Reading Lists: January 2020

With all the Christmas preparations going on, crafting and otherwise, I fell back on a series I’ve enjoyed before. I think they probably fall under the Cosy Murder Mystery genre, and they show the world of publishing in a whole new light. There’s a fourth one which my local library sadly doesn’t have yet, but I suspect I shall probably add them to my Kindle library at some point anyway.
