What book is next on your cozy reading list?

Shannon wrote: "I'm deciding between Buttercream Bump Off or Two for the Dough. Thoughts?!"Just to make your decision harder: I'd pick Two for the Dough. That's the book that really got me hooked on the Plum series.
That said, both books are really good and entertaining, so you can't really go wrong.
I'd go with Two for the Dough. I wasn't a huge fan of Buttercream Bump-off even though I really liked the first in that series.
I need to read these three for review/giveaway. Tossed up as to where to start.

I know what I'll be in for reading the Coyle book but the other two are new series. Eeny meeny miney . . . . .

Thank you for the recommendation. This sounds like a series I'd like to try!!Nola wrote: "Heather L wrote: "Nola wrote: "LOVED Farm Fresh Murder"

Kaye. read Cleo Coyle's book first.I love her Coffeehouse Mysteries!! I'm in the middle of
right noe. I think I have read about 5 of her books so far and have really enjoyed everyone. I'm going to try to go to the library soon and get some more of her books.I'm also reading
and this book which is not a cozy.
Kaye: If you haven't started one yet, and to make your choice more difficult, I;m casting my vote for the forutne telling book. *g*

So many books! but I've read the openings of the following & am trying decide which one to finish first (they all start well):
I wish I didn't have to choose! But
is due back at the library tomorrow so I'll probably try to read it tonight (while watching the 6th Harry Potter-my daughter & I are doing a rewatch of the series in preparation for seeing the final one-*sniffle*-Saturday.
After the few I'm currently working on, I have
to read and a couple more I guess I'm going to have to order from Amazon since I can't seem to find them at B&N or Borders around here.

I couldn't get into the first Flavia book either.

I saw Deathly Hallows Part 2 this morning. It was awesome! I did sniffle in a few places though.

[bookcover:Murder on a Girl..."My nieces and nephew were all planning to catch the midnight show last night. Don't know if they did. I read the first 4 books and then quit reading them when she started writing "doorstops"! Saw the first 2 movies and parts of the one Rob Pattinson was in, don't know which one that was.
Donna: I imagine I'll be sniffly in a few spots as well, when I finally get to it, hopefully next weekend or the week after. I imagien this one will be in theaters a while. I saw on tonight's news that it set opening day records. No surprise there, right?
Melodie: I was a bit daunted by the size of the last three books, too, but they read unbelievably fast. I read each one in only 2-3 days.

I guess that's dedication!
Just thought I'd mention that Old Murders Never Die is on the Giveaway right now.If I'm not supposed to post these kinds of things, would someone puleease let me know? Thank you.

Well, there have been a few experiences in my past... *G* I do hope it's as good as it sounds.

Since Borders is closing and Barnes and Noble has gone more e-books, I'm going to have to start pre-ordering on Amazon. I just hate that because I'm anal about my bank account and sometimes you don't know when the debit will hit your account (whenever they mail them).

I buy Amazon gift cards at the grocery store, my grocery gives extra points on gift cards for gas discounts, and use them for all my Amazon purchases. That way I don't need to worry about when it might hit my debit or credit card.

I really enjoyed
. I'm a bit behind on the 3 Pines series and need to get caught up. The setting is great and Gamache is a terrific character as are the other residents of the village. The stories are always first rate in this top notch series.
Thanks, Melodie. I've heard Gamache is a great character and the setting is wonderful--the two things I look for most in a mystery series. I guess I have some more books to add to my TBR pile!
I'm also a fan of the Gamache series. I want to recommend them to everyone I know - even if they don't read mysteries. LOL
Thanks for the suggestions about online places to buy books. Good idea about gift cards, Melodie! There are several places that give me points and I should check them to see if I can get Amazon gift cards - that would be terrific!I love the Three Pines series (Louise Penny's Armand Gamache books). I've been lucky enough to meet Louise and her husband and they're such terrific people - I'm really glad for her success.
Just finished a couple books I was reading and now will go back to
which I had started but didn't want to end too quickly so postponed reading through it right away. LOL Then I'll go to
. I enjoy the Andy Carpenter series (and I love dogs).
So many great recommendations! My TBR list is growing... lolHas anyone read
? I have received a copy of this book..but havent started it yet.

Caroline, how did you like the pizza book? That's a series I thought about starting and would like your opinion. Thanks!
