The second half of summer was busy with some fun travel, I went to the Tastefully Simple which was held at the Marriot Hotel in the Mall of America. I've never been to the Mall of America so that was a new experience. I like the Minneapolis area, if I had to move from Chicagoland, I'd move to Minnesota. I know that sounds bonkers because of winter, but the winters aren't as bad as they once were and I'd rather layer up than live where it is too hot to go outside.
Then I had a nice birthday and it was time for school to start. This is my second year as a lunchroom supervisor and on Friday I realized I had learned all the kindergarteners' names--well I mean the ones I work with--.
Recently I've been craving cozy mysteries, so I've been borrowing the audio versions of Krista Davis's Kitchen Diva series. I've completed listening to :
*The Diva Frosts a Cupcake
*The Diva Wraps it up
*The Diva Steals a Chocolate Kiss
and The Diva Serves High Tea
This series has mysteries that keep me guessing and I love the ability Krista Davis has to weave sleuthing while sharing literally mouth-watering recipes. I highly recommend this series.
Right now I'm reading The Glida Stories which is about a black lesbian vampire, the story starts pre-Civil War
and right now it's the 1921s as I am reading. It's a compelling read and one you should add to your reading list if you enjoy vampire stories and or supernatural books for spooky season.
I'm also listening to The Diva Cooks Up a Storm and A Court of Wings and Ruin.
How have you been? Do you enjoy it when the calendar turns to fall?

Hey stranger! Good to hear what's happening. I lived in Minnesota many years and it's a beautiful place. I've only been to MOA a few times though. I hope you'll be able to read more great books as you get into the school routine.
Anne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
I love a good cozy mystery, and I've never been to Mall of America either. I do want to get over there one of these here days...
Happy Belated Birthday!
I read the first couple of books in Krista Davis' series and loved them. I don't know why I got away from them since I have them on my TBR. I have to get back to catching up on that series.
Have a great week!
Great blog
I do like when the calendar turns. Fall is my favorite season :) That might change now that we live in a place that will have all four seasons, we'll see! I am not a huge cozy mystery fan, they usually don't have enough suspense for me, LOL! Have a great week!
Happy belated birthday!!
