Murder by Death

I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.

Booklikes-opoly: Turn 41 (July 27)

I can't seem to escape my pattern of finishing a book and being ready to roll again just as I'm off to bed, so once again, here are my rolls from last night:

 

 

My first thought here was UGH!  It was also my second and third thoughts too.  I finally found Body on the Bayou by Ellen Byron  and chose it out of desperation; there wasn't any water on the cover but the title has a 'bayou' in it and there's a wedding in the plot - surely someone is going to cry??

 

I started reading last night and sure enough by page 7 the bride to be has "burst into hysterical sobs".  MT thought I'd gone round the bend when I suddenly shouted "YES! WE HAVE TEARS!!!".  

 

Rolling again for my doubles:

 

This one was easy - I went with A Most Novel Revenge by Ashley Weaver, a "Christie-esque 1930's romp'.   This is, by the way, the first square I've landed on that qualifies for the "3rd Visit Multiplier*", so this one will be worth $12.00.  Woot!

 

I purely hate getting double doubles.  It would be just my luck to land in jail at the very end of the game.  But rolling again: 

 

 

Much better than jail, but sill - not a carnival fan, so I went with the title beginning with a letter found in PIXAR and chose Assault and Beret by Jenn McKinlay, the last book in this series, so I can finally get it read and off the shelf and off my active series list.
