The Joys of Binge Reading

I've recently rediscovered the joys of binge-reading.  It's so enjoyable to find out what's going to happen right away after the cliff-hanger ending, instead of having to wait for months.


When I was younger, I used to re-read series I loved, in the past several months, perhaps due to services like BookBub, Riffle and BookGorilla, it's suddenly much easier to find existing series I've never heard of.

Here are a few series I've enjoyed.


The Bakeshop Mysteries by Ellie Alexander.  (Eleven books, so far.)

The Bakeshop Mysteries are set in the charming hamlet of Ashland, Oregon, home to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival where romantic pastry chef, Juliet Montague Capshaw (Jules), has returned home to heal her broken heart and help run her family’s artisan bakeshop, Torte. Ellie Alexander’s culinary mysteries leave fans hungry for more with their decadent food descriptions, recipes, and a sinister slice of murder.   

The Eleanor Wilde Mysteries by Tamara Berry.   (Two books, so far, with one coming in October.)                                                                                                                   
When something goes bump in the night . . . it’s most likely a plumbing problem. But fake medium Eleanor Wilde is happy to investigate and cleanse your home of spectral presences—for a fee. Hey, it’s a living . . 

The Knit & Nibble Mysteries by Peggy Ehrhart.  (Five books, so far.)

Since her only daughter left for college, widow Pamela Paterson has kept busy as associate editor of a craft magazine and founder of the Knit and Nibble knitting club in quaint Arborville, New Jersey. Now, she’s trying out a new hobby—solving murders!


The Southern B& B Mysteries  by Carolyn Fardig.  (Three books so far.)
Quinn Bellandini loves her life in Savannah, Georgia, where she runs her grandfather’s B&B with her sister, Delilah. From baking fresh scones and serving up grits every morning to ensuring the guests see the best of their historic city, Quinn can’t imagine doing anything else—even if it means dealing with nuisances like the occasional malfunctioning commode.
