pickAn enjoyable cosy mystery set in a beautiful part of the world, although I do say so myself being a Yorkshire lass! The descriptions of the countryside are vivid and give a good sense of place. I like the cast of eclectic characters. The murder mystery itself held my attention and I thought I‘d guessed the culprit but how wrong I was! The plot is well put together and it made me chuckle in a few places. A series to continue!
pickWell this one didn‘t end up where I expected! I enjoyed it, though the main character‘s casual pettiness and 1950s prejudices were annoying, even in a period mystery. I don‘t have much patience for it. I really enjoyed the audiobook narrator and loved my #immersionreading of print + audio. (And no, it‘s not really a holiday book 🤨)
The first in the Dales Detective series. I‘m reading this with my local book group.
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…

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.
