29. Sugar Cookie Murder (Joanne Fluke)

Oh yeah - and continuing on the murder/death theme, I forgot to mention "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" by J. Lindsay and the rest in the series. I haven't read them yet myself but I love the TV show and someone else on Goodreads thought they were good.

Somebody's enjoying spring!

Molly wrote: "Somebody's enjoying spring!"

Absolutely!! :o) I was never really interested in birds before. My grandmother (who lived next door) always fed the birds and watched them for hours, but she passed away a little over a year ago and I recently found myself missing the birds. I started with a couple of feeders and I've gotten almost obsessed with my birds. I keep adding more stuff out there. It's kind of scary actually... but harmless and entertaining! ;o) I've really enjoyed Sally Roth's books.
