Hi everyone! I'm new to this ground and I'm a Chinese who now lives in Los Angeles. As a non-native English speaker, I found cozy mysteries books are easy for me to understand and gain a sense of excitement. Really glad to meet you all here！

Hello my name is Aria I love reading mystery’s and young adult I am recently writing my own series of books and I am excited to publish it

Heya, I'm Moni!
I'm not good at introductions but here it goes!

I'm from Australia. My favourite genres to read are horror, mystery, thriller, vampire, paranormal and fantasy. I generally try to read many different genres when I can.

Hello Hello!

My name is Jacob! I'm from Texas, but currently living in the Chicagoland Area for the last year and a half! My GF and I have two cats and are both currently getting back into reading! OH! We are also joining a book club at our local Barnes & Noble next Tuesday! I am always willing to read a new genre as I love expanding my palette! I think that's all for me now, but I'm looking forward to talking with y'all and reading some of your favorite stories!

Cozy day, everyone :)

My name is Susan L. Marshall and I am an Australian contemporary author, who loves cozy mysteries. July 2024, saw the release of "Adira and the Dark Horse," my first novel in the 'An Adira Cazon Literary Mystery' series. It is a cozy mystery, which I really enjoyed writing.
One of the things I love about cozy mysteries, is the intimacy we feel when we get to know the town, the characters and the life that evolves. Would any of you agree that it makes us feel more connected to the characters?

Hi Everyone, I'm Hazel. If I'm not working (in a water sports centre), I'm on the water, or in the water, (unintentionally a lot of the time) or reading. They're a strange lot, the on the water set. You can get soaked through on a water ski, yet should you fall in, the first thing asked when you come ashore is, "Get wet, then?"
My favourite books are thrillers that make good sense and books that I can learn from.

Hello everyone!! I am Vanessa and I love reading mystery books since I was a little girl and can't wait to see all of your opinion and recommendations. :)

Hi! My name is Mara and I live in Colorado. I am an avid reader and discovered this group while searching for a book club. I enjoy the cozy mystery genre and I look forward to discussing these books and discovering new ones to enjoy.

Hi, I'm Emma or M.
I'm not too keen on the world we are living in. Books are my escape. I yearn for the world we had between the two wars.

Hi, I'm Faye.

I joined GR today. I live in Britain and am starting to become more and more of a bookworm.

Hi! I'm Mariah - This year I really got back into reading and I'm excited to continue my reading journey! Also, anyone can add me here on GR :-)

I live on the outskirts of Glasgow. At present, I'm mostly reading of life, both fiction and non-fiction in the modern European era and spending time hill walking.

hii, my name is Anneke and i'm from Belgium in Europe and i love to read 😊. The cozy mystery genre is one of my favorites. I'm a cat mom and married. When i'm not hiking or biking, i'm cooking or baking some deliciousness and reading as much as i can. Currently hooked on the mandalorian tv show tho (totally unrelated 😄)

Hi! I’m new. I read a lot and never knew about cozy mysteries until I started to write one for Kindle Vella. Then I got interested as I found old friends who were now writing cozies. It’s a nice comforting thing to write as well as to read.

Hi ! Happy to be here - I have been a cozy mystery reader since before I knew they were called cozy mysteries . I am from Ohio - a college student - finally finishing my B.S. I crochet, listen to true crime podcasts and read !

Hi! I am Clara from the UK! I am 14 years old and I love reading thrillers and mysteries, the odd forbidden romance and just romance in general! I am very keen on sharing my reading adventures with you all and I am enthusiastic to meet you all!

LOL At first glance, I read this as "finishing my B.S. in crochet," and wondered where on earth you'd get a degree in crocheting :)

Welcome to the group, everyone!

Hi guys. Masoodah here! I love curling up with a good mystery/thriller book every now and then so looking foward to taking part in discussions and finding new mystery books.

I also like YA, Fantasy and contemporary romance.

Will be taking part in challenges as I love a challenge! :)

Hi y'all! I'm Karen and I live in Texas. I'm a wife, mom, grandma, dog mom and book addict. No seriously, I'm a huge book addict and when I find an author I love I end up reading everything they put out!

When not reading I love to paint - don't claim to be Van Gogh but it brings me joy. When the husband is involved we are either cruising, fishing/camping, riding side by sides or hanging out with the family. We have a large family so family time usually revolves around one of the aforementioned activities.

