pontalba Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Oh, gosh! I bought the Marie Kondo book a couple of weeks ago.............ya think it'll help?? Quote
Athena Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Have fun with your new books !! 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 . Quote
Little Pixie Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 Happy Reading this year Thanks Julie ! Quote
Little Pixie Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 Oh, gosh! I bought the Marie Kondo book a couple of weeks ago.............ya think it'll help?? Let`s hope so. 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 ? Quote

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... ) Quote

Little Pixie Posted January 10, 2015 Author Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) #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 Edited January 10, 2015 by Little Pixie Quote
