Weekly Reads Round Up

Favorite Read of the Week

I post reviews on Instagram and Goodreads. What have you read this week? 

The Village Library Demon-Hunting Society by C.M. Waggoner

About the Book:

A librarian with a knack for solving murders realizes there is something decidedly supernatural afoot in her little town in this cozy fantasy mystery.

Librarian Sherry Pinkwhistle keeps finding bodies—and solving murders. But she’s concerned by just how many killers she’s had to track down in her quaint village. None of her neighbors seem surprised by the rising body count…but Sherry is becoming convinced that whatever has been causing these deaths is unnatural. But when someone close to Sherry ends up dead, and her cat, Lord Thomas Crowell, becomes possessed by what seems to be an ancient demon, Sherry begins to think she’s going to need to become an exorcist as well as an amateur sleuth. With the help of her town’s new priest, and an assortment of friends who dub themselves the “Demon-Hunting Society,” Sherry will have to solve the murder and get rid of a demon. This riotous mix of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Murder, She Wrote is a lesson for demons and murderers.

Never mess with a librarian.

Week in Review:

Fall temperatures reached our area and it was lovely. I am so enjoying the spots of colorful leaves I’m seeing around the neighborhood. Middle school student-led conferences went so well this week, fall parties at the elementary school were festive, and we all enjoyed a day off on Friday. Today we went to the pumpkin patch and secured our pumpkins. 

Something I’m Looking Forward To:

We will be attending two Trunk or Treats next weekend and plan to carve our pumpkins as well. Our trunk and costumes are Marvel themed and I’m looking forward to celebrating as a family.

About Me

Welcome! I started my career as a children’s librarian, later becoming a public library director and now I’m a stay at home mom. While my career might have changed, my love of reading has been a constant since I was in 4th grade, and I read over 200 books a year. I love talking about books and connecting readers of all ages with just the right book. Thanks for reading!
