Elementary, She Read by Vicki Delany—This series stars a neurodivergent Englishwoman who moves to Cape Cod to run her uncle's Sherlock Holmes-themed bookshop. Her neurodivergent personality causes her to be overly blunt and unintentionally condescending, but her hyper sharp observation skills make her an excellent amateur sleuth. Unfortunately, I found her totally insufferable. That, and some other issues, will keep me from reading more in this series. Too bad.

How to Book a Murder by Cynthia Kuhn—Despite being far-fetched and silly in places (not out of character for a cozy), I enjoyed this series opener overall. It's about two sisters who are desperate to keep their family's bookstore from going bankrupt. When they launch a side hustle in organizing mystery-themed dinner parties, they find themselves at the center of a murder investigation. I'll be reading on in this series.

So, what bookish books am I eyeing for February? I like the sound of these three:

The Lost Story of Eva Fuentes by Chanel Cleeton—Cleeton's newest doesn't come out until July, but I'm hoping to get an e-ARC from NetGalley. It's a triple-timeline novel centered around three women and a rare book written by a Cuban schoolteacher in 1900. 

Crime and Parchment by Daphne Silver—This is the first book in a cozy mystery series featuring Jewish rare books librarian Juniper Blume. When an ancient Celtic manuscipt is found in a Maryland cemetery, world away from where its supposed to be, Juniper is called back to her grandmother's hometown to solve the puzzling mystery—and try to make amends with her estranged family.

The Book Woman's Daughter by Kim Michele Richardson—I loved The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek and I've been meaning to read this sequel ever since it came out.
