What it's about:
Lindsey is getting into her groove as the director of the Briar Creek Public Library when a New York editor visits town, creating quite a buzz. Lindsey's friend Beth wants to sell the editor her children's book, but Beth's boyfriend, a famous author, gets in the way. When they go to confront him, he's found murdered-and Beth is the prime suspect.
Why I wanted to read it: Found it while browsing the new book section in the library. I work in a library...this centers around Lindsey who works in a library...the LIBRARY is why I wanted to read it!!
Source: My public library...I love them!
- I loved the setting...what a quaint town that is totally screaming my name and by the water. Bliss!
- This sounds like a library I would love to work at and also be a patron!!
- I loved how the characters were reading books that I've read or want to read.
- The mystery was fairly easy to solve but that didn't bother me one bit. I thought it was so much fun that I can't wait for the next one!!
- There are so many cozy series out there and I feel like I'll never get caught up but this is book one and I loved it so I'm planning on becoming wrapped up in this one.
- Who wouldn't love to read a book that helps to add the ones already out-of-control TBR pile??!!
- Enjoyable way to spend an afternoon...highly recommend for those that love cozies!
Bookish Thoughts #1
I want to read this one too. Your thoughts make me anticipate it even more. This author writes the cupcake bakery cozies that I enjoy so much as well.
ReplyDeletei often like to be able to sit down on a Sunday afternoon and read a complete book uninterrupted. Cozies make this easier to do, and I do love the sound of this one. Thanks for blogging about it.
ReplyDeleteMy TBR pile is way past out-of-control but you've convinced me I need to read this. *sigh* ;)
ReplyDeleteI do want to try a cozy m one day and this one sounds lovely :) yay for libraries
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a fun read!!! :):):):):):):):):):):)
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed this one so much. I'd love to be a patron at this library. You're right about the mystery easy to solve but still the characters and setting made up for it. Jenn McKinlay is one of my favorite cozy writers. If you liked her writing, you might try her cupcake series.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
A library cozy, hmmm, I just may give this one a try. :)
ReplyDeleteFirst off I love this cover! I love the setting being a library too! It is one of my favorite places to go! I really want to read this after reading your thoughts on it! I love the new format for your reviews.
ReplyDeleteI love cozies that feature libraries. I have to look for this one! Thanks for letting us know about it!
ReplyDeleteA library loves certainly describes me!
ReplyDeleteEww, I really want to read this one. Love-love the setting (and how lucky are you-working in a library) I always love finding a new cozy series and one in a library, where characters are reading. I'm always amazed more characters in books don't read. Thanks for letting us know about this one.
ReplyDeleteLoved reading your bookish thoughts on this book. It was easy to read in point format and gave me a good indication if I wanted to read this book or not.
ReplyDeleteI've only read one cozy and wasn't impressed, but the whole library thing makes me think twice about this one. Glad you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this one too. Glad you liked it!
ReplyDeleteThis does sound like fun. I work in a library, too, so that part would be fun. So glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteThat does sound like a lot of fun! The library is the perfect setting for a cozy mystery.
ReplyDeleteI love that the author mentioned real authors and titles! Very cool! And I love a setting that makes you never want to leave...
ReplyDeleteThanks for your review. This one looks good!
As a book lover, the title got my attention. :)
ReplyDeleteGood review. Definitely piques the interest.
How much fun to have a murder mystery with a library setting and good books!
ReplyDeleteI need to spend more time with cozies. This one sounds like a delight!
ReplyDeleteI do like a cozy, and I have a friend who adores them. So, I will send her in the direction of your review and then....to the library! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a cozy little mystery about books and libraries...I'd probably enjoy this one.
ReplyDeleteThere are sooooo many cozy series out there, that I never know which ones I should read. I may have to look into this one a bit more.
ReplyDeleteI have the first of this series on my wish list. I love libraries too, and now Gage and I are going all the time to many different ones for storytimes. Hope I can pass that love down to him :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd found this book in my stocking! Cozy mystery, small town, library, books, editors/writers . . . this hits all the right keys for me!
ReplyDeleteI saw another review of this just recently but I can't remember where - maybe Kaye's. I thought it sounded great then and still do plus I really love that cover.
ReplyDeleteI've had this one on radar and I've been wanting to read it...sounds like I should definitely pick it up.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds like the perfect choice for a break between reading what I've committed to read and reading what I want to read. Nice review. And now I've added it to my list...
ReplyDeleteA mystery about a library and books I've read - sounds great. I'm off to check my own library to see if they have a copy. By the way, I like the new style of telling us about your book.
ReplyDeleteI love discovering books on the shelves at the library. This cover is adorable and story sounds sweet too. Glad you enjoyed it.
