A mystery with scrapbooking? Even if I don’t win, I hope I can find these at Barnes & Noble! I’m always looking for a good book to read

I’ve enjoyed her other scrapbooking mysteries. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
I wanted to say, “thanks for being here” as I think you folks do a terrific job. The book looks great, by the way.
I’ve read all the previous scrapbook mysteries and loved all of them!
I LOVE Laura’s books! I have read all the other scrapbook mysteries except for this one because I was waiting for paper back! I’d be thrilled to get this copy so I could get started right away!
I’ve been wanting to read one of these but never seem to remember when at the library or bookstore. A freebie would be really good!
How fun! Off to check out the other titles

I have never heard of this series before. I am a huge reader and love mysteries. I will have to look into getting them all.
I got to read a few of the first ones, it’s great to have them in a scrapbook setting! Glad that there are more! I’ll have to update my reading list!
I love to read and must check this series out ! Thanks for sharing!
Laura Childs books are awesome. Haven’t read this one but the other scrap ones are great.

Hey – isn’t it interesting that “scrapbooking” wasn’t even a word not that many years ago and now it is a way of life – and in murder mysteries! We have changed our culture. It’s an interesting world.
Doreen
I have read her first book & loved it!! Thanks for offering this to your readers! Wonderful!
Love these books. Fun reads. Hope I can win this one!
I haven’t heard of these books either so I would definitely love to have this one! And by the way, I am really glad that I stumbled on your site, it’s terrific!
I have read more than one of Laura’s scrapping books and love them. I’d love to get one in New Zealand!
Scrapbooking Mystery?!?! Count me in!
Oh what a sweet deal! Would love to have this book!
I’m not saying they’re great literature or anything. But I’ve read three of Laura’s scrapbooking mysteries and, well, I really like ‘em!
I love light mysteries – a good series I could recommend is Carolyn Hart’s Death of Demand – about a mystery book store owner who solves mysteries. This sounds even better – and with scrapbooking tips to boot.
Susanne
Sounds like a winner! Would love to read a new series!
I’d love to sit down with a good mystery and a cup of tea. Thanks for offering these, Laura and Nancy.
…and Nancy, I loved your CHA updates!
I would love to read this book. Thanks for the chance.
I’ve read some of Ms. Childs’ earlier scrapping mysteries and they were great. I need to catch up and read the rest…an autographed copy would be an awesome addition to my “collection”. Thanks for offering such an fun prize! (Ooooooooo, my fingers are crossed!
Excellent! I am looking for something to read right now.
I love this series of books!
