message 901: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (sarah2323) I am reading my way through JB Stanley and Ellery Adams. I am in book 2 of the Collectibles series and have Written in Stone on deck too along with book 3 for the Collectibles. I would like to tackle the Hope Street Church mysteries. Then I want to finish up the Coffeehouse mysteries by Cleo Coyle!

The "Cruisin' Thru the Cozies Challenge" is also a group here on Goodreads, as is the "Cozy Mystery Alphabet Challenge". Just go to groups and enter one of those names. Hope that helps!

I read it and found many things to like, but many things irritating to the extreme. Not sure I'll read the third one as the second one didn't much improve...

Just finished it too, Jennifer and you're right about all the irritating things, especially the ending. Ay yi yi - too ridiculous!


message 913: by Barb (new)

Barb | 1192 comments When I finish the (non-cozy) that I'm reading now, I'll start either A Hoe Lot of Trouble or The Parrot Talks In Chocolate. I have both here waiting for me, although the first is due back at the library soon.

It's a shame too, because I love the bookstore setting and the psychic stuff, but it's just not done very well.

Nice list! Have read several on your list. Love Diane Kelly's Death & Taxes series, as well as the Jenn McKinlay book, MURDER FOR CHOIR and the Magical Dressmaking book. Not so much THE AZALEA ASSAULT and WHEN THE COOKIE CRUMBLES. Also have BEWITCHED, BOTHERED & BISCOTTI and ARSENIC AND OLD CAKE coming up soon!

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 130 comments Hmm I'm not sure what cozy I want to read next. I am listening to The Uncommon Appeal of Clouds by Alexander McCall Smith which is the latest in this series (I've already read his No 1 Ladies Detective Agency series). I am also almost finished the Janet Evanovich series. Now I'm looking for another cozy series to start, but there are SO many options I can't make a decision!


message 928: by Kim (new)

Kim (catmommie) Manhattans & Murder (Murder, She Wrote, #2) by Jessica Fletcher In the Bleak Midwinter (Rev. Clare Fergusson & Russ Van Alstyne Mysteries, #1) by Julia Spencer-Fleming Strawberry Shortcake Murder (Hannah Swensen, #2) by Joanne Fluke for the end of January and February.

Are you looking for an older series with lots of books to read, or a newer series that you can catch up on quickly?

Probably a newer series so I can catch up quickly. I have some older series on my TBR but am intimidated by trying to read all 12 or so books to catch up.



message 931: by Barb (new)

Barb | 1192 comments Then you might want to look into any of the series by Jenn McKinlay. She has one series with 5 books, another with 3 books, and a new one starting later this year :)

Another new series is Connie Archer's Soup Lovers series. The second book is due out in April.

Would you also be interested in older but shorter series? Series that have ended after maybe 4-5 books?

Jenn McKinlay also writes the Good Buy Girls series as Josie Belle!

Thanks! Just added the first of both of Jenn McKinlay's series. And yes it doesn't matter to me if the series is new or not, I just feel intimidated trying to catch up with so many.

I started reading Sue Grafton's novels a couple years ago, but am having trouble catching up to her. I love her books but I just have so many thing I want to read.

Thanks!

I know that feeling LOL When I have a bit of extra time, I'll go through my list of series and post those that have only 5-6 books. Or maybe I'll PM the list to you, Rebecca, so as not to clutter up the board here.

Thank you so much! I just requested the first of Jenn McKinlay's books from the library. I'm excited to start a new couples series! My cozy mystery reading has definitely been lacking recently and I need to get into more.

I did. It was pretty good, but still think the 2nd one is the best in the series.

Both are excellent - I would give the cupcake series a slight edge.
