I love the G.A. McKevett series! Savannah is great. And I'd send you but I already sent it to someone else. I really like the Benni Harper series. (Of course, I like a LOT of series! LOL)

[Caroline]

I just did "reserve in store" at Borders for 9 books coming out today. I'll be reading A Killer Plot, Toast Mortem, A Cast-Off Coven, Night of the Living Deed, Grace Under Pressure, Reel Murder, Death in Show, Skein of the Crime and Junkyard Dogs (that one came out 27 May but I hadn't bought it yet). That should last me a couple days at least. LOL!

[Nicola]

Hi Everyone, Is a good book? I have read the series and liked it, and I am not sure whether I should get this book in hardback or wait until it comes out in paperback (my library can't get hold of a copy) - I could buy 4 paperbacks for the price of a hardback, decisions, decisions!

I don't care for this series, but if you're thinking about buying it you might check www.half.com. You can buy it brand new on there starting at $5.93. I buy a lot of stuff on there and have never had a problem.

[Heidi]

You don't like the series Melodie? I have the first one in my tbr pile.

[Melodie]

Heidi wrote: "You don't like the series Melodie? I have the first one in my tbr pile."

I read the first 2 and that was enough for me. I didn't care for the main character and the coffee talk didn't do a thing for me as I don't like coffee.

[Kelley]

Regarding the Cleo Coyle series, I didn't like it either. I read the first one and didn't like the main character and nothing about the series was engaging. Maybe it's because I don't drink coffee, but I read lots of cozies where I am not a participant of the main back story.

[Julia]

The next for me is Uncommon Grounds by Sandra Balzo. I read the 3rd in the series first, so now I'm going back to pick up the first.

[Heidi]

Thanks for the info on the Cleo series everyone. I will be skipping it because I am pretty picky!

[Nicola]

I think that I'll wait until the book is out on paperback! Now to decide what to get next :)

[Susie]

My next book will be Body Movers by Stephanie Bond. It just arrived from PBS and I don't feel like merging it into my bookshelf...so I might as well read it ;)

[Denise]

Well, let me put my 2 cents worth in the mix, I really like the series and I'm no longer a coffee drinker. I've read the first four of them and have liked them all. The only thing I can say is the relationship that the protagonist, Clare Cosi, and her ex-husband has is rather unbelievable.

[Melissa]

I'm getting ready to start "Envious Casca" by Georgette Heyer and next on the list is "Pretty In Ink" a Tattoo Shop Mystery by Karen E. Olson. I really enjoyed the first in the series and am looking forward to this one.

The 2nd Tattoo Shop mystery is even better than the first one!

Ooh, I like this series. Let us know what you think of Canaan's Gate. Enjoy!

[Heidi]

Up next I have and my June read , now I just need to decide which one is first!

[Marisa, Cozy Mysteries Assistant Moderator]

I'm hesitating between The Dark Place and The Witch of Agnesi. I've liked a lot Fellowship of Fear but math and cozy, hum...

Melodie said exactly what I was going to say...that the second tatoo mystery is better than the first. Great minds...and all that :)

[Caroline]

See, I have no interest in tattoos. But I like the Cleo Coyle coffeehouse mysteries as well as the Sandra Balzo ones. (I have Starbucks listed as my emergency contact/blood type). Cleo Coyle is Alice Kimberly and both are husband/wife team Alice Alfonsi and Marc Cerasini. I think a lot of series can be good/bad depending on yr personal preferences. But sometimes good writing makes up for a topic I'm not into.

[Marisa, Cozy Mysteries Assistant Moderator]

I'm not so sure. I love coffee (expresso, not Starbucks --Spanish, you know ;) ) but I haven't been able to read Cleo Coyle mysteries. However, I don't like tattoos at all and I've liked a lot the series. Perhaps interests helps, but at the ends it's the writing for me.

[Melodie]

That's the ultimate reason I don't care for the Coffee Shop books. I don't like the writing or the characters. Clare's relationship with her ex-husband is just too out there for me to believe, too. I don't like tea, but I like the Tea Shop books. And I don't have a tattoo either (but I think they're fascinating and my niece is close to talking me into one!) but I really like the tattoo shop books.

[Caroline]

Well, I don't knit but I'm reading Skein of the Crime. I love Maggie Sefton, like the CO setting and enjoy Carl chasing golf balls and Kelly and her friends. LOL I guess it's good we all like different books so that keeps a lot of authors in business. : )

[Courtney]

I read all of the Coffeehouse Mysteries. I started questioning whether or not I wanted to continue the series while reading Espresso Shot. I finished that one and started Holiday Grind. I didn't finish that one and gave up on the series.

[Courtney]

Next I think I will work on the Blackbird Sisters series by Nancy Martin. I've read the first How to Murder a Millionaire. It was okay. I liked enough that I wanted to give it at least one more chance. The next book in the series is Dead Girls Don't Wear Diamonds.

[Erin L]

Next up for me will be Seven Up and The Eyre Affair

I have a few to finish first though. Revenge of the spellmans, Knots and Crosses (Inspector Rebus) and Anne of Avonlea.

[Heidi]

Erin I am so jealous that you are on your first run through of Stephanie Plum! p.s. have you read the Anne series before, or is this your first read through?

I liked the Blackbird Sisters books. Too bad it looks like she's done with them.

I have read 4 of Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series. It is a little odd (actually a lot odd) and takes some getting used to. It's not a series that I rush right out when the next book comes in. In fact, I still have First Among Sequels to read.

There is another series that I tried to read by Kasey Michaels. The main character, Maggie Kelly, is a mystery writer and the characters in her books came to life. I took the book back, I just could not get into the story line at all. (If you are interested the first book in the series is Maggie Needs An Alibi

I thought I was reading them for the first time, but Anne of Avonlea is just too familiar so I must have picked it up and read it at some point in the past.

[Courtney]

I'm on the fourth one in the Anne of Green Gables series. I know I read the first one and watched the movie as a child, but I don't think I had read the rest of them.

[Heidi]

I own the first two Anne of Green Gables movies that were on PBS with Meagan Follows as Anne(love her!) and I have a nice hardcover with the first three books. I also used to watch that Disney show Tales from Avonlea, and actually just re-watched all seven seasons that I got from the library.

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

I loved the Anne books, though I honestly don't remember if I read them all. Might have to do a reread sometime. I have the two movies, but only caught a few eps of the series when it originally aired. It seemed like a good show.

[Heidi]

Super excited to find out today that my libraries overdrive is allowing people to check out the audiobook for , even though it hasn't been released yet! I am putting my name on the wish list and hope to get it before the release date! Yeah :)

Thanks for the followup. The Bay Tanner series is most enjoyable. I'm putting Canaan's Gate on the never ending list! I'm glad you enjoyed the book.

[Melodie]

Just started .

[Caroline]

Finished Skein of the Crime (Sefton), finished Death at the Alma Mater (Malliet) and have now gone back to . So far, I'm really enjoying it! Then I have a bunch more I started and got sidetracked and need to finish... and Night of the Living Deed

[Susie]

As soon as I finish Body Movers I plan to start Consigned to Death

[Suzanne]

I've got to decide between -

.

Hmmmmm........all 3 are on my nook which is in my car. I live on the third floor of my apartment building so I don't feel like going to get it. Think I'll listen to until tomorrow.

[Courtney]

I'm thinking I'll read one of these. They're all part of a series I'm trying to finish.

[Melodie]

Suzanne wrote: "I've got to decide between -

I've read all 3 and I'd go with TRESSED TO KILL!

[Kaye]

Grace Under Pressure by Julie Hyzy is the next one on my cozy list. I liked Julie's Whitehouse Chef mysteries so I'm hoping this one ( first in her Manor House mystery series) is going to be as good.

[Erin L]

Next up for me will be

I really want to finish up the Stephanie Plum series, but I only own up to Seven Up right now and after picking up about 10-15 books on the weekend at garage sales and from my sister in law, I've got a lot of reading to do before I can buy any more with a clear conscience.

[Caroline]

Finished which I loved. Also A Killer Plot (loved that too!). Now reading a non-cozy but the next cozies I have to read are and

[Heidi]

Is that talk radio series good?

I just finished a quick reread of CLUB DEAD last week for the new season of True Blood. I know the show will only very loosely have anything to do with the book, but wanted to refresh my memory about some of the stuff that happened. It was every bit as good the second time around. Rereading is something I almost never do, but have made an exception for the Sookie books because of True Blood.

[Melodie]

Heidi wrote: "Is that talk radio series good?"

I read the first one and thought it was kind of so-so. But I'm giving it another try with the new book, which I have but haven't touched yet.

[Sukhi]

is next on my list.

But hopefully, I'll get before that. I really want to read it for this month.

[Heidi]

Thanks Melodie. I will wait to see what you think of book 2.

[Courtney]

For my next audiobook I am choosing between by the fabulous Mary Higgins Clark or The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown.
