On My Table And In My Cup May 14th-21st

Saturday morning as I write this, usually I do this before I go to bed but I was out last night for the Angry Birds movie for my son's birthday party, it was good to laugh and a great time had by all, we were home after 10pm and well I was to tired to think so I hope you do not mind the slight lateness in my posting. This morning  I am delighted to wake up to find that I have Kathi Daley's new Kitten Kabbodle on my table to share. I now have my weekend reading set, with my mail man away this week I got zero mail! I hope he is back Monday!

I have had some really fabulous books on my table this week and was able to review a few to share with you this week and coming up shortly. A first in a new series by Laura Bradford was nice to have on my table this week. I hope you are going to love it as much as I do!

On the Chopping Block by Jenny Kales, a delightful first in series out May 2th and it has all the makings of a truly great series!

On my table early as Readaholics and the Gothic Gala is not out in August.

Always delightful to have a new series and a great cover on a book on the table, The Calamity Cafe has a great title and fun cover don't you think?

This week I have had some lovely teas on my table, this one called Monday Morning that I found and ordered on Etsy from BecauseURpriceless Etsy Shop was really a nice black tea, I found it to hit just the right spot and I even think coffee lovers would enjoy it.

Well it is almost 7:30 and I best get ready for a few yard sales before baseball. Time for a quick refill before I am off and running. My beautiful 1940's teacup I found at last weeks sales has served me well this week. It was such a great find and is truly beautiful to use. Oh the stories I bet it could tell.
Thank you for joining me for a cup of tea and a cozy mystery today for a week in review. I would love to hear from you so please leave me a comment here or email me at karenmowen@gmail.com 

Laura DiSilverio's The Readacholics and the Gothic Gala

This past weekend I read The Readaholics and the Gothic Gala  by Laura DiSilverio. This book is out later this summer on August 2nd and is the third book in the series. I had not read the other two and while I liked the idea of this book, I did not 100% fall in love with the story or the mystery. I do think that if I had read the previous two in series that I may have had a different opinion.  I did however like the main character Amy-Faye and thought that she had a really interesting job and role in the book. Her relationship with her boyfriend in the story was also a nice addition to the story line.

Reading the gothic classic Rebecca already has the Readaholics spooked, and the chills only get worse when someone in town actually gives up the ghost.... Amy-Faye Johnson has her hands full coordinating the Celebration of Gothic Novels in Heaven, Colorado. The festivities start off smoothly, but the weekend is soon cursed with large egos, old resentments, and uninvited guests. Matters become truly grave when a dead body is found at the gothic-themed costume party. The out-of-town authors claim not to know the victim, but Amy-Faye has doubts. With skeletons turning up in all of the suspects’ closets, Amy-Faye and the Readaholics must tap into their knowledge of gothic literature to find a killer who lurks in the shadows...
