The Case of the Stolen Fireworks by Tracy Fredrychowski (The Mystery Hunters Club)

I was so happy to read this young reader's book!  It took me back "many" years from when my friends and I walked all the way to the library every Saturday to get our Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys mystery books!  I loved mysteries as a young elementary age girl. And even though this was a younger reader book, I really enjoyed the mystery and the steps they took to try to resolve the "who dun it and why?"  I look forward to the second book in the series.  It was a cute story of friends and young detective work.  I think this would make a great gift for any young reader. I received a complimentary copy of this book.  All opinions are my own.

 

Deadly Bloom (An Amish Book Club Mystery) by Tracy Fredrychowski

I love a good mystery and any Amish books I can get my hands on!  This was filled the bill.  I enjoyed the cozy mystery and the story line was very engaging.  So I had to read till the end.  Its fun to read about the Amish ladies who are determined to resolve the "cause of death".  This is a short story but with no dull moments.  Well worth reading for Amish mystery lovers like me!

A Thorn in Winter's Grasp: Christmas Historical Western Romance

 

This was a really enjoyable book in a time that life was much harder.  It was such a sweet story that I read it in one sitting.  I really enjoyed the story line and how Hope had to play the role of a teacher as well as  her Aunt Millie who has passed.  When Millie passes Hope takes her place as her aunt had requested and travels to be the teacher of Jed's children. She hasn't told him the truth as to who she is but the kids love her.  After some time the truth comes out.  And things don't go as planned.  This is a story about an older couple, which I found very refreshing!  Good story!
