Hi Everyone! I'm from Victoria, B.C. I am just getting back into reading for fun and will never read another journal or text book if I can help it. I look forward to connecting with this group on all things cozy mysteries!

Hi Nadia - I too live in the PNW surrounded by forests! The PNW is the perfect place for reading cozy mysteries!

Hi! My name is Kerrie. I'm an avid reader and enjoy reading multiple genres but I will never turn down a good cozy mystery. Please feel free to add me as a friend and I welcome any suggestions for good books to read next.

Hello! My name is David Leaphart, living in Greenville SC. Originally from Charleston, so reading Laura Childs series on the Indigo Tea Shop. She knows her Charleston. Also reading Anna Lee Huber's Lady Darby series along with Candice Harris' Sebastian St. Cyr series. I've really fallen for Maisie Dobbs, reading and rereading Jacqueline's series. For short stories, the British Crime Classic Library series is excellent. Just finishing Charles Lynch's Lenox series. Finished the Cate Kensie series, waiting on the new one this summer.

Hey! My name is Jae and I’m pretty new to this genre but really interested in it and would love to explore it more :)) I haven’t been into reading since a long time but it’s definitely becoming one of my favourite activities, looking forward to my time here!

Hi there! I'm Jupiter. I read a lot of genres, but I love cozies and am always looking for new series to read :D. Favorites include Carlene O'Connor's 'Murder in an Irish...' series and the Kathryn Ardleigh books by Robin Paige :D

Hi all! This is my first group on GoodReads! My name is Ryan, I'm a proud father of two amazing boys, two fantastic aussies, and a whole lot of books and Lego. My boys and I have our very own Fellowship of the Nerds Book Club (and dnd club) and we spend a lot of our time reading and writing.

I live in Iowa and just broke down and bought a kindle for digital reading, but am all about the smell of a brand new book. I love fantasy and cozy mysteries.

Hello. My name is Trish and I hail from Pittsburgh, PA. I am so happy to have found this group. Leslie Meier's Mail Order Murder may have been my first Cozy Mystery, which I read by in the early '90s, and have been a huge fan of her books since. I just finished my first Diane Mott Davidson's and am looking to read more of hers. I read other genres, also. I am a big fan of James Patterson's Michael Bennett series. Anyway, I look forward to being a member of this group.

Hello there! My name is Ariel Palenik, and I am newly published author of the mystery novel, "What's Wrong With 1961"
I am also a horror guru, and Stephen King fan.

If you are interested in my book, you can find it with ease on Amazon. Thank you....

Hello!
My name is Nance and I love cozy mysteries! They are easy and fun to read.

I thought I'd try to figure out how to use Goodreads to communicate with more people, and this is the first group I am joining! I have written a couple of reviews in the past, but I usually just give star ratings (I read before bed, so I'm fairly tired when I finish a book).

Anyway, just a little about me: I am a writer and I'm currently working on a novella -- it's not a cozy mystery, though. I've been writing my whole life in some capacity. I made my career as a technical writer for more than 30 years and I retired a few years ago.

I look forward to meeting others who enjoy the same genre and discussing books.

Hello!
My name is Lanna, and I love all kinds of mystery books, from cozy to crazy. They are fun to read! But I also like historical fiction as well, but if it's a mystery, even better!

A bit about me really like to bake if I'm not reading for fun, I like blogging, and I am simply living life to the fullest.

I look forward to knowing all of you!

Hiya!
I’m Heather :)
I love reading cozy mysteries/romance/fantasy! Favourite cozy mystery at the moment is the Thursday murder club series, love those books a lot!
I got into cozy mystery more through TV when I was younger watching things like Midsomer Murders and Father Brown but love to read a good mystery now!
Looking forward to chatting all things cozy mystery with everyone :) x

Hello,
I am a university professor. I would like to explore the group and I do have a book I would like to promote. What prompted me to write the novel is the intense struggle between the self, religion, fantasy, and metaphysics in general. I would like feedback from the group.

