I was having a really rough week. And I took some time to myself to step away from work and home. I ended up sipping a coffee and walking around Barnes & Noble. And then I fell down in the mystery section….

I know purchasing things is not great self care (at least as a primary source) but I have been finding myself more drawn to books this summer. Mostly due to the Summer Reading contests at my local library. And I’m on a huge detective novel kick so give me all of the Sherlock Holmes and Jessica Fletcher.

I picked out these six books because the synopses looked great and the covers caught my eye. Most of these are new to me, except for the two in the bottom right. Three Bags Full is the book that the Hugh Jackman movie “The Sheep Detectives” was based on. That was a beautifully done movie and I can’t wait to read the book. Who doesn’t love animals solving crimes?

Happy Reading!!