My fav genre to read is psychological thrillers with paranormal/cozy mysteries a close second. I tend to bounce around a lot when reading - and life - so one day I may be reading whatever holiday we are close to with the next day reading something dark and demented LOL. I love the feel and smell of a traditional book but due to how fast I read and as much as we are away from the house I have transitioned to the Kindle/Books app on my iPad as the husband complains enough about the luggage I bring just housing the necessities to function daily, he would never survive me trying to bring all the books needed to make a week or longer away from the house :p.

I'm happy to be here and an open book so feel free to reach out if you have questions!!! I can't wait to see what the group has going on!!!

OK, I will hush now and end the novel of a simple intro :p

Hi,
I'm Mary from Northern Ireland, U.K. I like most genres but thrillers and fiction are my favourite. Would like new book friends so feel free to add friend me. Will add back.
Thankyou!

Hi, I'm Morgan from South Carolina!

** I like mystery, thriller, fiction, and autobiographies. My favorite place to read is on my cozy back porch - with the string lights on, curled in a blanket, and surrounded by a million plants.

** I'm a pet mom of two senior dogs and two senior cats. They're the children I never had and I love it!

** When not reading I am traveling, volunteering, and finding adventurous places to see within a 1-3 hour drive from my home.

Hi I’m Suzanne from a small town in the shores of Lake Erie in Canada. I enjoy cozy mysteries as a break from my work and those heavier contemporary and historical fiction reads. I love to travel, exploring the outdoors on foot or in a kayak, learning new things and spend my summers in my flower and vegetable garden.

Hiya, my name is Nadine!

I live in Colorado, USA. I love mysteries, thrillers, and the cozy aesthetic and lifestyle. I've tried a few cozy mystery books, but in my humble opinion, 80%+ of the books I find are not well-written. Just because something is cozy - doesn't mean it should have a stale plot, bad editing, or a predictable ending! If anyone, author, or reader has any suggestions, please let me know! Bonus points if it's available on Libby or Hoopla.

I read the rules and didn't see anything against personal social media promo; feel free to add me on Instagram @jeeze_ruiz

I am reading kite shop. I joined this group today

Hello all,
My name is Feras. I like to read about anything falls under my eyes. But, mostly I prefer the mystery with the twisted ending. In some cases, I like to read the book and watch the movie and make comparison which one is better, and mostly reading the book is much better.
I also like to watch movies of all genres. The best movie I ever watched (many many times) is The Matrix. I like to go the gym and I’m addicted on coffee

If you loved Harry Potter, Berserk, The Witcher, and Lord of the Rings, I think you might like "Blood of the Heir: Volume 1" by I. Constantine.

A dragon takes Cedric to another world where endless rain floods the lands and monsters are treated like gods. He needs to find a way back and survive while bearing the title instigator of battle, as ancient devils locked into their old prison escaped at the same time with Cedric's arrival.

Hello, everyone! I'm Anusha, a third-year university student pursuing Computer Science Engineering. I have a ton of hobbies—I love painting, cooking, baking, running marathons, doing makeup, and, most importantly, reading. My love for books started back in 7th grade when I first picked up *Percy Jackson*, and I’ve been hooked ever since! I mostly read fiction, especially YA and thrillers, so if you have any recommendations, send them my way!

Hello Everyone, I'm Jennifer from Colorado. I have been a lifelong reader (even earned an English Lit degree many years ago ) and currently work in a middle school library.

Hi! I’m Liz! I’m from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴. I’m a momma of an awesome kid and a close friend to many. I’m single and loving it. Did I say that out loud? Ha! I’m a license professional counselor who is making self-care her priority. Reading a cozy mystery is how I enjoy spending some alone time. I have been off the wagon of reading for a while but I recently found my way back. It feels good to lose oneself in the many possibilities that reading provides.

hello there, i was just exploring groups in goodreads and how they work (so far very confusing lol)

Hey everyone! I’m looking to connect with fellow book lovers and make new reading friends! I recently started a book club called The Book Circle, where we chat about different genres, swap recommendations, and share memes and fun bookish content. If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, I’d love to hear your thoughts and connect! I would love to chat with everyone there and make friends :)

Morning all. I thought I would post here and this is a reintroduction of myself if you like as I have not been here for some time and I really kind of missed this. So, my name is Andrew. I love books. I had a good clear up, bit of organisation of my good reads profile, removing books and really just starting fresh i.e. adding books as I read them. Anyway, as I am not as busy as I used to be I intend keeping tabs on what's going on here and really grateful for this platform.

Good morning! This is my first time joining Goodreads. I am very thrilled to be a part of this.

Hello! So happy to be here among cozy mystery lovers! I do most of my reading via audiobooks and I wish there were more hours in the day so I could listen to more :)
