Talkin' Turkey Trouble, Mrs. Claus Mysteries, and Reading Recomendations with author Liz Ireland

Happy Thanksgiving! In today's episode, we have a super-sized Thanksgiving episode for you today.

My guest today is cozy mystery writer Liz Ireland, author of the Mrs. Claus Mystery Series. We talk about her new Thanksgiving-set mystery, "Mrs. Claus and Trouble with Turkeys" and what's coming up for the series. We then talk about Thanksgiving traditions, foods, and share what we are thankful for. Then we talk about reading and offer our own Christmas TBR lists!

In addition to this, my dog Pumpkin and I share some vet-recommended advice about what foods your four-legged friends should avoid at this year's Thanksgiving feast!
