Little Pixie

Aww, I loved the Mallory Towers books.

Eek ! And a big aww at the shelfawareness clicky.

I`m also adding my kudos to your new reviewer style ; it`s really nice to read it on a PC monitor, it really pops.

Hee, I`m currently reading Cinnamon roll murder. Oh, my Marie Kondo book arrived ; I`ve picked it up to have a quick glance through the first few pages. That`s progress, right ?

It`s all rather blurring into one book now. I do sometimes break up my book reading with newspapers and magazines, so my brain has something different to focus on.

Thanks ; I think it helps that I`m reading a series in order, so there`s been no time wastage in wondering what to read next.

Nice book covers ; hope they`re an enjoyable read.

Oh dear. Hope it doesn`t escalate.

Thank you !

I loved The Shadow of the Wind . Happy reading in 2015 !

<< Butts in >> And there`s a standalone to come this June - Early Riser. Me excited. Hope you have a good reading year, Frankie.

#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. 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 ). 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

Thanks Steve. Don`t joke ; 2015 is entirely possible. It`s `only ` 700+ at present. Xiao-Xiao the cat waves a languid paw in your Pixie`s direction.

Thanks Kylie. You too.

Thank you. And ditto.

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

Ancient Light sounds rather good. Must resist.

Just had a quick look at that popular book ; it looks really fun and sweet, I`ve put it in my ` order at some point ` pile. Thanks for the heads-up, I`m looking to read more auto-biographical stuff this year.

Great pics ! Happy reading in 2015.

Sounds like you`ve had some good reads already this year.

Bah, that`ll teach `em ! If only I can be so brave. I`ve found myself more interested in storywriters than authors lately ; I`d rather read a book by someone who can actually tell a story than someone with lots of prizes who just doesn`t make me happy. Hope you have a good 2015 reading year.

Hmm, for some reason, the cat says no. Something about not wanting to get her paws wet.

Ooh, ooh, does it come with a Bridge ?

Still. that`s better than being `strategically shelved`.
