    There are so many good cozies. After reading a few last year I haven't had one in a while, I'm starting to get the bug again. I love how there are so many choices...

    Happy anniversary! Hope you guys had an awesome day. Looking forward to seeing your TT historical settings this week.

      I've been wanting to read nothing but cozies lately! Something about the weather I guess!

    Happy Anniversary! I hope you find something fun to do together. My daughter and I have been watching a lot of foodie tv (Chopped, Cupcake Wars and Man vs Food). They are so fun to watch and I wish I could cook like them. I hope you have a great week!

      I don't know what the traditional gift for 13 years is. If I had my way it'd be fuzzy socks and books for my kindle!

    Happy Anniversary to you and J. There are so many cozies out there right now which seem to revolve around food in some way. I love the covers and titles, but I have a hard time keeping them straight! I hope you have a great week.

    Happy happy anniversary to you and J!
    I used to collect teapots and they were so beautiful on a high shelf over my sink, but we miss so dang much that it just wasn't practical to do this anymore. That book looks like fun and I'm interested in your thoughts on Star of Fortune, which I downloaded last month but didn't read yet. Have a very good week ahead with your family!

      I love the idea of collecting teapots but haven't yet. I imagine they did look lovely. I enjoyed Stars of Fortune very much. Hope you do too!
