Kensington Books has been releasing some amazing cozy mysteries lately. One that caught my eye recently is THE DIVA SPICES IT UP by Krista Davis! This is the 13th book in the Domestic Diva Mystery series. These books are set in Old Town, Virginia and feature Sophie Winston - basically a young Martha Stewart 😌 . 👩🏽‍🍳 . Sophie never considered ghostwriting as a side gig, until former actress and aspiring lifestyle guru, Tilly Stratford, trophy wife of Wesley Winthrope, needs someone to write her celebrity cookbook. Sophie agrees, hoping she'll earn enough bread on this assignment to finish her bathroom renovations. But as it turns out, Sophie isn't the first foodie to get a taste for recipe ghostwriting, and if the marginalia are any indication, this project could be a killer... Wesley claims professional ghostwriter, Abby Bergeron, suddenly abandoned Tilly's cookbook with no warning. But Sophie quickly discovers that Abby may be more ghost than writer now...and her disappearance was no accident. So Sophie cracks open a fresh investigation but sifting the seasoned murderer from this sampling of salty suspects won't be easy. Will Sophie savor another case closed or will the culprit simply melt away? . 👩🏽‍🍳 . #tlcbooktours #kensingtonbooks #thedivaspicesitup #kristadavis #cozymystery #culinarymystery #adomesticdivamystery #foodiefiction #coverlove #jennblogsbooks #bookstagram #Bibliophile #unitedbookstagram #bookobsessed #booksbooksbooks #lovetoread #allthebooks #bookphoto #booktography #bookflatlay #netgalley #ebook #digitalbooktour https://www.instagram.com/p/CAG9t6pF0KI/?igshid=76qiqbtsjv1p

Who doesn’t love a little Christmas in July?! I’m so excited to partner with @stmartinspress @tlcbooktours and @ellie_alexander to bring you this cozy mystery! . . • SYNOPSIS • . It’s Christmastime and everyone is heading to Torte, the most cheerful bakery in town. There’s no place like home for the homicide… Ashland, Oregon, looks as pretty as a postcard this holiday season. The halls are decked, stockings hung, and eyes are all aglow-mostly thanks to the buttered rum. Jules Capshaw and her staff at Torte are busier than ever. . . still, even the town’s most in-demand bakers need to take a break. So Jules invites everyone to celebrate at the local Winchester Inn’s Dickens Feast, a six-course extravaganza with Yorkshire Pudding, Christmas goose, and all the trimmings. But as the weather outside becomes frightful, things inside turn less delightful when one of the guests ends up as dead as Scrooge’s doornail. Now it’s up to Jules and her helpers to make a list of suspects and check it twice, to try to find out who’s naughty, who’s nice, and who’s guilty of murder… . . • #ACupofHolidayFear #ABakeshopMystery #ChristmasinJuly #culinarymystery #cozymystery #foodiefiction #tlcbooktours #bookish #bookstagram #booknerdigans #libraryofinstagram #readordie #booklover #epicreads #bookdragon #booknerd #readersofinstagram #readersgonnaread #bookreviewer #currentlyreading #bookcommunity #booktography https://www.instagram.com/p/B0WIOzigxM6/?igshid=z8q9dj9xewc

Thoughts: Hungry Hearts

Short stories have been perfect for my brain lately, just the punchy nature of a good short story really helps me read and relax. I’ve also been able to enjoy YA a bit more with my inability to focus super closely on things – so I found a YA Short Story collection to try! Based on an entire street/area of a town these stories all loosely hook together and some were definitely stronger than others.

Me&K's

I love tacos! I mean seriously who doesn't love tacos? This post isn't about tacos but maybe I need to make a post just for them? Probably. No this is a special entry. This is a post for two special ladies who contacted me months ago thanks to my very good friend Jeremy Smith ( IG @whitehatstudios ) who was booked and sent them my way. This post is for Melissa and Kerstin, owners and operators of Me&Ks food truck in Johnson City, TN. If you like tacos, what are you waiting for.. follow them on IG and know where they are so you can tell them I sent you and order my favorite, Baja Chicken Tacos. Ok enough about food for now.

