Wednesday
I finished the sci book I was reading. My reading goal for this year is 60 books. With this book, I've read...
Un-freaking-believable. I'm in shock myself. I credit being involved in the reading groups and the sprints that I participate in.
About to start MAGIC, LIES, AND DEADLY PIES by Misha Popp. 1st of 2 in Pies Before Guys Mystery series.
The first time Daisy Ellery killed a man with a pie, it was an accident. Now, it’s her calling. Daisy bakes sweet vengeance into her pastries, which she and her dog Zoe deliver to the men who’ve done dirty deeds to the town’s women. But if she can’t solve the one crime that’s not of her own baking, she’ll be out of the pie pan and into the oven. Parking her Pies Before Guys mobile bakery van outside the local diner, Daisy is informed by Frank, the crusty diner owner, that someone’s been prowling around the van—and not just to inhale the delectable aroma. Already on thin icing with Frank, she finds a letter on her door, threatening to reveal her unsavory secret sideline of pie a la murder. Blackmail? But who whipped up this half-baked plot to cut a slice out of Daisy’s business? Purple-haired campus do-gooder Melly? Noel, the tender—if flaky—farm boy? Or one of the abusive men who prefer their pie without a deadly scoop of payback? The upcoming statewide pie contest could be Daisy’s big chance to help wronged women everywhere…if she doesn’t meet a sticky end first. Because Daisy knows the blackmailer won’t stop until her business is in crumbles.
Published 2022; 324 pages. This will count for the second scavenger hunt in May, the theme is "bakery or Sweet Shop". The first scavenger hunt for this month is this coming weekend and I already read it, AN AMERICAN IN SCOTLAND by Lucy Connelly with the prompt "blue on the cover".
Another reading challenge this month starts the 21st. It's another "read 1000 pages in a week" one which I enjoy because it nudges me into focused reading and not jumping up every five minutes. The prompt, if one chooses to use it, is "Spring". I may or may not use it but I have a couple possibles if I do:
Aren't those covers so pretty? Both are fantasy books, first in series. So we'll see what I wind up with that week.
Steve's got the range tonight. I'll be making some egg roll soup for later and some monstrously huge brussel sprouts dinner.
Then some reading and hanging with Keo. He seems to like to do a walk around the block in the later evening so we'll probably wind up doing that, too.
Have a good day
Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
