@Devann - You are awesome! (view spoiler)[ I'm so impressed you basically guessed it early on! I started to get an inkling of it halfway through (I was between Simon and Mr. Avery, because they kind of just let him go without any suspicion), but your "out there" guess was incredible! (hide spoiler)]

Wasn't sure where to post this, but all of the Coffeehouse Mystery books I've been reading and posting lately have the same main characters, so if looking to place them these letters can be used for any of them! (I wasn't sure if going back to edit past books from after the spells would be helpful/visible, but I can do that too if it's easier! I've read about 6 of them recently (and have more to go), so it will be enough for each of the letters eventually.

Characters: Claire Cosi, Mateo Allegro, Joy Allegro, Mike Quinn (C, M, A, Q)

Series Name: Coffeehouse Mystery (C, M)

Narrator: Rebecca Gibble (R, G) - usually narrators are allowed for books listened too, but I can't remember what this challenge allows

Summary of letters: R, G, J, C, M, A, Q,

Awesome! I'm totally game until 8/31!! It's been fun to have this span the summer months (at least in the US), as my reading is usually highest in June - August. :)

What has been the best book you have read during the challenge?
These are what I rated 5 stars, but I also loved getting into the cozy mystery genre and have really enjoyed all of those books I've read.


What has been the worst?
These were the least rated of my books, a lot get a 3-star rating, which for me means I enjoyed the book





And I also got Dumbledore for the quiz! So crazy that so many of us have gotten him.
