I am reading one of my favorite series

The House of the Unexpected Sister by Alexander McCall Smith

Love the warm friendly characters and setting of Botswana

Question???

Just about to finish  What's a Witch to Do by Jennifer Harlow. Yikes was it steamy!   I had thought it was a cozy now not so sure.  It has most all of the cozy eliminates, but includes a few occurrences of a four letter word and sex.  Anyone else read this one have an opinion whether to use as a cozy?  

It's been awhile, but from what I remember, I would categorize it more as a paranormal romance than a cozy.

But it's totally up to you how you want to count it for your own challenge(s).

I would consider it as a paranormal mystery

I just found some I bought a LONG time ago... librerty bells. I think they were less than thirty cents each. Just used some to mail some documents. Good investment!

Appreciate the opionions I have no idea why I have this series labeled as a cozy but I didn’t use it as one.  

I posted a few # 1 book of series today.   They're not wishlisted but may be something you havent read if you want to check them out.  Most of you have probably read them.

Following Alice's advice, I checked back to see if Madddie Day's Murder on Cape Cod is listed in the system.  Not only is the isbn now listed but a search reveals 1 available copy if anyone wants to grab it!

Just finished a first in series and new author cozy titled Death Overdue (Haunted Library, Bk 1):  Allison Brook.  I'm sending it on in a swap, but just wanted to let you know it is GOOD!  I gave it 4 1/2 stars.  The only reason I didn't give it a full 5 stars was the ending.  Once the culprit had been outed, the ending was very quick.  I thought it could have been drawn out just a bit.  I certainly hope I can land book two soon.

Finishing up the first book in Gail Oust series Bunco Babes; Whack N Roll.  Love it!    I have the other two books of the series so I'm going to read them to complete the series.   The series is listed in a swap right now but if not taken; going to offer a deal and try to mail them out together.

Just finished Murder at the Tea Party by Sonia Parin, a 1920s cozy mystery. This is the second in the series which I enjoyed.

Is playing Bunco on a regular basis a hobby?

WE play at church a few times a year

I am reading The Blood Spangled Banner by Barbara Sxhlichting. Set in Minnesota. Interesting premise. 1st ladies doll houses. I am enjoying the book although the main character Liv doen's do a lot for me. 

I'm at a lull in reading the Donut series by Jessica Beck.  I've read through book 18, Dangerous Dough and need the next ones 

Books 19 through 23, before I continue with the ones I have.   If anyone has any of these, please feel free to post them to me.

# 19   Troubled Treats

# 20   Sugar Coated Sins

# 21   Criminal Crumbs

# 22   Vanilla Vices

#23     Raspberry revenge

I'm currently reading Murder She Reported by Peg Cochran. I'm enjoying this historical cozy set in the 1930s featurning a young woman who is a "gal Friday" and photographer for a newspaper.  Very enjoyable.

Also finished Read and Gone (Haunted Library #2) by Allison Brook.  The MCs missing dad returns and is a suspect in a murder and gem heist. Pretty good.

I finished The Colors of All The Cattle by Alexander McCall Smith.  Always pleasant books makes me want to visit Botswana

I finished Once Hunted Twice Shy by Mandy M. Roth Fun series. I have the next two to read.

I read this 2nd book in this series  A Knit before Dying (Tangled Web, Bk 2) by Sadie Hartwell

I really enjoyed it and hope there will be more.  I searched a bit but didn’t come across any reference to a 3rd yet.  The book did end with the possibilites to seque into another story.  

I finally got around to getting back to the Posie Parker series on my Kindle.  Finished The Vanishing of Dr. Winter by L.B. Hathaway. A very enjoyable historical cozy.

Just finished Lowcountry Bordello (Liz Talbot, Bk 4) by Susan M. Boyer

Unusual subject for a cozy but fun all the same.  I had one problem with this book it seemed to repeat the same info to many times. Although it was to different people in the story, the repetitiveness slowed the book down and made it a bit boring at times.  

I just got done with Deadhead and Buried by H.Y. Hanna.  This is a new series which introduces us to a down on her luck MC who inherits a cottage and nursery from a grandmother she never knew. I enjoyed it.

Just finished Death Overdue (Haunted Library, Bk 1) by Allison Brook

Fast Fun read.  Hope to see more in this series.

I enjoyed that book too Janice

I'm catching up on books I have of Edith Maxwell's Local Foods mysteries:   I finished Farmed and Dangerous, Bk 3 this morning and then read all of Murder Most Fowl, Bk 4.  Now to read Bk 5, Mulch Ado About Murder.    I'm trying to knock out some cozies reading them one series at a time (what I have of that series).
