Some people indulge in marathon sessions of their favorite show on Netflix. Like many other readers, I tend to rereads my favorite authors in the same fashion. I also love doing it with an author that’s new to me. In both instances the series tend to span back a few years. It’s a rare occurrence that the series is only one and a half years old. By August 29th you’ll have 6 books to devour—heaven. Pure heaven.
That’s what I found when I stumbled across Sue Minix’s The Bookstore Mystery series. You don’t have to read all of them in order to love each novel. You just have to adore cozy mysteries, book stores, and pets…and S-C-O-R-E! Your vacation reads are covered. The bonus is the price on your e-reader. The first book in the series, MURDER AT THE BOOKTORE, is $6.99. The next five are $2.99. Quality stories at a great price so you can spend your hard earned dollars on the destination you deserve—even if it’s your own backyard with your feet in the kiddie pool.
Enjoy! (I sure hope 2025 brings more from Ms. Minix and The Bookstore Mysteries.)
