It's Christmas in Holiday Bay, Maine. Abby Sullivan, the owner of a mansion turned into an inn, is busy checking in guests. Among them is a Santa with a secret, a social worker with an orphan in tow, a new widow, and a scrooge of a travel writer. Ho-Ho-Hmm, what could possibly go wrong?
Lauren Elliot is Steeped in Secrets in her new Crystals & CuriosiTEAS series. After a divorce, Shay Meyers is back in her hometown of Bray Harbor on California’s Monterey Peninsula. Shay is an empath and she’s inherited a tea and psychic shop full of Irish lore, Celtic symbols, and a dead body on the greenhouse roof.
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.
What do witches, ghosts, psychics, bibliomancy, and ghost dogs have in common? They’re in spooky reads to help you get ready for October. Plus, Amanda Flower has started a new series starring Emily Dickinson.
It’s too hot to go outside, so why not grab a book, ice tea, and a comfy place to read. Here are a few suggestions:
Laurien Berenson is starting a new Senior Sleuths series, an off-shoot of her Melanie Travis Canine mysteries.
In my part of California known as the Central Valley, triple-digit heat is the norm. Of course, we tell ourselves it’s a “dry heat.” Reading under cool shade with an icy drink and a good book is one way to beat the heat.
Relax in the sun with a glass of sweet tea (or something stronger) and enjoy these fun mysteries.
The start of summer is a great time to start a new series. Prolific Lynn Cahoon introduces us to The Tuesday Night Survivors Club, a book club for people who have fought or are fighting cancer.
This month I highlight the start of a new series by Kirsten Weiss, two throw-back series (one set in Victorian times, one in the 1980s), fudge, cupcakes and flowers. Enjoy!
April brings flowers and also new cozies to enjoy…although why spooky ones came out this time of year baffles me. But, here’s a chance to visit your favorite fictional bookstores.