I'm Deanna. I like to pick up some small paperback cozy mysteries. Yeah they can be a bit silly but I found Bailey Cates' Magical Bakery Mysteries to be very fun and cozy reads. I like the low-key mysteries rather than a bunch of nonsense thrown in my face. I've never been into Mysteries as a kid but I'm trying to increase my reading palette now that im older. I do love to watch Crime shows tho lol.

I'm Lexy. I've recently fallen headlong into cozy mysteries, particularly cozy knitting mysteries. Who knew there could be such a fun little niche for fiber-based crafters. I've started with the Knitty Kitties series by Tracey Drew and the Vampire Knitting Club series by Nancy Warren. Also branched out from knitting to The Scottish Ladies' Detective Agency by Lydia Travers and The Glass Library by CJ Archer. I've been primarily listening to audio books of these and, as such, am limited by the selections available in that format. Looking forward to exploring more in both audio and regular book over time.

Hi my name is Becky, I love mysteries and often read the cozy mysteries. Peggy Webb has a great series with a bassette hound she named Elvis he helps the main character catch the criminals.

I have been a member for several years, but may have not introduced myself. An avid reader since I could! I am open to reading just about any genre except maybe hard core science fiction. Mysteries and historical fiction and nonfiction are my favorites. Autobiographies and biographies about fascinating people and historical figures are up there as well. I live in various areas throughout Wyoming and would love to be a published author but am too insecure to submit any of my works!

Hi, I'm Lori. I'm a reader and writer who always forgets to record what I'm reading. 😀 My favorite book of all time is Collen McCullough's "The Ladies of Missalonghi." There's a small mystery, strong ladies, a touch of romance, and a sprinkle of magic. I find there's a little of that in the books I write, too! Glad to be here.

I am Calie and live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with my talkative Siamese cat, Sardine. I am an avid reader with my favorite subjects being mysteries and historical fiction. I especially love it when the two come together. Lately I’ve been going through some heavy life stuff and found I was gravitating more and more to cosy mysteries as a fun escape. I joined this group to expand my knowledge about cosys — which authors are favorites? What series keep you coming back? I’m looking forward to browsing the archives and to following what is being read.

hi my name is clara, i’m a swiftie, livie, carpender and gracie abrams fan! i read lots of fiction and want to read more cozy mystery! feel free to add me, im super active!

Hello everyone,

My name is Terry and I love all mysteries, but cozies in particular. Some of my favorite authors are: M.C. Beaton, Donna Andrews, Rhys Bowen, Mary Daheim... the list goes on and on. I am always on the lookout for new cozy recommendations!

Hello! My name is Chelsea. I started getting into cozy mysteries during quarantine when I started marathoning Murder, She Wrote and watched Clue for the very first time. Now, I’m always looking for a good cozy mystery. My favorite ones are locked room mysteries where the group is locked up with the culprit.

Hello! Glad you are here!

Hello everyone! My name is Brenna and I love reading just about everything, but I have really been into cozy romances and suspenseful mysteries lately. Why not blend the two and jump into cozy mysteries, right? I can't wait to read more and jump into group discussions :)

I'm Makayla, I'm new to good reads but I've been reading since I was young, I have been into mysteries ever since and I've had a collection of Frieda Mcfadden from Tiktok, I really like easy to read cozy mysteries and I hope this is a space where I can get those recommendations, I'm based on the Philippines. I hope we can be friends!

Hi, I'm Miranda. I grew up watching Murder, She Wrote with my mom (and still do, because why not lol). Once I was a tad bit older she introduced me to a mystery series that quickly became my all-time favorite book series - the Mrs. Murphy books by Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie Brown.

hi, i'm sera and i'm from the philippines! i've always loved a good mystery, but now i'm getting more hooked on cozy mysteries since they're such a fun and easy read. aside from reading i also love to paint, sketch, and listen to music on my free time! feel free to add me, i'd love to be friends <3

Hi! I feel like I'm late to the party but I just finished reading Agatha Christie's The Mysterious Affair at Styles. I got it as a gift for my birthday last year and finally picked it up. I finished it within a couple of days. I haven't made time for reading for almost a year now. I'm so excited to start up again. Happy to take an recommendations. I prefer memoirs and true crime but open to anything right now.

