That Hawaii based mystery sounds like a good one. And the coffee sounds neat too- I like it when something like that is inspired by a favorite series. :)
ReplyDeleteNeat your reading buddy got to travel to the setting. Love the puzzle theme. Nice haul of books.
ReplyDeleteI like all three of your Happy Things. Great book haul. Happy Reading (and watching)!
ReplyDeleteThis comment is Martha - at least it took the comment.
DeleteLOVE the cover for Nubia!
ReplyDeleteYou have lots of interesting reads in your lineup. I'll be looking for your thoughts on them soon.
ReplyDeleteSince we are headed for Montana tomorrow, I should watch Montana Story, I think.
That Egg and cheese on a Buttermilk Malt Biscuit (and everything else on their menu!) looks SO GOOD!
ReplyDeleteAll the Louise Penny stuff looks fun and I haven't even read any of her books!
