I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.

I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.

Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)

Thoughts on...Mind Over Murder by Allison Kingsley

A worthy entry in the cozy genre.

I went to the store with a list of three books on it, all cozies. This was not one of them but cozy? bookstore? Paranormal? I couldn't resist!

Just wanted to read a couple of chapters. Finished within 24 hours of purchase so yeah, I guess you could say I liked it. Lots of good guys, lots of bad guys, sometimes they were the same. Love the relationship between the cousins and am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Cousins and best friends, Clara and Stephanie Quinn run The Raven's Nest Bookstore, where people go to find their most coveted reads. But they have no idea it's the psychically-gifted Clara who's reading them...

The bookstore has made an enemy of the town crier, Ana Jordon, who claims that the store's occult collection is "poisoning" the town's youth. Meanwhile, the store's number-one employee, Molly, has made no secret of her anger over Ana's antics. So when Ana is found dead, killed by the bust of Edgar Allen Poe sculpted by Molly, the evidence is stacked against her. And Clara must rely on her gift to make sense of this senseless murder...
