BBT 8th Blogoversary Giveaway (1)

Welcome to my 8th Blogoversary Giveaway!

Last month was eight years of brilliant books, amazing authors, fabulous publishers, and working with some exceptional blog tour companies. I missed it last month since we have been preparing our house for the market.

I still find so much joy in reading the books I share, assisting the authors in getting their books out, and just being part of the beautiful world of books. The worlds that authors create are such treasures. I like to read many genres, as anyone who has followed me for a while knows. But lately, I find myself sticking to two main genres: mystery and romance, along with their many subgenres. Don’t count me out for a good fantasy or my mom and her thrillers. Throw a bit of paranormal in there, and either one of us is hooked.

In mysteries, it is fun to figure out the clues that the authors usually hide in the open. I sometimes get lucky and find the correct culprit before the investigator. However, my mom is much better at figuring out whodunit than I am. Do you like mysteries? Are you good at figuring out whodunit?

For romances, there is such euphoria when the couple finally gets their happily ever after. It keeps me smiling for days. Even if the main plot of the book isn’t romance, I find books that even have that little hint of it. Everyone needs somebody to love and return that love. Don’t you think?

Another of the genres that I like to read is middle grade or young adult. I like that the authors that write in this genre have a lesson for their characters to learn. They are easy to follow, and I get to share them with my friends’ children. I love introducing young people to reading. You will see a few more of those books reviewed this year, as I have found some intriguing middle-grade mysteries that I will be reading.

I would like to especially thank Lori of Great Escapes Book Tours for hosting so many fabulous tours this year. She is truly a fantastic person. Lori manages to keep all of us book bloggers straight and get us everything we need in a timely manner. I have worked with quite a few book tour companies over the years, and she is by far superior. If you have a book blog and love mysteries of all types, check out Great Escapes Book Tours. You won’t be sorry.

I’d also like to thank Megan Beatie of MB Communications for always sending exceptional thrillers (my mom loves them) and any other book she thinks I might like.

Also, for authors that have given me the outstanding opportunity to be on their ARC teams, I appreciate you so much. Thank you to Erin Johnson, Sophie-Leigh Robbins, Elizabeth Pantley, and Cece Louise. My mom would like to thank Sarah Westill for her ARCs too. Please keep writing, ladies. Your books bring much enjoyment to the world.

To celebrate (a little late), I’m giving away a collection of locally made items that I enjoy and, of course, a couple of cozy mysteries. I am calling this my Montana Gift Pack.

My last thank you goes to all of you reading this. I am happy you are here and hope you enjoy Baroness Book Trove.

Pages: 320

Release Date: February 25, 2020

Summary:

A Mystery Tribune’s Best Books of the Month

Last one standing is the winner  . . .
 
The holiday season has arrived, and bookkeeper/amateur sleuth, Sophie “Phee” Kimball, would love nothing more than to enjoy the comforts of her new home with her detective boyfriend near Arizona’s Sun City West. Instead, her mother Harriet wants to showcase her Chiweenie-chihuahua-dachshund Streetman in the Precious Pooches Holiday Extravaganza costume events. The festivities begin in October and end on St. Patrick’s Day—with the winner starring in the St. Pat’s Day parade. But things quickly turn an awful shade of green when Streetman uncovers a dead body under a tarp-covered grill in the neighbor’s yard.

The victim is Cameron Tully, a seafood distributor working out of Phoenix, who died from ingesting a toxic sago palm leaf. Before the police can even find a motive and suspect, another Precious Pooch owner nearly dies from the same poison. With Harriet believing someone’s targeting her and Streetman because of the costume contests, Phee will need a potful of Irish luck to sniff out a killer . . .

When Priscilla Halburton-Smythe brings her London playwright fiance home to Lochdubh, everybody in town is delighted . . . except for love-smitten Constable Hamish Macbeth. Yet his affairs of the heart will have to wait. Vile, boorish Captain Bartlett, one of the guests at Priscilla’s engagement party, has just been found murdered-shot while on a grouse hunt. Now with many titled party guests as the prime suspects, each with a reason for snuffing out the despicable captain, Hamish must smooth ruffled feathers as he investigates the case. When the hidden culprit strikes again, Hamish will find himself trying to save Priscilla from a miserable marriage-and catch a killer before he flies the coop.

    It’s a toss-up between Asherwick by Sarah Westill and The Book of Beloved by Carolyn Haines. So far, but it could change before the end of the year.

  2. Patricia Barraclough

    So far it is a tie between Her Amish Wedding Quilt by Winnie Griggs and Linda Brody’s A Cowboy of Legend and A Cowboy Christmas Legend.

  3. Nancy

    This is a very tough question for a book lover and non-stop reader. Usually my favorite book is the one I am currently reading! The one book that especially stands out in my memory is Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger. It is a beautifully written book that will stay in your memory.

  4. Melissa

    My favorite this is Friday the Witchteenth by Amanda M. Lee. But there are a few months to go and that could change.

  5. Jill

    My favorite book is always the current one I am reading. Which is currently Noble Intentions by Katie MacAlister. I’ve read this series many times.

  6. Donna E H Durnell

    I have several favorites that I’ve read this year. But 2 of them are: A STUDY IN DEATH (Lady Darby Mystery #4) by Anna Lee Huber, and BAND OF SISTERS by Lauren Willig. Generally whatever book I’m reading is my ‘favorite,’ but that hasn’t been true this year.