I was scrolling through my IG feed when a notification chimed, alerting me to a new DM. I check and it was from Me&Ks asking about my availability for their wedding day. I went into my normal response of questions about the day, to quickly realize they were considering getting married during the 2019 Pride Parade and wanted to know if I was able to capture something like that. Even though I had never shot a moving ceremony, I was immediately curious about the logistics of making it work. We exchanged a few messages and it was set! I was excited. At this point, I had not had the pleasure of eating at their food truck so the next week, I made it a priority to go by, introduce myself and exchange the love for small business. I knew immediately that I was going to have a great time as I had just met Melissa as she was working feverishly away making this amazing food. It wasn't long before she called over Kerstin to make the introductions complete. We talked off and off the months before the big day and as most weddings, plans changed. The wedding would now be held at Painted Acre Farms which was another bonus as I had yet to shoot here. The owners of this venue are amazing people and I truly hope to work with them many more times in the future. Go follow them and show some love too. Since the ceremony ( it was gorgeous btw ) would be the day before, the Pride Parade would just be the newlywed ladies sitting on the back of a Mercedes with the top down and having a blast. This is a wedding/event I will never forget being a part of. I had a hard time deciding what images to share but here are a few of my favorites from the 2 day event. As always be sure to click on the vendor name for a direct link to their social media.

Harry says he'd figure out #ad whodunit 'cause he's a smart cat. How about you? Can you figure out the clues? . For culinary challenged Sarah Blair, there’s only one thing scarier than cooking from scratch—murder! . Married at eighteen, divorced at twenty-eight, Sarah Blair reluctantly swaps her luxury lifestyle for a cramped studio apartment and a law firm receptionist job in the tired hometown she never left. With nothing much to show for the last decade but her feisty Siamese cat, RahRah, and some clumsy domestic skills, she’s the polar opposite of her bubbly twin, Emily—an ambitious chef determined to take her culinary ambitions to the top at a local gourmet restaurant . . . . Sarah knew starting over would be messy. But things fall apart completely when her ex drops dead, seemingly poisoned by Emily’s award-winning rhubarb crisp. Now, with RahRah wanted by the woman who broke up her marriage and Emily wanted by the police for murder, Sarah needs to figure out the right recipe to crack the case before time runs out. Unfortunately, for a gal whose idea of good china is floral paper plates, catching the real killer and living to tell about it could mean facing a fate worse than death—being in the kitchen!  Includes quick and easy recipes! **Now on tour with @tlcbooktours ** . . #DebraHGoldstein #ASarahBlairMystery #cozymystery #mystery #culinarymystery #foodiefiction #tlcbooktours #bookstagram #instabook #booksofinstagram #harrythefarmcat #tuxedocat #tuxie #tuxiecat #tuxedo #tuxiesofinstagram #catsandbooks (at Riverbend, Montana) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsXSlbYAQNW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m9d3k31e6dwd

How did Monday treat you? I had a surprisingly pleasant day. No time to read yet, but the day isn’t quite over! . 🍢 . Thank you to @kensingtonbooks and @tlcbooktours for sending me a copy of ON THE LAMB by Tina Kashian. This is the 4th book in the Kebab Kitchen Mystery series. Food themed cozy mysteries always make me so hungry! . 🍢 . Lucy Berberian is busy preparing her family's Mediterranean restaurant for Easter on the Jersey Shore--but a batch of sweets is to die for . . . Bikers are thundering into the seaside town of Ocean Crest for the annual Bikers on the Beach gathering that raises funds for injured veterans. It's a big boost for the Kebab Kitchen, as well as for local businesses like Melanie Haven's candy shop. But Melanie is about to find herself in a sticky situation. When Melanie and Lucy attend a beach bonfire, a local landlord is found dead after apparently choking on a piece of salt water taffy. Melanie, who was known to have a contentious relationship with the victim, is quickly skewered as the prime suspect. But Lucy is determined to prove her friend's innocence before the real killer coasts free . . . . 🍢 . #onthelamb #tinakashian #kensingtonbooks #tlcbooktours #jennblogsbooks #booktour #cozymystery #foodiefiction #culinarymystery #whodunnit #kebabkitchenmystery https://www.instagram.com/p/B9iDcvfFDni/?igshid=lltvxv4rvjyn
