The most important thing I have to share this week is the link to The Poisoned Pen’s YouTube post featuring Tim Sullivan, author of the DS George Grace mysteries, including the new one The Tailor. He was so good! If you’re a fan, you might want to watch the interview, https://tinyurl.com/2f9b8vef.
Other than that, I spent the last couple days finishing two books, and mourning the loss of Dolly Parton. She was a national treasure, and a good person. She’s still the hottest topic on Facebook and Threads. The BBC did a four hour story on her that I didn’t see. But, we’re going to miss her. No matter what your politics, Dolly Parton represented the best of this country, better than the rest of us.

So, I have tomorrow’s review all ready. I finished Book Club Boyfriend, and moved on to Laurie Gilmore’s second Dream Harbor romance. It’s so hard to type the title, The Cinnamon Bun Book Store because I want to type “Cinnabon”. The first book, The Pumpkin Spice Cafe, was spicer than I expected. Very good! But, one involving the local bookstore? I’m in.
When a secret message turns up hidden in a book in the Cinnamon Bun Bookstore, Hazel can’t understand it. As more secret codes appear between the pages, she decides to follow the trail of clues… she just needs someone to help her out.
Gorgeous and outgoing fisherman, Noah, is always up for an adventure. And a scavenger hunt sounds like a lot of fun. Even better that the cute bookseller he’s been crushing on for months is the one who wants his help!
Hazel didn’t go looking for romance, but as the treasure hunt leads her and Noah around Dream Harbor, their undeniable chemistry might be just as hot as the fresh-out-of-the-oven cinnamon buns the bookstore sells…
What about you? Has the weather affected you this week? What have you been doing? And, what are you reading?
