Amazon Description

Ella Mae LeFaye’s Charmed Pie Shoppe is wildly popular in Havenwood, Georgia—which is not surprising since Ella Mae can lace her baked goods with enchantments. The shop’s extraordinary success seems destined to continue when Ella Mae meets an engaged couple who hire her to handle the dessert buffet at their wedding.

But Ella Mae has a lot on her plate. She is also searching for the origin of her magical powers—and hoping to determine if the spark of attraction she feels for the handsome Hugh Dylan is authentic or just her new abilities gone awry.

Then Ella Mae discovers a high-standing member of the community dead, and a wedding guest becomes seriously ill at the event she’s catering. Now she’ll have to use all her sleuthing skills and culinary talents to prove her pies don’t contain a killer ingredient . . .

 Ramble-y Teaserish Stuff

I used this book on Tuesday for my Tuesday Intros & Teaser Tuesday post and thought that I would be well into another book by today, but I've barely made a dent thanks to work and exhaustion and life and whatever. 

I'm not really complaining because the more time spent with Ellery the better ... though I do have, literally, dozens of her books still on my TBR and reading at the pace of a snail with narcolepsy isn't going to help anything ... but it does, at least, mean that I have a good excuse to share more blips with you.

Tuesday I used the very beginning of the first chapter, of course, so today for Book Beginnings I'm going with a bit from the end of the first chapter. It's still part of the beginning, right?

The "56" is from the 56% mark ... which I am nowheres close to as of yet but I am so looking forward to finding out why Reba might be packing heat!
