“I found bacon in my mystery novel,” somebody sang.
“A strip of cooked bacon,” Mr. Garland confirmed, opening the hardcover in his hands. “The person who checked this out last must have been using it as a bookmark.”
Can you imagine? 😱🤯🥓

I really liked this cozy mystery! I‘ll definitely read more in the series. It‘s great to see more diverse cozy mysteries being published in recent years.
Any other diverse cozy mysteries y‘all enjoy or have tried? I like Tita Rosie‘s Kitchen series
I‘m currently reading this romance, which I must confess I picked for the cover. Ingrid and her longtime boyfriend are taking a break, so she‘s dating other guys, while also having a massive crush on a co-worker. How it will all turn out, I have no idea, but I do ❤️ Edmond the cat. 😸
Tagging anyone who‘d like to play!

I laughed to find this at the end of the book, because I thought about When No One Is Watching several times while reading this, although it's far less terrifying.
A single mom with way too much on her plate--including the stress of being one of very few Black parents in her daughter's school--finds herself getting caught up in some very suspicious PTA drama. I liked the slice-of-life parts of the story, but Mavis go on my nerves a bit. (cont.)
so-soI may have liked this more if I read it instead of listening to it. The reader sounded too old for the FMC, and there was too much internal dialogue in the midst of conversations with others. Those things may not have bugged me if I read it. I do love the happy ending though!