Good for you. Maybe try NaNoWriMo in November. It is a site where you write 50,000 words in November to "win". Winners get a badge and happy they finish. A lot do not finish but the idea is to write.

Hi!

Finally discovered Groups on Goodreads, what a treat.

This is my third group (also in a Kate Morton discussion group, and Spoonies - a group for people with chronic illnesses).

I always love reading mystery, cosy and otherwise, Like many of you, I have the collected works of Agatha Christie in front of me as I type this ... but I'm looking forward to discovering some little-hyped gems from lots of new authors.

Great to be here xx

Hi Beth, Im Beth :) I can relate to trying to not buy books and just get from the library, but I work at the library so it helps. I have a large to-read list that i slowly pick away at. I read a bit of everything but mostly I love mysteries. especially in the fall!

Saying, hello to everyone. I'm hoping to make friends with book readers and read stacks of good books.

Hello and warm wishes to all group members. My name is Michael, I am married and have a delightful daughter who is 11. I am also a Barrister-at-Law and recently published author of a novel. I am an avid reader of fiction, non-fiction and of course, when I’m not writing fiction, my day job requires me to read voluminous materials. I am looking forward to discussing books with group members.

Hi to everyone.

I'm a surveyor, I own a sea kayak, live within a stone's throw of the briny and luckily work in coastal surveying.

I yearn for fiction that asks me think: join-the-dots, figure what is happening, where the plot is taking me.

Hi lovely humans! I’m Kili and I have been an avid reader for years. Due to university and life getting in the way (rude), I lost my love for reading due to burnout and in the past year, I have been reconciling and healing my relationship with reading one book at a time! I have never been in a book club and have never had a community of book lovers to relate with and honestly, I am so excited to be chatting with you all. I’m currently reading Emily Wilkes Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett and Legendborn by Tracy Deon. So excited to discuss with you lol and hope you’re all healthy and vibing!

Hello Group.

I'm new here.

I'm Jenny,

I'm living in Glasgow for now. I'm heading south as soon as I can. I've stopped going out in the evenings: it's not safe.

Books are where I'll be for the foreseeable. Making friends would be good for me.

Hi,

I'm from the UK and have decided being at home and reading is now the better choice for my leisure time.

Hi, I'm Chali (pronounced, "Charlie.")

Born in Thailand. For the next few years I'm here in the UK (where my grandpa was born).

Anyone want to be friends? I'm friendly.

Hello! I’m Reanna!!! I just picked reading back up in July!! I finally found a genre that I love and haven’t stopped reading since lol I’m from Tennessee!! Yes so I’m very happy to be here!! 🖤

I'm Nom. I live in Madrid with Nat. We're British and ran off. She'll join you now that I have. We do everything together. We'd like to be friends with you all.

Hello, I'm Elle! I have been a long time fantasy, fiction, and some romance genre reader, and now I'm slowly working my way in to try some mysterys. I have already read a book from this genre and learned that I love to discuss with some book friends!

Hello, I am new to the group and love cozy mysteries . I am currently reading Magic Movies and Murder and it is really enjoyable so far. I am a reader and reviewer and I am working on creating a blog centered on books for children and families with wholesome stories centered around themes of Christian faith, culture, social emotional learning as well as other topics related to humanities.

Welcome to the group! Fall is the absolute perfect time for a cozy mystery!!

Hi, I'm fumbling around in European Modern history at the mo'. I hanker for thrilling reads but shy from today's melange of preposterous, shoot'em up, sex 'em up, save the world tack. I'm looking for thrillers (not limited to fiction) that has roots in the real-world and asks you to think about what is happening.

Hello Everyone,
Happy to be part of the group. I am a Socio-Medical Fiction writer through my first Kindle Unlimited e-book series , "COVID Stories from India" which currently has 3 short stories.
