Journal Entry 3 by LyzzyBee from Birmingham, West Midlands United Kingdom on Monday, July 02, 2007

I was thrilled to find this in my goody bag - I have just started exploring the "cozy mystery" genre and I wonder who on the committee knows that...

Look forward to reading this! 

Journal Entry 4 by LyzzyBee from Birmingham, West Midlands United Kingdom on Sunday, October 14, 2007

Another cosy mystery set in the stitching world - I am coming to like these a lot. This one has an interesting and sufficiently twisty plot (hey, I'm new to this - maybe some of it was obvious!) and then the details of stitching and knitting of all kinds to keep the stitcher's interest too. This was the 2nd or 3rd in a series, and I will definitely be on the lookout for the others.

Thanks again for such a good choice!

RELEASE NOTES:

Posting to my Not So Secret Autumn Surprise partner tomorrow. Hope it arrives in time and that you enjoy it!

Two reasons why I sent this to you!

a) it was in my Uncon goody bag and we were both at Uncon!

b) I see you like stitching and crafts. I don't really like murder mysteries but I do like these stitchy cosy mysteries, as a lot of it is about the stitching!

So hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Journal Entry 11 by Heaven-Ali from Birmingham, West Midlands United Kingdom on Thursday, February 12, 2009

Passed to me last night : ) Thanks Liz. I have been really enjoying this series, and look forward to this one too. 

Journal Entry 12 by Heaven-Ali from Birmingham, West Midlands United Kingdom on Sunday, February 22, 2009

Another enjoyable slice of Betsyism's and the mysteries she manages to get herself involved in. I found there was even more needlework stuff in this one, which I am sure needleworkers love - but which means little to those of us who never even think of picking up a needle. I enjoyed the different setting with this one too, I think I would like a few days at Naniboujou lodge - but I would be sitting by the fire reading - not sewing.

Will be sending on soon.

Journal Entry 14 by AnglersRest from Teignmouth, Devon United Kingdom on Wednesday, March 11, 2009

I am a very naughty Book Crosser, and forgot yo journal when arrived.

As always this was a great read, I just love this series, I was sure that I had read this one previously, but no matter, as it was a lovely way to spend an hour or two.

I have LindyB28's address, so in the post between now and the weekend! 

Journal Entry 15 by LindyB28 from Cambridge, Cambridgeshire United Kingdom on Thursday, April 02, 2009

thanks for posting this on; I'm really enjoying this series so have started reading this installment already! 

Journal Entry 16 by Vespa from Weymouth, Dorset United Kingdom on Saturday, August 15, 2009

woo hoo I'm looking forward to reading this one. Thanks for passing it on 

Journal Entry 17 by Vespa from Weymouth, Dorset United Kingdom on Monday, September 07, 2009

another nice little book ...perfect for currling up on a rainy Sunday afternoon with, which is just what I did :-)
Will gett his onwards to Scotsbookie as soon as possible 

Journal Entry 18 by scotsbookie from Peebles, Scotland United Kingdom on Friday, November 20, 2009

Arrived safely with me this morning, thank you. 

Journal Entry 19 by scotsbookie from Peebles, Scotland United Kingdom on Sunday, March 07, 2010

This was another good read, taing Betsy & Jill away from Excelsior for a wee change.It accompanied on several trips & hepled to while away the time.

Onit's way to kitten99 tomorrow. Thank you LyzzyBee for the chance to read this series. 

Journal Entry 20 by kitten99 from Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear United Kingdom on Saturday, March 13, 2010

Finally made it to the royal mail depot to pick up a parcel they've been holding for me, and found this! Thanks to Scotsbookie for sending it on, and to Lyzzybee for arranging the spiral which I am really enjoying. Can't wait to start reading this - I might actually ditch the book I'm currently reading and take this one to the hairdressers this afternoon to read instead while I'm waiting! 

Journal Entry 21 by WelshHelen from Ponthenri, Wales United Kingdom on Tuesday, March 23, 2010

Arrived safely yesterday. I've actually read most of it already because I have my own copy and wanted to read the books in order. I've requested Calalilly's address so I'll send it straight on to her.
 

Journal Entry 22 by WelshHelen from Ponthenri, Wales United Kingdom on Monday, March 29, 2010

I think this is my favourite so far. Even though most of the regulars were hardly in the book, this was well made up for by a new group of characters - some interesting, some irritating, some downright suspicious!

Love the idea of a stitch-in in a remote, comfortable lodge, with nothing to do but stitch, knit, eat and sleep... heaven! Anyone want to organise a trip? :-)

Another highly recommended read from Monica Ferris.

Thanks for sharing, Liz. I'll post on to Calalilly tomorrow. 

Journal Entry 23 by WelshHelen from Ponthenri, Wales United Kingdom on Friday, April 09, 2010

Posted to Calalilly today, very sorry for the delay. 

Journal Entry 24 by calalilly at Waterlooville, Hampshire United Kingdom on Tuesday, August 17, 2010

Really sorry that I didn't acknowledge when I received this, I thought I had. Another light and really enjoyable book to read. I hope to be posting this off tomorrow to Carolye. 

Journal Entry 25 by Caroley at Birmingham, West Midlands United Kingdom on Thursday, August 19, 2010

Received today thanks. 

Journal Entry 26 by Caroley at Birmingham, West Midlands United Kingdom on Saturday, August 21, 2010

I knew it wouldn't take me long to read this so I was rather naughty and let it jump to the top of the TBR pile. What can I say - it was calling to me.

Like the other books in the series, I really enjoyed it. This one was a bit different, being set outside of Excelsior, but that made a pleasant change. Jill is one of my favourite characters so it was good to see more of her. I enjoyed having more descriptions of the needlework, especially as I've recently got back into cross stitching.

Thanks again to Liz for organising this lovely spiral. I'll get this one straight off to Wigglywoods.

Journal Entry 28 by WigglyWoods at Chorley, Lancashire United Kingdom on Thursday, September 02, 2010

Arrived last week but when I tried to journal Bookcrossing wasn't working. Enjoyed reading another Betsy mystery and will post this on to Katisha50 asap. 

Journal Entry 29 by Katisha50 at Birmingham, West Midlands United Kingdom on Sunday, September 12, 2010

Arrived some time during the past week while I was in New York, thank you WW. Must get to the the next Iris Murdoch (a group of us are reading them in pulication order) and then this will be read. 

Journal Entry 30 by Katisha50 at Birmingham, West Midlands United Kingdom on Wednesday, September 22, 2010

Well, this got pushed up the list so the Murdoch had to wait. I'm really enjoying this series and was not disappointed that it was set away from Exelsior. Will be passed on as soon as I get an address.

The first and last book arrived on Christmas Eve. Better than any card :) 

Journal Entry 34 by imawinn2 at Neenah, Wisconsin USA on Tuesday, February 08, 2011

Well, lookie what showed up on my coffee table on Superbowl Sunday. Little Miss jazzoasis came by to help us cheer our beloved Green Bay Packers football team on and brought some "mystery" to the festivities. Looking forward to reading another Betsy Devonshire adventure. I do have a couple of bookrings ahead of this one but I should be able to get this read in time.  

Journal Entry 35 by imawinn2 at Neenah, Wisconsin USA on Friday, February 18, 2011

Another fun read. This one I thought I had the crook nailed but was surprised. I enjoy these needlework murders but it always makes me want to find a big block of time to sit on my duff and do my own crosstitching. Alas, there are only so many minutes in a day for us working fools. Anyway, I have the book ready for mailing and should be able to send it off tomorrow. Looking forward to the next book.
