Oh, gosh!  I bought the Marie Kondo book a couple of weeks ago.............ya think it'll help??  :readingtwo:  :hide:  :angel_not:  :cat:

 

Let`s hope so.  :giggle:

 

It was out of stock yesterday when I ordered it, so I`m thinking that plenty of people had the same thought; when I went through my  newspaper clutter pile at the end of 2014, I found a couple of articles I`d ripped out about her, and it still sounded good, so I went ahead and ordered. 

 

Have you got your mitts on the book yet ?  :smile:

Have fun with your new books :D!!

 

I did buy a few today myself (list will follow later) including one Gijpstra & de Gier but I only spent 6 euros so it's not too bad :).

 

Bargains ! Enjoy your new books too !  :D

 

I was especially pleased to find the Hildegarde Withers book ( it`s listed as ` acceptable` condition for around £8, but it`s been out of print for so long, I`m just happy to find a copy - plus, the Kindle version would be around £7 anyway, and I have the rest of the series as proper books... )

Thank you * ! Just waiting for the bulk of the books to arrive now ; a couple have already been added to the dining-room TBR.  :D

Happy reading, cat person!  :smile:

 

Is 2015 the number of books on your TBR pile(s)?  :o  :giggle2:

 

Thanks Steve.  :D

 

Don`t joke ; 2015 is entirely possible.  :giggle2:  It`s `only ` 700+ at present.  :hide:

#1  Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder - Joanne Fluke

 

The first in the Hannnah Swensen mystery series . Hannah owns a cookie shop in Lake Eden, Minnesota ( population 4,000 and decreasing with every book  ;)  ). When she stumbles across a body, she decides to investigate the murder, even though her Mother feels it`s unladylike and will put off eligible bachelors. Hannah and her sister Andrea start snooping and find that investigating a murder brings them closer together - aww.  :giggle2: There`s a lovely sense of small town life and you can feel how cold it is ( Hannah has to plug her Cookie Truck into electrical outlets beside the road to stop her truck from freezing  :blink:  ). There are some nice bits with Hannah`s cat Moishe, who has his own minor storylines in the books. It`s a fun, cosy read. 

 

Since I`m doing a Hannah Swensen re-read, and the books are so similar ( they`re formulaic but it`s a good formula  ;) ) , I`m just doing a review for the first one. 

 

#2   Strawberry Shortcake Murder

#3   Blueberry Muffin Murder

#4   Lemon Meringue Pie Murder 

#5   Fudge Cupcake Murder

#6   Sugar cookie Murder

#7   Peach Cobbler Murder 

#8   Cherry Cheesecake Murder

#9   Sugar and Spice / candy cane Murder ( novellas )

#10   Key lime Pie Murder

#11   Carrot cake murder

If only Pixie would be languid!  She's too busy at the moment stressing about next door's new kitten, yowling and hissing at her through the front window :rolleyes:
