Happy Friday!
Today I'm once again participating in six blog hops. You can click on the host links below to find the blogs of others who are participating in each blog hop. If you're a blogger, feel free to join through the host links.
Question: Does the headline "Must-Read Books" grab your attention?
My response: Only if the article is focused on cozy mysteries. In that case, I will usually read the article, investigate books and authors on the list I'm not already familiar with, then decide if I want to read them. Even within the cozy mystery genre I have my preferences. For example, I tend to steer clear from the edgier ones. For example, if I find that there is a lot of swearing in them, I will likely not read them.
UPDATE: After originally publishing this post, I thought about another "must read" list that I might be drawn to. Sometimes I enjoy self-help books and I am drawn to those lists. I might not read all of the books on the list, but I would be interested in investigating them.
Today's excerpts are from the eARC format of Between a Roquefort and a Hard Place (Grilled Cheese Mystery 7), by Linda Reilly.
Carly Hale Mitchell’s gaze flitted all around the elegantly appointed parlor. She could easily imagine she’d been dropped into an episode of Downton Abbey.
And here's an excerpt from 56%:
She poked at random puzzle pieces with her bony finger, moving them around haphazardly. Failing to make any progress, she sat back and gave Carly a tired smile.
I love Downton Abbey, so the beginning immediately pulled me into the setting. Because of my love of jigsaw puzzles, I shared the excerpt from 56%. I'm happy to say the puzzle was part of the mystery! I have already read and reviewed this book. You can read my full review here. Spoiler alert: I loved it!
Here is Fiona enjoying a morning nap. I like to wrap myself in the Snuggie as much as she enjoys sleeping in it. Usually when I sit down to watch t.v. and have breakfast, she gets up and goes into the bedroom to finish her nap in peace. That means I get the Snuggie, and often Bell will come snuggle up in it with me. I often have Bell tucked under my right arm and my smoothie in the other hand.
This is a hawk I saw while playing with the goats and visiting a fairy forest at a local farm back in April on my birthday. It was magical. I had never been so close to a hawk before. What a sweet surprise!
