Weekend Book Reviews

 A Room with a Roux by Sarah Fox is the seventh book in the Pancake House Mystery series.  Marley and her husband Brett get a quick getaway to nearby Holly Lodge.  It seems to be the perfect break until they stumble upon a body buried in the snow.  Books that venture away from the normal setting can be problematic.  This is not my favorite in the series for that reason.  I did find it to be a nice light read with an enjoyable mystery.  I will be back for book number eight!

The fourth book in the Abby McCree Mystery series by Alexis Morgan is Death by Intermission.  Abby and Tripp are having date night at the town's Movies in the Park event, but Abby cannot keep her thoughts away from her mom and her mom's new boyfriend.  Thoughts of everything are wiped out when Abby and her mom discover a body while cleaning up after the event.  With her mom's boyfriend as the main suspect, Abby launches her own investigation.  This could be my favorite book in the series.  The only drawback for me is Abby's mom Phoebe.  Phoebe is the very definition of a spoiled brat, and Abby is less likable with Phoebe around.  Aside from that I enjoyed the book and look forward to the next.

Killer Comfort Food by Lynn Cahoon is the fifth book in the Farm to Fork Mystery series.  Angie is worried she is going to lose her farm to a big processing plant.  There are several intertwined plotlines in this book.  Among them are a missing woman tied to a lawyer for the plant, criminal activity, and an employee being stalked by her ex.  Even though this book has quite a bit going on, everything ties together nicely and kept me enthralled until the end.

Week 3

 I am about two weeks behind on this, but I have a good excuse.  This was the rare time when I had three whole weeks off from the farmers market.  I have spent the time working extra hard to restock my inventory and set aside some items for the holiday season.  I still have one week left.  I hope to work on a few quick items that can be squeezed into a few empty spots in my totes.  

*My third goal from 52 Small Changes was exercise.  While I have not been doing a "workout", I have been getting my 10,000 steps in through working in the garden and making multiple trips to check on the baby chicks and turkeys.  

Change number four is keeping a food journal.  Let's just say my diet needs work and move on to change five.  (Future changes will address the poor eating habits).  Change five is being optimistic.  To help with this I will plan a thankful post for later in the week.

Stop buying yarn!!  All joking aside I am ordering with specific orders or projects in mind.  The problem is that I have a mess in my craft room - again!  No more yarn purchases for the next two weeks.
