On My Table and In My Cup November 21-28th

This week has been so busy and lots has happened. We are in full Holiday swing here and the Elves are back on my table again this year. The Santa Claws Bandit is currently on my table and a good English Breakfast tea in my cup.

I was delighted to read Murder Fir Christmas this week, such a treat to find a cozy like this story offers. I really love the balance of the cozy with paranormal, lore and traditional murder mystery. I love stories by Joyce and Jim Lavene.

I also loved Vicki Delany's Rest Ye Murdered Gentlemen, the year round Christmas town cozy is going to be a series I am looking forward to reading, book two which I hope will be set in the Summer!

Last night my younger two and I started our holiday baking (though I did bake more then 20 dozen cookies last week) and tonight I am hosting my annual cookie exchange, it is so much fun to gather and exchange with my friends, we each bake 1/2 cookies for each person coming. Looks like it is 16 this year. So if you pop by this time of year I will have cookies to offer and share along with a pot of tea.

Squirrel and I thank you for joining us for a cup of tea and a cozy mystery week in review. I look forward to sharing more with you again soon.

3 Holiday Cat Cozies To Enjoy While I Remember

This week I am sad to report our 17 year old cat Baby Kitty died. She lived a very good long life and on Monday it was very clear that she was suffering, unable to keep down water or food anymore we made the agonizing decision to have her put down. It has been a hard week for our family and I did not share it on social media but it has been on my mind. Today I want to remember happier times and wonderful cats, so today I bring you some wonderful new Cat themed holiday cozies.

I have just started The Santa Claws Bandit by Alannah Rogers and I thought today's post I would share some Christmas Cat Cozies you may just need to add to your holiday to be read and wish list!

I have not yet read The Cat of Christmas Past but I love Kathi Daley's Whales and Tails books! Click here to find it on Amazon. I am purchasing and adding this one to my tbr pile today.

The Paws & Claws mysteries by Krista Davis are delightful and I am so looking forward to this one arriving in my mail box in the next few weeks. I pre ordered mine from The Book Depository .
I am really looking forward to reading it.

We were blessed with this cat for so many years and this is the last photo I took of her. She was going down hill pretty steadily for the last little while and it is a comfort to know she is not suffering anymore. The entire family will not soon forget her. Thank you for taking time to read my post today. Enjoy your day.
