Giving Thanks

It's almost time for Thanksgiving already and it seems like the summer just ended. Like every year, this one has had ups and downs, but I have a lot to be thankful for. Great family, great friends, and great books! ;)

If you need something to kick-off your Thanksgiving, here are a few titles that will get you thinking about turkey and pumpkin pie (well, pie anyway).

• "Turkey Flambe" by Nancy Fairbanks -- Features Culinary Food writer Nancy Blue
• "Turkey Day Murder" by Leslie Meier -- Stars Part-time reporter and full-time mom Lucy Stone
• "Murder She Wrote-A Fatal Feast" by Donald Bain/Jessica Fletcher
• "Lemon Meringue Pie Murder" by Joanne Fluke - Hannah Swensen make delicious desserts for her cookie shop, juggle two great boyfriends, and investigates murders

This ought to get you hungry for Thanksgiving and give you great cozy mysteries to enjoy by the fire.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels for all those visting family and friends away from home.
