While we are not having a YouTube livestream discussion in December, we did vote on a buddy read book. Some of y'all wanted to know more about buddy reads. Essentially, buddy reads are books that people decide to read as a group and discuss the title as they read, not necessarily waiting until a designated date/time or the end of the book to chat about it. When it comes to buddy reads, readers usually have a selected method of discussing the book. We have the Instagram and Twitter accounts (@cozymysteryclub) as well as the 12 Days of Cozies hashtag so help foster individual conversations.

In the run-up to Christmas Eve, organizer of book-themed tea parties Callie Aspen and her lovable Boston terrier will have to conquer threefold trouble—a mysterious will, a missing heirloom and a dead body—to restore the festive spirit to their small town.

This Christmas, Callie Aspen returns to her childhood hideout Heart's Harbor, Maine where her great aunt runs Book Tea, a vintage tearoom where every sweet treat contains a bookish clue. Upon arrival in the fairy-tale snowy town, Callie is drawn into the preparations for a special tea party at Haywood Hall, the rambling house of Heart's Harbor's oldest resident, rich but lonely widow Dorothea Finster, who invited her estranged relatives, old friends and the elite of the town to make a mysterious announcement about her will.

Believing they can touch a part of her fortune, everybody is determined to come, despite not liking each other or even their hostess. And Callie's old friend Sheila complicates things by using the tea party to announce her daughter's engagement, even though her daughter isn't sure she's in love with the young lawyer her mother thinks so perfect for her.

Catering to people who each have their own agenda isn't easy for the Book Tea crew, especially once the valuable engagement ring goes missing and a dead body turns up in the conservatory. Can Callie and her great aunt use their love of clues to dig into the crimes and show their unhappy hostess and squabbling guests the true Christmas spirit?

I hope you can join at least one of the upcoming Cozy Mystery Book Club events. I am always trying my best to bring you fun content, offer unique giveaways, and connect fellow sleuthers with one another. Plus, I hope the extras I created bring a smile to your face.
