December 20th's Friday Post

'Twas the Friday before Christmas, and here on the blog, it's time for a Friday Post.  (Sorry, I'm not a poet, at least a rhyming one.)  I'll be linking up to:

I've got another Christmas cozy for you this week.  This time, it's I'll Bee Home for Christmas, the fourth Fatal Food Festival Mystery from Cathy Wiley.

These books are always fun, and this book was no exception.  And it pulls you in from the beginning:

I’ve done many crazy things in my lifetime. This one might take the cake.

Just what is the main character up to?  You'll have to pick up the book.  Meanwhile, here's this quote from 56% into the book.

“Where’s Emily?” Anna Brooks asked. “And your niece, April?”
I winced, realizing no one had told her about the murder. I bit the bullet. “Emily was talking to the police.”
“The police!” She repeated shrilly. “What’s going on now?”

This is a mystery, so I bet you can guess what's going on.

My full review will be up on Monday, so I hope you'll come back then.

Meanwhile, let's take a look at this week's Book Blogger Hop.

In December, many people like snuggling up with a nice book and a warm beverage. What kind of reading environment do you prefer during the winter?

During December, I enjoy reading with my Christmas trees twinkling.  But I continue to read anywhere I can.  I read in my car at lunch time on days when I have to work in the office, and I park on the top of the garage so my car isn't too cold.  A perk of living in So Cal is that this is even an option for me, right?  The rest of the year, I park on lower levels where I get the shade to keep it cooler.

Hope you have a great weekend!
