I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses!

Denise Swanson has been writing cozy mysteries (in several series) for a while now. Her books are enjoyed by those who welcome spending time in Scumble River, the locale of both the original and the “welcome back” series.
This book features Skye whom I have followed for many years. By now she is trying to enjoy a maternity leave from her position as a school psychologist. But…things are never calm around Skye and her police chief husband, not even when they are trying to arrange for their babies’ christening.
What caused an explosion at a bowling alley? Who is the victim? Who the perpetrator? Enjoy finding our in this story. If you enjoy this, know that there are many cozies set in Scumble River.

Review
Based on this delightful entry, this cozy series should have a long, bright future.– “Publishers Weekly on Dead in the Water”
Note:
Currently the fourth in this series is available from Kindle for less than $2.00
This book offers its readers an enjoyable gay themed enemies to romance read. I especially liked the background of politics in the story.
Here we have two people whose work involves the governor of California. She, Leonora, wants to run for president and Thom is on the campaign. Data analyst Clay and he are forced to interact for the good of her run.
We all know that the media impacts election campaigns and that happens here. A photo of Thom and Clay goes viral and the action speeds up. Lennie has asked the two to “fake date” and things escalate.
Readers will be hoping for that happy ending. Will they get it? Read the book to find out. Publishers Weekly describes this one as a “breezy romcom.”
Many thanks to Harlequin Trade Publishing and Mira Books for this title. All opinions are my own.

Review
“Quick-paced, sharp, and thoroughly entertaining. I couldn’t put it down!”—Helen Hoang, New York Times bestselling author
“One of my favorite reads this year. Love, Hate & Clickbait is a steamy and satisfying romp on politics, public life, and our private hearts.”—Jean Meltzer, author of The Matzah Ball
“Bowery keeps the romance light and engaging… With political intrigue, social media virality, fake dating, and an enemies-to-lovers romance…it’s a charming, breezy rom-com.”—Publishers Weekly
