Just finished
-started out not caring for it at all and finished really liking Jayne & ready to start another in the series! I'm grateful she was this month's feature.

Just finished
. I really enjoyed it! Emily, the protagonist had a Stephanie Plum-esque vibe to her and I couldn't get enough of the members of the tour group! I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series!
I've just finished Diane Mott Davidson's Chopping Spree, the 11th in her Goldy Culinary series. This is a great series, the main characters are easy to relate to, and the plots are well-fleshed out and researched. The recipes sound so yummy, too!

I just finishedGrace Under Pressure.This was the second book by Julie Hyzy that I have read, but the first in this series. I liked that he took her time to introduce u to the characters, there is a budding possible romance, but it wasn't rushed into and the characters are more real-life.
I reviewed it on my bookshelf, but don't know how to link that here. Sorry. I'm still learning my way around, have been on Goodread for awhile, but just yesterday joined my first group.

I've also become a real Levine fan-thanks to this wonderful site! I have to add
to my list.
Just finished up
. I really enjoy this character and these books - it's a shame there aren't more of them.
Finished
. As others have mentioned, I didn't care for the book at all until about half way through. By the time I finished it, I found that I liked it. I guess Jayne grew on me or the writing really improved. I'll read more in the series.
Finshed A Killer Plot first in a new series. This author also rights under JB Stanley. Enjoyed this book, I liked that the main character was a bit prickly, and was a well off business woman, whining about money by business owners in some cozies gets a bit old.

Nola wrote: "Just finished

I finished
last night. Except for her excessive ADHD comments I enjoyed the book. I will definately read the next one.
Erin wrote: "I finished
earlier this week and I really liked it."I love this series! One of my favorites. I've only been disappointed with one of them.
Ok, Melodie, I can't stand it: which one were you disappointed with? (I have to try this series, btw, with such raves!)

, which is the 4th one, is the only one I didn't care for much. The others have been 4 & 5 stars for me. My favorite is the 3rd one
. It has a "Jim Morrison-esque" ghost!
Well, I sat down and finished
today. This is the 6th book in the Scrapbooking series, and since I scrapbook I find that I enjoy them. I can picture the techniques that they talk about, and have even tried some in my on book later.
I finished Stay Tuned for Murder. I gave it three stars as it held my interest well in the beginning, but then just seemed to drag out the time capsule theme.

I've got the first 2 in this series both on the way to me after seeing some good things about them here.

this morning. I love to scrapbook, too, but haven't tried any of the ideas in the books (I always want to though! LOL)

Murder in Miniature
Margaret Grace
I read this book recently and can't wait to read the next book in the series.
The dollhouse/miniatures theme was fun and the author does character development really well.
I finished
by Penny Warner last night. While I enjoyed the mystery of the book, I was really put off by the excessive foul language. For those that have read more of the series, is this the case in the entire series?

For those that..."I've read all the ones that are available right now, but must say that I don't remember any excessive cussing. However that doesn't bother me anyway, so guess I'm not a good source. I probably wouldn't consider it excessive unless there was an "F-bomb" in every other paragraph!
just finished
and
... I read Buried Stuff in two marathon sittings; I couldn't put it down! And I'm glad Carmela has finally (I hope) gotten her feelings about her husband sorted out-- looking forward to the next ones in both series!
For those of you who didn't enjoy
, you might want to check out her Connor Westphal series. I thought that was excellent!I just finished re-reading a couple of books I've saved including
. I really like the Dae O'Donnell series.
Just finished
, which I think is the first in this particular series. Loved it, absolutely did not guess the killer. The ending took me completely by surprise ~
Linda wrote: "Just finished

I finished
this morning. It was one of my favorites so far but I am looking forward to getting back to Pecan Springs for the next one!
Leslie wrote: "I finished

I just finished reading
. It features Dorothy Parker in the 1920's NY. I enjoyed it. I know there is another Dorothy Parker mystery series out there. Anybody read both?
I just finished reading The Quiche of Death yesterday. I thought Agatha was pretty un-likable at the beginning, but I actually really like her character for some reason. I think I can identify with her, about how difficult it can be to make friends, especially when she totally up-rooted her life and moved from London to a small town, where it seems that everybody knows everybody already. I've already got #2 in the series! (I could totally see her as a character in a BBC television production shown on PBS, too!)The book title is pretty corny, though... if I hadn't read about this series here, I probably wouldn't have chosen it. Actually, I'm getting a LOT of good book recommendations from this group! It's great-- makes my trips in and out of the library a lot quicker!
