The Parlor PI's discussion

Some interesting nominations. Thanks to all who submitted any.
With an eye toward summer, I have selected
as the main title read for June.
Some of us have had the pleasure of discussing another of Miss Coyle's Coffeehouse Mysteries and she was even kind enough to offer copies of another one.
It is not a new book so there should be little difficulty in obtaining a copy. Please keep me posted as to your success in doing so and I will then post a reading schedule. Again thanks for all the help.
In the meantime wishing all the PIs a safe and Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

I do enjoy the coffee house books but I'm not sure if I've read this one!! My library system has 6 copies so I shouldn't have a problem acquiring it!

I don't remember reading this one in the series. Either way, I'm good. I'll see if store has a copy. If no, I'll order one.

I have this one

I requested from the library so should have it after the holiday weekend since the library is closed until Tuesday.

B&N was out so I'm placing online order. Start w/out me if you'd like and I'll be along ASA I'm able.

Enjoy your freedoms, PI's. We've many to be thankful for! ;-)

I've ordered this from the library as well, so it should be here shortly. I remember reading one of Ms. Coyle's books in our discussion a few years ago (Christmas themed, it was) and found it enjoyable. The author was kind enough to send me a copy of her (then) upcoming book as well!

I remember that Pgh! I think they were unbound or something. It was very kind of Ms. Coyle to offer them up. Unfortunately I have mislaid mine but have great hope it will turn up. ;-)

Very cool!!!

The book we read was in December of 2013 and titled Latte Trouble. The gift book I received was "Once Upon a Grind".

I think I've read both of those.

I still have my copy autographed by Cleo Coyle. She is def. a fan of her fans. Like Krista Davis, she values her following.

My book is on order.

J and the PI's, I mentioned to CC that we will be reading her book in June. If we ask, maybe she'll pop in. That would be another treat from writer gal!

I was going to contact her as soon as we had our reading schedule established.
Just got my copy- how are all the PIs faring?

That's it Pgh! Thank goodness you have a good memory...I clearly do not;-)

I'm picking up my copy this weekend!

J, I'll leave you to it...asking Cleo. She's a great sport. She'll probably do it!

My copy is in and I'll get it from the library this afternoon.

She is indeed Tina!:-)

I have my copy in hand...22 chapters plus an epilogue.
If we did our usual 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 chapters starting the week of June 12, would that give everyone enough time to get the book and begin reading?
We could save Chapter 22 and the epilogue for a wrap up discussion.
Does that work for everyone? Who's in?

That sounds doable.

My copy is in the way.

I picked mine up yesterday. I'll start reading as soon as I tie up some other book club books.

I'm in. Actually started it last night.

Ok then PIs; let's say chapters 1-7 for week of June 12.

Boo! I was to receive my copy yesterday but I guess with all the rain, storms in FL my delivery is delayed 'til tomorrow! Rain, rain go away!

FINALLY! Book came in late yesterday. Started reading. Ugh, more rain!!

Thanks for posting on her FB page Tina. I messaged her but have had no response. Hopefully you will be more successful.

PIs I'm sorry to have to report that earlier this week I suffered a broken blood vessel in my eye and thus have been unable to keep up with my reading. I thought it would be better by now but not so much. Would anyone like to host the initial discussion of chapters 1-7 or would you prefer to delay it another week?

Sorry about your health challenge, J. What would you prefer? We'll go with that.

Whatever the PIs want Tina. I'm good either way.

PI's, what say you. I'm also good either way. Then thinking a bit, maybe we should launch first set of chapters 'til J returns as not to forget what we've read. Help us decide. Post your opines here. Thanks!

That sounds good. I will be able to jump in either after work today or tomorrow.

If no one beats me to it, I can start the first section. I've finished it and need to move on speedily, to get the book back to the library on time!

That would be great, Mark. Even if only to post the chapters and we go from there. Thank you!

Thanks, Mark!
