Books of a Feather is another in the Bibliophile Mystery series by Kate Carlisle. This is a fun series and I've enjoyed learning about restoring old books. We see more of Brooklyn's hippie parents this time, who bring a chaos all their own! Be aware of all the connections with birds this time .... :-)

This is another early Christmas read, but I thought I'd put it with another mystery that featured birds. How the Finch Stole Christmas, by Donna Andrews is the next of the Meg Langslow series. These are always a fun and easy read, which make them perfect for when things get hectic and you just want a bit of a sit with a cup of tea and a book. There is the often drunk, always cranky 'over the hill' star of the Christmas play, an over abundance of illegal birds confiscated in a raid (and needing a place to stay), a possible puppy mill ... what could go wrong?
