I just couldn't really get into Murder Most Festive for some reason, so I switched to The Candy Cane Cupcake Killer for my December seasonal cozy, and I'm enjoying it a lot more. 🎄🧁🎄

I really enjoyed reading this!

I bought this copy at an antique store. It was given to its recipient in 1966 according to the inscription inside, and it had this extra treasure in it: a copy of the Junior Deluxe Editions Preview of My Friend Flicka. I love when I find treasures in used books!

More #20in4 Readathon progress!
Finished reading Funny Story. I'm so happy to have to make another post with more goals for Day 2 tomorrow!
@Andrew65

Daphne and her fiancé Peter have the perfect life. Until Peter suddenly breaks up with her for his best friend Petra, and Daphne realizes she didn't have a perfect life after all. In a town she moved to for Peter, where she doesn't know anyone other than Peter's friends, the only person she has to lean on is Petra's ex-boyfriend Miles. She re-evaluates everything she thinks about friendship, family, and who she really is.
⬇️

#20in4 Readathon progress!
Finished reading The Lager Queen of Minnesota, now to finish reading Funny Story.
@Andrew65

I really enjoyed this book! I have a hard time finding audiobooks I like, but this is the 2nd one by J. Ryan Stradal that I've listened to and really liked.

Edith and Helen are sisters who have a falling out, and this is the story of how even though their lives diverged, they both ended up in the business of brewing beer.

The #20in4 Readathon is back! I have no real goal for Day 1 other than to read as much of these as I can in between decorating my house for Christmas and watching football. 🎄
Thanks for hosting @Andrew65, and its great to have you back on Litsy!

This was my least favorite in the series so far. Lady Georgiana goes to America with her mom, visiting New York, Nevada, and California. Chaos ensues, of course. I found the mystery on the ship more interesting than the mystery once they got to America, and wish the entire story had focused on the ship.

Mullaby is a town with secrets and regrets. It pushes people away and pulls them back. When Dulcie's daughter Emily arrives in Mullaby looking to understand where she came from, she tries to piece together the mysteries of the town.

Sarah Addison Allen is one of my favorite authors!

Juniper hosts a Thanksgiving dinner, and one of the guests is poisoned. After some investigation, it appears that Juniper might have been the target. Or was she?
