🕰️Way Back Cozy Wednesday: July 2026 Edition 

On the third Wednesday of each month, I’ll feature a cozy mystery I read long ago. Backlist titles make my heart sing and hopefully you’ll find some new to you reads for your cozy TBR. This month we’re going back to the year 2013…

The Spellmans Series by Lisa Lutz: Isabele “Izzy” Spellman, a 28-year old sleuth working for her parents’ private investigation firm, in San Francisco, California. 

I’m cheating a little as I’m highlighting an entire series, when I actually read the last book in the series (The Last Word) in 2013. These books are just so hilariously entertaining – I actually think about them a lot, wishing I could find a new series just like this. If you enjoyed Finlay Donovan or Stephanie Plum and haven’t tried these, I would recommend checking them out!

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!
