📚Little Red Death by A. K. Benedict

The goal for me this month is to tackle the cosy murder mysteries I have

💭 What’s on your May TBR list?
💭 Will you take part in 'Murder' May?

💫Each month, if there’s a prompt where I can share recommendations, I’ll be sure to do so. Due to character limitations, I couldn’t include all the book titles and authors here, but they are listed on the blog post.

Even a few romances couldn't resist sneaking a little murder in... who knew love and murder made such a good match? 😘🔪

🎯 How it works:
✔️ Pick a book for each prompt.

📚First-Time Caller by B.K. Borison
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - A heartfelt, thoughtful romcom that balances charm with sincerity—I can’t wait to see what’s next in the series.

💭 What have you read over the last 2 months? Is there anything you'd recommend?

📚The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong
⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 - Someone reviewed this as “the type of book you want Studio Ghibli to adapt” and that’s exactly it.

📚A Cat from Our World and the Forgotten Witch Volume 3 and Volume 4 by Hiro Kashiwaba
⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 - In Volume 3 we have new faces, new revelations, and an effortless way of introducing them all without it feeling overwhelming.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Then we have Volume 4 and Oh my gosh! This volume changed everything.

A sneak peak...

📚The Spell Shop by Sarah Beth Durst
⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I found it so easy to picture the world she created without feeling overwhelmed by descriptions.

📚The Crimson Moth by Kristen Ciccarelli
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - If you love a magic-filled, enemies-to-lovers, slightly angsty read—read this now.

So, I decided to combine February and March into one wrap-up instead 💻📚✨
