Hi! Rather then a finishing date, I'd enjoy at a glance "5/5" or how much you liked each. I own many of your choices (see the photo in my thread to see how long it takes me to read through my selection). Kate Carlisle, Erika Chase... I can't wait! :) Carolyn.

This particular book is the first in this series and I really liked it. Her job sounds like fun and I love the little town she islivingin. Hope you like it too
Every Trick in the Book Lucy ArlingtonI loved this book! It was even better than the first in the series. The fact that she reads for a living is fantastic and just when you think you know who "done it" comes the twist. Great book.

Cat's Claw Susan Wittig AlbertAlthough this book was a little different from the normal China books I liked it. Sheila is an interesting character. She has a good husband so I think she could lower her angst about her marriage, but she is ok. I domiss China though.

I'm very familiar with the Beatrix Potter "Cottage Tales" and have only to finish the last two; likely for your 'series' theme. :) I've also collected her historical fiction as 'Robin Paige', wholly to be read.On other notes, I have Lucy Arlington's first, as well as Avery Aames (entirely to be read) and Kate Carlisle. Kate's first grew on me halfway through and I LOVED her second, in Edinborough. I have the rest and look forward to them tremendously - all in good time.

A Broth of Betrayal Connie ArcherThe book was good and I like the story-line. The soup concept is a little more cozy with winter and the hot soup theme. Also the book dragged a little in the second half. All in all a good read
5/2/13
Threadbare Monica FerrisI really enjoyed this book--the blizzards, the train ride and of course the plot. The story-line kept you going to the end and with a little wrap-up it was over. No long endings. Very Good
Revenge of the Crafty Corpse Lois WinstonThis was a great book; a great story-line and unbelievable humor. Her incidental comments had me laughing out loud. A really good read.
5/5/13
The Wedding Shawl Sally GoldenbaumA very enjoyable read. The mystery portion was as always well written and the wedding shawl was brought in throughout. The wedding was done very well and very romantically.

Yvonne, what did you make of "A Killer Read"? I'm 82% done but dragging. It's a good story, cast, and my heart wants to support a Canadian. But Erika Chase used American terms (like "have got" instead of simply HAVE, or "colour" without a "U") and made her characters Americans of the deep south. And... nothing happening except a whole lot of daily errands.

A Fatal Fleece Sally GoldenbaumThe book was good, but a little slow. Not a lot of action and much ging to coffee, lunch etc. An Ok read
5/30/13
Going,Going,Ganache Jenn McKinlayThis book was really good. Fast moving and lots of humor. The characters we real and stayed in character. The cupcakes were an added bonus.
6/1/13
The Christie Curse Victoria AbbottThe Story-line and characters were good, but the at times it was slow-moving.
6/11/13
Murder by Mocha Cleo CoyleAN excellent book. Time in New York and time in the coffeehouse. A great combo.
6/15/13
Murder On The Half Shelf Lorna BarrettA very nice little mystery. Love that book store.
6/17/13
A Brew To Kill Cleo CoyleAgain an excellent book. I like the way Cleo keeps much of the story in the coffeehouse, and then takes us into various parts of the city for the action.
6/24/13
The Diva Frosts a Cupcake Krista DavisAnother Diva hit. The story line was good and kept going to the very end of the book. I love her times in her kitchen just making little meals and snacks. I would love some of these reciepes.
Looming Murder Carol Ann MartinIf this book is any indication this will be an excellent series. I know nothing about weaving but that did not interfere with my enjoyment of the book at all.
Thread and Buried Janet BolinAnother enjoyable cozy
7/2/13
Red Velvet Revenge Jenn McKinlayLove the girls with their cupcakes at a rodeo. As ever Angie is at her best.
7/5/13
Monument to the Dead Sheila ConnollyA very good story and an interesting insight into the world of museum trusts etc.
7/9/13
Mayhem at the Orient Express Kylie LoganI loved this book. New series with great characters and lots of humor. Love Bea and her witty comments. Action lasts to the end and even then you feel there are things to learn about Bea. Excellent.
