Right, library haul

Right, Library Haul

I borrowed 10 books but TBH I will probably read at most 3 of them. Here are the 4 most likely candidates, also guest starring the bookmark my coworker made! It was a gift and she was so proud of them :) I can't wait to use it.

I love cozy mysteries but the last... 2 or 3 I picked up had a problem I'm a little hesitant to admit to... basically I was really uncomfortable with the lack of racial diversity in the books and it made me not want to read them. If anyone has recommendations for cozy mysteries featuring POC (not just appearing as BG characters or like a sassy best friend) that would be great. Bonus if the book is still very much a mystery, instead of.... you know... turning into An Identity Book. I want that good casual but deeply rooted shit. Double bonus if the author is also POC. (although I do have some complicated feelings about the Own Voices label I won't get into here.)

I would give my left arm for one that meets the above criteria AND is that sublime combination of romance AND mystery.

[Mm I should do a post about some of the mysteries I've read / failed to finish recently]
