Attention: jlsjlsjls: Needlecraft Mysteries

[anotheranon]

Monica Ferris' "Needlecraft Mysteries" series - I've not read any but it looks like a series of novels with punny names set in a Minnesota yarn shop, Crewel World.

I got one as a Christmas Present. I enjoyed it, and it was a quick read. They all have a cross-stitch pattern in them, too, usually based on a scene in the book.

Yes, I've catalogued books from quite a few different craft-based mystery novel series, so have probably handled titles from this one ... after a few hundred mass market fictions at a go, they tend to blur together a bit. ;p There may be good ones out there, but so far none have screamed "read me" to me (I think for me, being a longtime lover of psychologically complex Brit mysteries, they're a bit like McDonalds food ... y'know, they way they have to offer free toys to get anybody to buy/eat the stuff)

Speaking of cataloguing fiction ... any clue why the sudden explosion of zillions of "Pride and Prejudice" sequels/spinoffs over the last couple of years? I swear, I've catalogued a hundred of the things, all by different authors going different directions, and my co-workers and I are getting heartily sick of the sight o' them.
