Discovery

I have discovered that I am not the best blogger and have a real appreciation for those that do blog every day or every couple days. But I will continue on because I have been having fun with it. Today I attempted to be a Culinary Diva, finally caving for an iced coffee and a little reading. Tonight a Tuna Noodle Casserole is being made by yours truly. With my boyfriend out for the weekend I am left to my own devices which is exciting and fun. Last night I started Key Lime Pie Murder by Joanne Fluke. In the book there is a carnival/fair complete with fried candy bars. I have always wanted to try them but never have. I think for "nutrition" I would choose a snickers because they fill me up. What would you pick?

Review: Fudging the Books

I have been a fan of Daryl's work since I first opened her amazing Cheese Shop Mysteries and after reading all that had been available I jumped into the Cookbook Nook series. I have not been disappointed. I have loved her depictions of Crystal Cove and her heroine Jenna Hart (not as much as Charlotte in the Cheese Shop Mysteries though). Fudging the Books takes place during Pirate Week and two crimes happen almost at once, Alison Foodie, indie publisher of Foodie Books, is murdered by a pair of scissors and a pot of golden doubloons is stolen which sends Mayor ZZ into a tizzy. Something i like about Daryl and some of the other "cozy" authors (another I like is Krista Davis) is the mix between food, crime and humor. These writers are sometimes laugh at loud funny in the situations the characters get themselves into and you realize very quickly that not only do they really care and craft a good story but that their voices are resonating throughout the pages. Very highly recommended!!!!!

Cheese Shop...No More?

I received a very upsetting email last night from Daryl Wood Gerber (AKA Avery Aames). According to her new newsletter Berkley Prime Crime has discontinued The Cheese Shop Mystery featuring the ever love able Charlotte!!!!! The last book will be For Chedder Or Worse. This is a real shame because this has quickly become one of my favorite series of mysteries and will miss Charlotte and the ever irresistible Jordan! 

Have you read any of the Cheese Shop Mysteries or anything by Daryl Wood Gerber?
