Caroline, how did you like the pizza book? That's a series I thought about starting and would like your opinion. Thanks!

Erin L (wellreadmoose) | 505 comments I have Smokin' Seventeen (Stephanie Plum, #17) by Janet Evanovich waiting for me at the library so I suppose that's next up for me.

Shannon (glitco) | 11 comments I'm deciding between Buttercream Bump Off or Two for the Dough. Thoughts?!

Tough choice. I think I'd go with Buttercream.

Just to make your decision harder: I'd pick Two for the Dough. That's the book that really got me hooked on the Plum series.
That said, both books are really good and entertaining, so you can't really go wrong.

Erin L (wellreadmoose) | 505 comments I'd go with Two for the Dough. I wasn't a huge fan of Buttercream Bump-off even though I really liked the first in that series.

I have the first 2 on my list. Don't like the Coffee Shop books.

Karendenice Kaye. read Cleo Coyle's book first.I love her Coffeehouse Mysteries!! I'm in the middle of Espresso Shot (Coffeehouse Mystery, #7) by Cleo Coyle right noe. I think I have read about 5 of her books so far and have really enjoyed everyone. I'm going to try to go to the library soon and get some more of her books.

I'm also reading Murder on Lexington Avenue (Gaslight Series #12) by Victoria Thompson and this book which is not a cozy. The Bookseller of Kabul by Åsne Seierstad

I loved that series of Donna Ball's! Hated to see it end!


message 516: by Ellen (new)

Ellen (elliearcher) So many books! but I've read the openings of the following & am trying decide which one to finish first (they all start well): Murder 101 (Murder 101, #1) by Maggie Barbieri Murder on a Girls' Night Out (Southern Sisters Mystery, #1) by Anne George Agatha Raisin and the Walkers of Dembley (Agatha Raisin, #4) by M.C. Beaton

I wish I didn't have to choose! But Agatha Raisin and the Walkers of Dembley (Agatha Raisin, #4) by M.C. Beaton is due back at the library tomorrow so I'll probably try to read it tonight (while watching the 6th Harry Potter-my daughter & I are doing a rewatch of the series in preparation for seeing the final one-*sniffle*-Saturday.

message 519: by Caroline (new)

Caroline | 661 comments After the few I'm currently working on, I have Foul Play at the PTA (Beth Kennedy Mystery, #2) by Laura Alden to read and a couple more I guess I'm going to have to order from Amazon since I can't seem to find them at B&N or Borders around here.

I just started reading this also. Had a little trouble getting into it during the first two or three chapters, but it's starting to get more interesting.

Ellie,
I saw Deathly Hallows Part 2 this morning. It was awesome! I did sniffle in a few places though.

My nieces and nephew were all planning to catch the midnight show last night. Don't know if they did. I read the first 4 books and then quit reading them when she started writing "doorstops"! Saw the first 2 movies and parts of the one Rob Pattinson was in, don't know which one that was.


message 525: by Ellen (new)

Ellen (elliearcher) Donna-that's great to hear! I'm so excited I can't stand it!

Donna: I imagine I'll be sniffly in a few spots as well, when I finally get to it, hopefully next weekend or the week after. I imagien this one will be in theaters a while. I saw on tonight's news that it set opening day records. No surprise there, right?

Melodie: I was a bit daunted by the size of the last three books, too, but they read unbelievably fast. I read each one in only 2-3 days.

With one of the last 2 my niece was at the bookstore for the midnight release of the book. She went straight home and didn't go to bed until she finished it! I guess that's dedication!

Well, there have been a few experiences in my past... *G* I do hope it's as good as it sounds.


message 532: by Erin L (new)

Erin L (wellreadmoose) | 505 comments Sinister Sprinkles (Donut Shop Mystery #3) by Jessica Beck is probably next. Either that or Something Rotten (Thursday Next Series #4) by Jasper Fforde or Angel's Verdict (Beaufort & Company Mystery, #4) by Mary Stanton

Yep. Since Borders is closing and Barnes and Noble has gone more e-books, I'm going to have to start pre-ordering on Amazon. I just hate that because I'm anal about my bank account and sometimes you don't know when the debit will hit your account (whenever they mail them).

I took care of that. I buy Amazon gift cards at the grocery store, my grocery gives extra points on gift cards for gas discounts, and use them for all my Amazon purchases. That way I don't need to worry about when it might hit my debit or credit card.

Sue (suetinge) | 622 comments I think my next cozy will be The Bordeaux Betrayal (Wine Country Mysteries #3) by Ellen Crosby

Melodie, I'd love to hear what you think about the Louise Penny book so far. I've been thinking of reading her Armand Gamache series.

I really enjoyed The Cruelest Month A Three Pines Mystery (Three Pines Mysteries) by Louise Penny . I'm a bit behind on the 3 Pines series and need to get caught up. The setting is great and Gamache is a terrific character as are the other residents of the village. The stories are always first rate in this top notch series.


message 541: by Karin (new)

Karin Kaufman | 20 comments Thanks, Melodie. I've heard Gamache is a great character and the setting is wonderful--the two things I look for most in a mystery series. I guess I have some more books to add to my TBR pile!


message 542: by Erin L (new)

Erin L (wellreadmoose) | 505 comments I'm also a fan of the Gamache series. I want to recommend them to everyone I know - even if they don't read mysteries. LOL


message 543: by Caroline (new)

Caroline | 661 comments Thanks for the suggestions about online places to buy books. Good idea about gift cards, Melodie! There are several places that give me points and I should check them to see if I can get Amazon gift cards - that would be terrific!

I love the Three Pines series (Louise Penny's Armand Gamache books). I've been lucky enough to meet Louise and her husband and they're such terrific people - I'm really glad for her success.

Just finished a couple books I was reading and now will go back to Skirting the Grave (A Vintage Magic Mystery, #4) by Annette Blair which I had started but didn't want to end too quickly so postponed reading through it right away. LOL Then I'll go to One Dog Night (Andy Carpenter Series, #9) by David Rosenfelt . I enjoy the Andy Carpenter series (and I love dogs).


message 544: by alicia (new)

alicia grant (shesha556) I think I will read Devil's Food Cake Murder (Hannah Swensen, #14) by Joanne Fluke
