cute, but I felt like it had to many characters to follow in the book. I got confused several times about who was who. I rated the book a 2 out of 5 stars.

This was a fun read. It was such a good read for book nerds, who dream of being part of a fairy tale. It had such a fun and cozy vibe to it. I highly recommend it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Lost Bookshop | Evie Woods

A quite enjoyable book about characters finding themselves after horrible situations and a search for the lost bookshop. It was a good mix of magical realism with some historical fiction blended in. I do think the characters were a bit surface level and I feel like more could have been done with the magical portion of the plot but it was a good escape from the world at this current time.

Jess861 Had no idea it was set in Ireland when I decided to read this book this month #FoodAndLit @Texreader @Catsandbooks 2w

Texreader Well I have to read it now!! 2w

Jess861 @Texreader I should say the majority is in Ireland - there are a few chapters scattered in other countries. 2w
