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!)

Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week.

Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.  ;-)

Don't forget to link up your list

Trick or Deceit by Shelley Freydont
Celebration Bay Mystery, Sep 2015, mass market paperback

This October in Celebration Bay, you can't swing a black cat without hitting a haunted house. Thee are three finalists in the contest for the town's official haunted house, and ten thousand dollars will go to the winner, with the rest of the proceeds funding a new community center. Event coordinator Liv Montgomery has invited her friend Jonathon Preston, the debonair director of development for a philanthropic organization, to visit town, hoping he will also award a grant to the center.

After the Museum of Yankee Horrors wins first place, the transformed Victorian boardinghouse is vandalized. Among scattered mannequins of Hester Prynne, Lizzie Borden, and the Headless Horseman, a real dead body is found--one of the contest judges. Now in addition to playing host to Jon, Liv has to play detective and coordinate the clues to unmask a self-appointed judge, jury, and executioner. . .
