Happy pub day to @marykayandrews for Road Trip! I would love to have seen you at @quailridgebooks but I had a small conflict! 🏒🥅⛸️

May reading wrap up. 16 books (15 audio, 1 e-book). Disney vacation in the middle of the month, and a 29 hour audiobook kept totals down a bit, but overall a good reading month.

How did your month go?

Happy pub week @daniellepostelvinay for Murder Mos

Happy pub week @daniellepostelvinay for Murder Most Delicious! Many thanks to @harperperennial for my #gifted copy.
I loved this cozy mystery! There was such great descriptions of Paris (the city as well as the food, wine, perfume) that the mystery part was an added bonus. The characters were highly entertaining. I definitely recommend.

📖📖Synopsis 📖📖
Starting over in Paris was supposed to be the opportunity of a lifetime for American sommelier Olivia Beech—until her dream job ends in murder.

Once a rising star in the wine world, Olivia was one of a handful of women in the world to hold the distinction of being a Master Sommelier before COVID stole her sense of taste—and her career. Adrift and depressed, she gets a second chance when beloved celebrity chef Jacques de Bizet invites her to Paris for a job interview. But as the interview begins, he collapses, poisoned, making Olivia the prime suspect.

Olivia is in trouble, but she has an advantage: her extraordinary nose is still sharp enough to detect the subtlest of scents, including the poison that killed Jacques. Olivia knows she’s innocent, but how can she prove it?

Enter the Paris Neighborhood Watch, an eccentric circle of locals determined to protect their quartier. At the helm is the mysterious Augusta Dupin, a brilliant but agoraphobic detective, aided by her intuitive British shorthair cat, Chateaubriand. Olivia and Augusta join forces with a group of neighborhood amateur sleuths—a pâtissier, a café owner, a part-time librarian, a florist and a kind-hearted cop who may be falling for Olivia—to solve the crime, a search that helps them find not only the killer but fresh purpose in their lives.

Happy pub week to @bakerkline for The Foursome. Th $Happy pub week to @bakerkline for The Foursome. Thank you to @marinerbooks and @harpercollins for my #gifted copy. I’ve started this story and it’s fascinating so far! 📖📖Synopsis 📖📖 When Eng and Chang Bunker arrive in Wilkes County in 1839, they’re not just a curiosity—they’re a sensation. Everyone is eager to learn whether the salacious rumors about them are true. Within months, the twins have opened a general store, bought land, and begun building a plantation. Now, word has it, they’re looking for wives—and in a place that thrives on gossip and legacy, their ambitions set the community on edge. Sarah and Adelaide Yates, daughters of a once-prominent local family brought low by scandal, are drawn into their orbit. Bold, beautiful Adelaide sees in the twins’ fame a chance to reclaim her future. Sarah, quiet and observant, isn’t so sure. When the twins’ lives become entangled with theirs, they must navigate loyalty, longing, and identity in a world where everything—including race, class, and gender—is rigidly defined. Spanning five decades and unfolding against the backdrop of a fractured nation hurtling toward war, The Foursome is both intimate and epic: a story of love and constraint, identity and reinvention. #thefoursome #christinabakerkline #ondbookshelf #harpercollins$

Happy pub week to Summer State of Mind by @kristyw

Happy pub week to Summer State of Mind by @kristywharvey! Many thanks to @gallerybooks for my gifted copy. You can read my review of this latest story on the blog (link in bio). Kristy is one of the nicest authors you can meet (I’ve been following her since her debut novel Dear Carolina). I’m eagerly awaiting a new book in her Peachtree Bluff series coming this September 15!
