Book Description
When a witch changes lanes without signaling, the result is magical mayhem… It’s not a date. At least, that’s what Skye O’Malley tells herself when A-list actor Max Sullivan invites her to their hometown's annual harvest festival. He’s just grateful she helped him clear his name of murder charges, that’s all. It’s a friendly, platonic outing, as innocent as a batch of pumpkin chocolate-chunk muffins. Until they make a grisly discovery in the corn maze. A dead body. And not just any dead body — it’s the town’s mayor. The last thing Skye needs is to get tangled up in another murder case, especially considering her unreliable psychic skills. But Max has such unwavering faith in her potential, she reluctantly consults her tea leaves. Which show her nothing but…good luck symbols? Maybe it's time to push her boundaries a little. However, consulting YouTube for spellcasting how-to videos probably wasn’t Skye's best choice. Because not only does she now have a highly annoyed talking cat to deal with, a murderer has taken notice of her activities. And will stop at nothing to remind her she should have stayed in her own lane….

Book Description
Las Vegas, New Mexico, isn’t exactly sin city, but that doesn’t keep this quiet little town from seeing its share of unexpected murders! And while Skye O’Malley, owner of the Levitation Latte coffee shop, might be doing her best to lead a quiet life, she finds herself called to bring her talent reading tea leaves — and having a prophetic dream here and there — to solve those crimes. Lattes and Levitation is a lighthearted small town mystery series with an overarching romance subplot carries throughout the books. This boxed set includes the first three books in the Lattes and Levitation paranormal cozy series: Caffeine Before Curses Skye’s witch powers are nothing special. When a film crew comes to town, though, those powers are put to the test when the film’s star — her unrequited crush — is accused of murder. Max needs a miracle, but if Skye’s tea leaves are too murky, a killer could get away clean. Muffins After Magic When Skye and Max discover the dead body of the town mayor in the harvest festival’s corn maze, Skye pushes her magical boundaries with the help of YouTube how-to spellcasting videos. Now not only does she have a highly annoyed talking cat, a murderer has taken notice…. Pastries and Prophecies Skye had hoped February would involve surprises like Valentine chocolates, not the mother who abandoned her showing up out of the blue to teach her about the family magic. But when her mother is accused of murder, Skye’s efforts to prove her innocence could make her the next to die.

The Muffin Dragon
Author: Stephen Cosgrove
Publisher: Heritage Builders
ISBN: 9781939011596
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
In a far corner of the Island of Serendipity stood the poorest of poor castles. Everything was poor including the villagers who lived inside. No matter how poor, the villagers took the greatest of pride in the baking and selling of muffins Every morning, villagers loaded them onto their only wagon and went from village to village selling all the muffins. One day there appeared at the castle a great and monstrous dragon—a muffin-munching dragon. With crumbs still on his face from the muffins he'd eaten at the last castle he'd visited, the dragon came waddling down the hill, right up to the drawbridge. From the smell of things, this was a perfect place for a muffin-munching dragon to live. From that day forward, he ate all of the muffins. With no muffins to sell, the castle folk had no money to buy supplies to bake more muffins. All would have ended here had they not all learned to work together. A delightful tale about simple economics.

This Is Where You Belong

Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
In the spirit of Gretchen Rubin’s megaseller The Happiness Project and Eric Weiner’s The Geography of Bliss, a journalist embarks on a project to discover what it takes to love where you live The average restless American will move 11.7 times in a lifetime. For Melody Warnick, it was move #6, from Austin, Texas, to Blacksburg, Virginia, that threatened to unhinge her. In the lonely aftermath of unpacking, she wondered: Aren’t we supposed to put down roots at some point? How does the place we live become the place we want to stay? This time, she had an epiphany. Rather than hold her breath and hope this new town would be her family’s perfect fit, she would figure out how to fall in love with it—no matter what. How we come to feel at home in our towns and cities is what Warnick sets out to discover in This Is Where You Belong. She dives into the body of research around place attachment—the deep sense of connection that binds some of us to our cities and increases our physical and emotional well-being—then travels to towns across America to see it in action. Inspired by a growing movement of placemaking, she examines what its practitioners are doing to create likeable locales. She also speaks with frequent movers and loyal stayers around the country to learn what draws highly mobile Americans to a new city, and what makes us stay. The best ideas she imports to her adopted hometown of Blacksburg for a series of Love Where You Live experiments designed to make her feel more locally connected. Dining with her neighbors. Shopping Small Business Saturday. Marching in the town Christmas parade. Can these efforts make a halfhearted resident happier? Will Blacksburg be the place she finally stays? What Warnick learns will inspire you to embrace your own community—and perhaps discover that the place where you live right now . . . is home.
