Having so much fun completing the Readathon tasks and reading my cozies. Heading out to grab some coffee for an energy boost. :)

Just a general question -- are all the winners for giveaways being announced at the end of the Readathon? I just want to make sure I didn't miss anything! :) Thanks!

How did you get the little thumnail pictures of the books in your post?

[Catherine]

I only know how to do the thumbnails on a regular computer. I'm not sure how to do it if you are on the app on your phone, or if it's even possible to do with the app. On a regular computer, there's a link above the comment box that says "add book/author".

[Stellans]

I am trying on my iPhone; don't see how to add thumbnail.

I don't know how to do it on an iPhone. On the computer you just click on add book/author then at the bottom of the screen that pops up is link or cover. Cover will put the picture and link will put a hyperlink to the book.

[Catherine]

Thanks!!

[Kristie]

I am 15% into Murder with Ganache by Lucy Burdette, one of the recently canceled series. I got a bit of a late start today.

[Barbara]

Been in and out several times this morning as I try to be a little productive around the house today. I am currently reading A Disguise to Die For by Diane Vallere for a book club. This is a series I have never read before.

[Catherine]

I'm not making much progress on my books ... spending too much time reading other people's posts and posting myself! I need to get going on the actual reading!! :)

Yep, thats why I've put myself on social media restriction today.
LOL I'm going to do the hourlies in batches.

[Catherine]

I spent like 20 minutes on that Hour 13 quiz!!! :)

[Melissa]

I'm currently reading Death Threads and the next cozy on my list to read is Geared for the Grave by Duffy Brown.

[Alyssa]

I've only been awake for an hour and 15 minutes so I'm a little behind on reading but I'm starting chapter 18 of murder buys a t-shirt

[Terri]

I have finished A Fright To The Death by Dawn Eastman and I just started Dire Threads by Janet Bolin! I am definitely finding new authors to add to my reading lists and I love the challenges!

[Julie]

Finished Die Buying .....starting Do or Diner!

Juli, I really enjoy the Comfort Food Mystery series! I have read Do or Diner and have the second book in the series ( A Second Helping of Murder ) sitting right by my desk, looking forward to starting it soon!

[Alyssa]

I am checking in for the hour I am on chapter 24 just finished with page 142 in a murder buys a t-shirt

[Stellans]

Finished Bun for Your Life, started Bakeshop series by Ellie Alexander. First up: Meet Your Baker

And I'll follow with #2-4, as company has now left I can pretty much read the rest of the day and evening. If I can stay off the internet, that is, lol.

[Terri]

I am sure at least one other person has done this besides me! I just recently updated my book of cozy mysteries and apparently didn't do a good job. I have just started reading Dire Threads by Janet Bolin and realized half way through the book I had already read this one! I am moving on to book four in this series Night Of the Living Thread! I apparently read the first three! I had to pull my old book out to make sure I wasn't making the same mistake!

[wonderwomand]

Currently reading Fat Cat At Large by Janet Cantrell.

On page 6 now.

Reading the book between the hourly challenges in readathon.

[Alyssa]

taking a little break for right now but I'm stopping at chapter 27 just finished reading page 178 believe it was murder buys a t-shirt

[Jackie]

I took a break to do the challenges, which were fun. I will be adding quite a few more books to my TBR list! Starting book 2 for today.

[wonderwomand]

Will there be more hourly challenges after hour 16?

[Patrizia]

Today I have not read a page because I was not in the mood, since I had to suppress my cat. I participated in some hour challenge. Thank you for what you have done to try to save our beloved cozy mysteries.

[Jackie]

I assume there will be one every hour.

[Anna Catharina]

Currently reading (page 169 of 325). I started this book this morning and it is a quick and entertaining read :)

My toughts are with you! :(

[Sheryl]

I am still reading Ms. Cooper's Terror in Taffeta and contemplating MC Beaton after that quiz. Up next on my reading list is either a Lavene book or the second in the Hampton's series....

Glad you are liking it! I want to read that series too as we have been to Bodie Lighthouse. I love reading cozies set in NC! :)

Patrizia, I am SO sorry for you during this time of sadness. My cats are my children and I know the heartache when you have to say goodbye. Your cat will always have a special place in your heart. I'm sure you loved it very much. Jackie

I'm so sorry about your cat. I'm sure he had a wonderful life with you.

[jaxnsmom]

I've had to run a lot of errands and haven't gotten much reading done, but I should be able to focus on Dead Roots now.

[Alyssa]

I need to read more! But I took a break and in this break time I was given a new book! Off Kilter This was a great birthday gift and I cannot to read it! BUT I need to finish eatting and reading my book Murder Buys a T-shirt for this Readathon! And the other Coy I am reading A Wedding to Die For

[Stellans]

Patrizia, I am so sorry for the loss of your cat. I still have several cat-shaped holes in my heart for mine.

I finished the first Bakeshop mystery, and on now to #2: A Batter of Life and Death.

[Brooke]

I am reading , and I'm around 15% on my Kindle. I'm also reading and I'm on page 54.

[Kristie]

I am 70% through Murder with Ganache by Lucy Burdette. Pretty sure I will be able to finish it tonight. I have really enjoyed it so far!

[Jill]

I'm moving right along with my book, don't think I'll get it finished tonight but I'm going to try

[Catherine]

I'm on page 50 of No Comfort for the Lost, on page 50 of The Long Quiche Goodbye and on page 94 of The Pickled Piper. I'm reading 3 other non-cozy books, but haven't read anything in those since the Readathon started last night.

I love the Cheese series! I hope you enjoy it too :)

[Sheryl]

Making a blueberry pie while reading. Anyone else baking and reading? I know Star was cooking earlier!

[Sheryl]

Does "The Long Quiche Goodbye" have quiche recipes? That sounds like a yummy read!

[Catherine]

Actually it does have recipes! One is a quiche recipe.

I do like it so far! I shouldn't have read this one and the pickle one at the same time, they are kind of similar and both have characters named Amy so I keep getting confused. Although pickles and cheese sound so good together :)

Oh gosh yes! I cannot read more than one Cozy at a time, most of the time, because I get lost! I am reading two right now and they are on different spectrum (not same *theme*) so that is easier.

I use to bake and read when I would read Joanne Fluke!!

[wonderwomand]

on page 70 of Fat Cat At Large

Since I could not access the vlogs, I used the hour to read the book instead.

Hope I can do the next hourly challenge.
