Books Can Be Deceiving- My Bookish Thoughts #1


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!

  2. i 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.

  6. Glad 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.

    Happy reading!

  11. Eww, 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.
