Marja McGraw (marja1) | 994 comments I wasn't sure where to post this, so I hope it's okay to put it here. I just finished a Book Trailer for Old Murders Never Die and it's up on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTBOpz... . If anyone has a moment, I think some of you might like it. This was my first attempt and I actually think it turned out pretty good. I'm always open to suggestions though. The only problem I had was the font on some old photos. I couldn't find a good color that worked. ??

Kaye (momgee) | 862 comments I just watched it and thought you did a great job!


message 611: by Ellen (new)

Ellen (elliearcher) Next up: Murder on Waverly Place (Gaslight Series #11) by Victoria Thompson , just arrived from *sniffle* BookSwap. Then one of the Carola Dunn I borrowed from the library. Probably Death at Wentwater Court (Daisy Dalrymple, #1) by Carola Dunn or Gunpowder Plot (Daisy Dalrymple, #15) by Carola Dunn .

Of course, I also promised myself Murder on Waverly Place (Gaslight Series #11) by Victoria Thompson and Mai Tai One On (Tiki Goddess, #1) by Jill Marie Landis . So one of these will be it.

I just can't keep up with all the good stuff I hear about in this group!

Thanks, Kaye! Now if I can just figure out how to get it more traffic. I'm just not all that computer literate.

Linda My love for Dancing with the Stars prompted me to buy Quickstep to Murder (a ballroom dance mystery), the first in a new series. The reviews look promising, so I'm anxious to start it ~

Naomi (tribalcat) | 307 comments I'm reading Sue Grafton's T is for Trespass now (already read U), and next up are Cream Puff Murder, Plum Pudding Murder, Apple Turnover Murder, and Devil's Food Cake Murder to get me caught up with Joanne Fluke's books. They make me so hungry!

T is one of Grafton's best, I thought. Enjoy all the Fluke books!

Happy Reading, Melodie! It sounds like a fun read, but then Gayle's books always are.

Karen M | 1436 comments Ummm, I sort of started Track of the Cat yesterday because I was at the dentist and one of my other books is on my notebook and the other is a hardcover and it was raining really hard. Anyway, I won't read any more until Tuesday when I go back to the dentist again so I guess this is my next cozy.

Katherine I've read all three of Julie Hyzy's White House Chef series so thought I'd try her Manor House Mysteries. Started Grace Under Pressure Grace Under Pressure (A Manor of Murder Mystery, #1) by Julie Hyzy the other day and it is pretty easy reading. Not very unlike the other series though--just the characters and setting has changed.

Melodie, I've got that one on my Kindle Wish List...so I'm curious to see if you like it!

Linda The next cozy on my list is Death by the Dozen (Cupcake Bakery Mystery, #3) by Jenn McKinlay , by Jenn McKinlay. It's the third in the cupcake bakery series, and I loved the first two so I'm anxious to dive into this one ~

The cover is luscious. Cozy mysteries, above all, have the most intriguing covers!

I <3 Agatha. The first book I was kinda surprised at and not too impressed with her, but I got used to her by the end and had to see what would happen. I think I'm most swayed by the fact that I can see character development in Agatha throughout the series. She's growing and learning and changing and that's the point.

I agree on both counts. The covers and titles always make me smile. :-)


message 641: by Jackie (new)

Jackie Next cozies for me are Cat on the Scent (Mrs. Murphy, #7) by Rita Mae Brown and Crossed Bones (Sarah Booth Delaney, #4) by Carolyn Haines . I enjoy both of these series.

Read this one years ago! Had to sleep with the lights on for awhile!

M. (saylor) | 3 comments I just found The Case of the Baker Street Irregulars at a used book store. I don't know if it's still in print but I'm very excited to start it because the actual Baker Street Group was referenced both in The Murder Room and The Sherlockian. Very cool.

I hope you like it. I generally enjoy this series, but this one left a lot to be desired, IMHO. Hoping the next one is better.
