Yea coffee! Can't wait to get my hands on your book!
ReplyDeleteLoved the book and will have a review up at Cooking with Ideas in a few days! Thanks for acknowledging the blog -- and congrats on another fine book!
ReplyDeleteDear Cleo,
ReplyDeleteLove the series! I get each one as soon as they come out! Just to let you know how excited I was to see Cops and Doughnuts on your website as well as the coffee giveaway. The coffee is very,very good. Being from Michigan this just makes you Proud! Thank you for a wonderful series. Hope
I love your series, I started collecting them when they first came out and when we moved my box of books was raided by rodents :) they must have been hungry to read. Subsequently I got an ereader and over time hope to replace and keep up with favorite series. Thank you for this lovely giveaway this week - coffee is one of God's lovely gifts :)
ReplyDeleteIt's finally here! I plan to spend the weekend enjoying every word. I wish it was Fall, the perfect time to read your books, but I could NEVER wait that long.
ReplyDeletePlease keep them coming!
I can't wait to read the Murder by Mocha mystery. I love trying the recipes in the books and my kids love them too.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to curl up with your books and a really great cup of coffee.
Yummm.... Iced hazelnut coffee and Roast Mortem....these will get me through an evening with hundreds of elementary school kidos and back to school movie night.
ReplyDeleteThank Cleo!
I'm new to reading this series but I went out to the book store to get a few more.I feel like I'm actually smelling the aromas of the coffee as I'm reading the book. Coffee and books are two of my favorite ways to pass the day. So it's nice to have them together in this series
ReplyDeleteThe recipes are so awesome and the books are too!!! I believe this series has been one of my all time favs!!! lol Keep up the great work!! (they are better than good)
ReplyDeleteTina Williams
The photos on this post look soooooo yummy! I was not even hungry before I sat down to the computer and now I want to find something good to eat! :) Congrats on the coffeehouse series!
ReplyDeletecsolinda (at) hotmail (dot) com
I do like your books with the recipes in then, keep writing and selling, please.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the coffee house series! I tell everyone about them and make them go buy the first book (everyone falls in love with them too!) I wish I had a signed copy! What an honor that would be!
ReplyDeleteI loved Murder By Mocha! I've tried the Frozen Hot Chocolate recipe and it was very good (even when made with sugar free hot chocolate mix :)
ReplyDeleteNicole
Loving the series! I am a few books behind but am adding a new book to my Nook as soon as finish one! Love learning about coffee! Best of luck with the new release.
ReplyDeleteI just finished Decaffeinated Corpse and can't wait for the next read. LOVE THEM! Thanks for all the great writing.
ReplyDeleteI love this series. Thanks for the great reads!
ReplyDeleteMurder by Mocha was an awesome read! Had to have my cuppa and double chocolate brownie while reading it. Cudos!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to pick up the new book!! Woo hooo!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read the new mystery.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win, I have read the 9 and I am eagerly awaiting recovery from a month long illness in order to begin Murder by Mocha...kind of hard to give it the attention it deserves while sick...Pick me Please!
ReplyDeleteKim
I'll have to get out my copy of Roast Mortem--that Osso Bucco looks wonderful. How did I miss it when I read the book? Really looked forward to Murder by Mocha. Reading it will be a treat I save for a long lazy day.
ReplyDeleteI got Mocha by Murder Tuesday on my Kindle and finished it in two days. I blame work for taking up my valuable reading time.
ReplyDeleteVery nice story, I was kept guess till very near the end. A couple touched I really liked, but if I write here about them it might be a spoiler and that is not what I am going to do.
Here is a coffee question: In an area with hard water, is using distilled water recommended? And I have always heard cold water should be used. True or False?
Keep writing!
Jim
I would love to win the cup and a copy of your new book! I love reading your books! They are the best! I love coffee too!!! Please enter me into the contest! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love your books. I own them all. Please keep writing them. Your coffee house mysteries are the best. Thanks, Fonda.
ReplyDeleteLove reading this series! Just ordered up the latest and greatest on my Nookcolor! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love the books! Right now, I'm trying to 'fill in the gaps' when I can. That cup is AWESOME! Keep writing you two, and I'll keep reading them! the problem is that I can read them faster than you can write them. Oh, by the way, Ordered "Roast Mortem" for our University Library's "Popular Literature Collection". It may amuse you to know that it was displayed right next to the Starbucks entrance!
ReplyDeleteJim
I love your series, have them all in hardback! Keep'em coming!!!
ReplyDeletei have a question about the blueberries and cream recipe! I bought the book on my Nook and under the ingredients list for the half& half it has a question mark instead of the amount. it says = ? cup . lol- does anyone know what its supposed to be?
ReplyDeleteI made a space for that cup right next to my collection of Coffeehouse Mysteries. Keep 'em coming...I love visiting the Coffeehouse!
ReplyDelete-Mia aka Ristretto -
Can't wait to read your new book. Have it on the reserve list at my library . Can't wait to try the new recipes:)
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much for making this contest such a great success! Your comments and private notes were very kind, and I appreciate every one.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could send each of you a signed copy of MURDER BY MOCHA, but there is good news -- if you didn't win this week, I have a brand new contest about to post on Tuesday morning.
I hope you'll have fun entering my new contest, which asks YOUR creative opinion on some of the characters in my Coffeehouse Mystery series.
This week's winner, by random number generator, was James "LibraryJim" of Tallahassee. Florida. Congrats, James!
Read with joy!
