It's a Quilt Shop and Christmas Reading

It's a Quilt Shop! How cute is that? The Designer Mystery 2015 Block 6 is a quilt shop. What a perfect addition to our village.

It's coming along, my little village. My tiny star blocks are progressing too, but gosh, they are slow going. Very fussy to make those little 2 1/2" center stars.

My friend Sue and I always like to buddy-read a book or two during the holiday season. This time we chose a cozy mystery called "Gingerdead Man" by Maya Corrigan. It is a light read, not too intense or gory. Cozy mysteries tend to rely on poison or other not-too-bloody means of offing the victims. This book has a lot of characters to keep track of (that's my only complaint so far). I am about three-quarters of the way through it, and I sure don't have a clue who done it. Have any of you read this? It is part of a series evidently, but you don't need to have read any of the previous books. 

Do you enjoy reading holiday-themed books during Christmas? What do you recommend?

I save any Christmas themed books I get throughout the year and read them in December. Most of mine are romance oriented because I get the best deals on them. Nothing like a feel good book by the light of a Christmas tree

That book looks fun & I do enjoy cozy mysteries. Your quilt shop block is so cute, as are those teeny-tiny star blocks! It's going to be a great quilt!

Love your cheery house/shop blocks!
This time of year I enjoy reading ...
The Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter by Susan Wittag Albert
The Aunt Dimity series by Nancy Atherton.
Rhys Bowen has written several Christmas theme books, too.

Hugs!

Donna Andrews has a wonderful series of cozy mysteries where there's always an animal/bird involved. The main character and her crazy family make for a really fun read. Andrews does a Christmas-themed mystery every year along with the other books.I just finished The Gift of the Magpie.
I like the Aunt Dimity series also.

You’re going to town on the Mystery quilt! The weekly star block is one I was always sorry I did not participate in. It will be fun to see yours when it is done.

Love the little hummingbird "surprise". I have several feeders at my house in the PNW to encourage them to stop by. I'm enjoying your Mystery quilt.
