We start the new year with another fun group of mysteries-Snow Place for Murder: A Mountain Lodge Mystery by Diane Kelly, Caught on the Book: An Antique Bookshop Mystery by Laura Gail Black, Forgotten Trail by Claire Kells, and Last Night at the Hollywood Canteen by Sarah James.
Fall is here with the cooler temps and colorful foliage. With October around the corner so are these new releases.
After watching the increasingly popular Bootlegging Brothers perform at the Hamilton County Bluegrass Festival, Hattie Hayes gets the brilliant idea to have the bluegrass band record a commercial jingle promoting her family’s Moonshine Shack. After minimal haggling over the fee, the three brothers agree to $1000 which still has Brody Sheridan grumbling over the details.
Whitney and Buck Whittaker’s new house-flipping project is still technically a house, but this will be the first time the cousins are attempting to rehab a worn-down houseboat floating in a Nashville, Tennessee, river. While this has Whitney researching and Youtubing videos on the proper paints and sealants required to keep The Skinny Dipper from leaking water, it’s their neighbor in the slip next to them who proves to be the bigger challenge.
It's that time of year again, a time to look back at the books we reviewed here at KRL over the past year and share with you some of our favorites! We reviewed a LOT of books here on KRL and KRL News and Reviews. All but one of our main reviewers shares in this post their top 5-10ish favorite books they reviewed in 2022. Katherine Costa wanted to include favorite authors and TV shows that she has reviewed, so hers went up in a separate post over on KRL News and Reviews this week-you can find it here!
Candy? Flowers? Dinner out? No, a reader just wants more books! Take a romantic walk through B&N or a give her a Valentine with a generous gift card inside.
Autumn is setting in at Beech Mountain, North Carolina, and the Mountaintop Lodge is fully booked for the tourist, leaf-watching season. Owner Misty Murphy is expecting a rather unique group of guests, as the all-women Dangerous Curves Motorcycle Club has reserved all of the rooms while they tour through the mountains and enjoy the lodge’s fire pits and nearby Greasy Griddle Diner.
Books are better than candy. Take a book bag door to door and trade books with neighbors. Here’s some cozies coming out this month and Christmas books for early shoppers.
This week we are once again playing catch up with some more fun mysteries for your summer reading-The Proof is in the Poison: A Southern Homebrew Mystery by Diane Kelly, The Shadow of Memory: A Kate Hamilton Mystery by Connie Berry, Murder She Wrote, Killer on the Court by Jessica Fletcher and Terrie Farley Moran, and Murder with Darjeeling Tea: A Daisy’s Tea Garden Mystery by Karen Rose Smith.
Whitney and her cousin Buck have flipped houses before, but this new project, a church and a parsonage, is bigger and riskier. With the beautiful stained glass windows and perfect acoustics, it could be a gold mine. Of course, when they walk into the church and find a horse who’d made himself at home, they’re sure this isn’t going to be like their other flips.
