Book Review: Hummus and Homicide

Hello Everyone,

I just love cozy mysteries! They can be heartwarming and informational. The most recent cozy that I've read is a Kebab Kitchen Mystery "Hummus and Homicide".

It was interesting to read and kept me hooked until the very end. Tina Kashin did an excellent job at creating a victim that was rather unpleasant.

The banter between Lucy and her family was believable. I don't want to go into too much detail as to not spoil anything, but I will say that the twist actually caught me off guard.

Another thing I love about cozies (well, two more things), they are light-hearted. I love a good whodunnit, but what I don't love is all the gore.

The last thing I love about them is that most of the time they come with recipes! Hummus and Homicide comes with three recipes; a hummus recipe, tabbouleh salad, and Lucys Almond cookies.

Camp Nano Goals

November 2022 I joined NANOWRIMO and thousands of writers with a common goal of writing 50,000 words for a new novel. I'm proud to say that I finished with 51,000 words. If writing 50,000 words seems daunting, but having a community of writers all working towards a common goal sounds amazing, then Camp NANOWRIMO is for you. Camp Nano differs from NANOWRIMO in the rules and word count. For NANO, you have to write a minimum of 50k to win and recieve an sort of prizes and it has to be for a new story. For camp, you can choose your word count and it can be for one project or as many as you want. NANO also only happens during the month of November and Camp happens twice a year in April and July. This is my first year going to Camp, but I just know it will be great. Now down to my goals. Overall I plan to write 20k words, which is about 667 words a day. But to get this done as quickly as I can, I want to write a scene one day, then the next day I'll go back, rere...

TAA Update: Outline Finished

To pants or to plot, that is the question. Now that I've taken on a massive writing project that is spanning well over seven months, I'm a firm believer in plotting. As of today (fingers crossed), my outline for my (fingers crossed) debut novel. Its looking like it will be around 75,000 words and will be a young adult novel. I didn't plan to write a YA novel, but it turns out that's what my level of writing is and there's no shame in that. Improvement is always possible. Over the next week, I'll be meticulously re-reading the outline for any inconsistencies or things that might need adjusting. Then when Camp Nano comes around on April 1st, I'll start writing.
