Snap | 52 comments I read a bunch of books this month, but didn't keep track!

A Killer Stitch: A Knitting Mystery by Maggie Sefton. This is the fourth in the series. I really like the characters, enjoy visiting with them and the *mystery* isn't bad either. Cozy, amateur sleuth.

Bookplate Special: A Booktown Mystery by Lorna Barrett. Third in this cozy, amateur sleuth mystery. Best of the bunch yet. Another book where I enjoy visiting with the characters. I'd love a street like Booktown in Houston!!!!!

The Talisman Ring by Georgette Heyer. The Heyer books are being reprinted and I've been picking them up when I see them at Half Price (or less). What a hoot she was!"Stories in the manner of Jane Austen, of domestic comedy and love affairs." Regency Romance. I did pick up one of her mysteries that I haven't started yet.

Death Perception: A Psychic Eye Mystery by Victoria Laurie. I've been reading this series all month. This is number six in the series. Guess I shouldn't have read them all in order (!!!!) but I'm sending them on as a Holiday gift! Another that I enjoy visiting with the characters. They are well written and speed right along. My only quibble -- the author and main character don't seem to like cats!!!!!!

The Yoga Teacher by Alexandra Gray. This little gem cost me a whole $1.00 at Half Price books and I enjoyed every word (and the cover isn't bad either). Fiction. "Disappointed with her job as a pharmaceutical rep and struggling with the decline of her long-term relationship, Grace is in no mood to pitch her company's latest antidepressant to another uninterested London doctor. But the disarming Dr. James -- with his plans of studying Eastern medicine in Vietnam -- stirs something in Grace, and soon she find herself quitting her job, and her boyfriend, to follow her dream of becoming a yoga teacher." Lots of quirky characters. Worth every penny!!!!!!!!

Melodie (melodieco) | 3679 comments I really liked BOOKPLATE SPECIAL, too, Snap. DEATH PERCEPTION, tho, left me wanting. I usually like this series, but wasn't crazy about this one.

Snap | 52 comments Mel,

Maybe it was Las Vegas?!!!!!!! I just figured I read too many of them at one time!

Melodie (melodieco) | 3679 comments It wasn't DEATH PERCEPTION that I didn't like. It was DOOM WITH A VIEW!

I found the audio version of this a lot of fun.

What fun to have a post with your monthly book list again! I liked the first Lorna Barrett book Murder is Binding.

Re Yoga--Are you aware of the yoga mysteries

Corpse Pose,Dial Om for Murder andMurder on the Eightfold Path, Snap? If so, what's your verdict on them? I haven't read them. I've just become aware of their existence myself.

Not Snap, but I've read the first 2. The 3rd doesn't come out until sometime next year. I liked both, but they don't deal a lot with yoga. The heroine inherited a yoga business from her aunt who was a big name in the yoga world. The stories don't really have a lot to do with yoga except for the setting, but there is yoga info at the end of each one.

Snap | 52 comments Shom,

I haven't read any of the yoga mysteries. I may have to try one, especially if Melodie liked them. !!!!!
