Sustenance at #MellowMushroom with raspberry beer and new #holidaymystery
pickAn enjoyable cosy mystery with plenty of suspects to keep the reader engaged. A mystery set Yorkshire was the theme for my local reading group‘s choice this month and this is the one which was chosen! There are some interesting historic facts included in the story at certain points which added to my enjoyment. It‘s an easy read with a satisfying conclusion, although I found the dialogue a little stilted at times. 3.5⭐️
I‘m reading this one with my local book group. The theme is a mystery set in Yorkshire. It‘s the tenth book in a series. I haven‘t read the previous nine books. I do hate reading out of order! Why couldn‘t they pick the first book, Body in the Dales!?😬😬😄. Oh, well…
#HaikuADay #HaikuHive
Today‘s haiku is inspired by taking time from errands & crowds (Ack, people!! 😱) to sip on a holiday latte & read a little at the Barnes & Noble Cafe. The tagged book is the $5 December special. I think it will be fun to read next month. (Yes, may have purchased a couple of magazines & a blanket too…)🤷🏻♀️

Yesterday, I went to @barnesandnoble. The Christmas things are out and I picked up this ornament and tree topper. Since my move and having a very small apartment, my Christmas things will stay with my sons so this will be my Christmas tree this year.
I also picked up the five dollar cafe book.
pickBrilliant last novel in the DCI Banks series.Of course there is the requisite music,food,wines,&craft beer.Two intriguing storylines:2019-after archeologists uncover a modern skeleton with evidence of a murder,Banks is tasked with uncovering the skeletons identity.1980s- Nick Hartley is devastated by the murder of his ex-girlfriend.His story ends up being somehow intertwined with the later murder.Police corruption is involved.#10BeforetheEnd
Poe is home! He went downstairs on his own four paws this morning; We did not have to carry him. He finally ate & drank lots this morning. His meds seem to be helping. We hear some of his text results later today. Thank you all so much for your outpouring of support & love. Poe thanks you too. #catsoflitsy
I am having my coffee with him on my lap while reading. #10BeforetheEnd

I am enjoying a well deserved glass of Chardonnay while I await a Chinese food delivery.We almost lost Poe today- his breathing was labored, he was lethargic,not eating.At first one doctor suggested putting him down but my husband asked for fluid testing,bloodwork etc.they did all that & aspired fluid from his chest- it was clear.We have him back home while waiting test results.He is on lasix.🙏🏻
pickReissue from Poisoned Pen Press Out in October - new, fun mystery that‘s a bit like a cross between The Secret Adversary and Albert Campion. https://itsallaboutthebook.org/2025/09/03/murder-at-holly-house-by-denzil-meyric...
