I wasn't impressed either. I think I stopped around the 3rd chapter.

I request a lot of them through the intralibrary loan program. My local library doesn't have a lot either but if it's in a library anywhere in FL, they can get it for me. The only drawback is I never know how long it's going to take and I have to go to the library to request them. ( can't do it online)

alicia grant (shesha556) Next one on my list will be Truly, Madly (Lucy Valentine, #1) by Heather Webber

Let us know how you like this one Janet! I wasn't sure if I should try it or not. We seem to agree on quite a few books ;)


message 309: by AmyD (new)

AmyD (justamyd) | 25 comments Next one for me is probably Knitting Bones, by Monica Ferris (#10). My library is busting at the seams with cozies, I worked there for 3 years a couple of years ago and loved it.

I finished and enjoyed reading 'Homicide in Hardcover'It was a strange one though. The writing style didnt match the theme of the book at all. The story wasnt bad, but I think I expected more.. I enjoyed it but it was one of my slower reads Homicide In Hardcover (A Bibliophile Mystery, #1) by Kate Carlisle

I'm one of people who really likes the Bibliophile series. I like Brooklyn & her quirky family.

❂ Murder by Death  (murderbydeath) The bibliophiles mysteries are on of my favorites at the moment. So much so that I've found a book restoration class I'm signing up for. :)

message 316: by Priscilla (new)

Priscilla | 127 comments I think I will read Witch Hunt (Ophelia & Abby, #4) by Shirley Damsgaard next. I picked this one up from the library after really enjoying The Trouble With Witches which was the first book I read by this author.So I hope the this one is good too!

They're my favorite :) the first cozy I ever picked out on my own was This Pen For Hire and I've been hooked ever since! I'm surprised they're not more popular.


message 323: by Paula (new)

Paula | 104 comments I agree Peytavi, I don't hear a lot of people reading them but I think she's gaining more popularity. I think lists like these help a lot.

Enjoy Louise Penny's book - I love her series. Are you doing the W & P read a long in the blogisphere? I know some bloggers are reading a chapter a day for a year.

Susie Fevella (susieinks) | 821 comments Up next for me is Mortar and Murder (A Do-It-Yourself Mystery, #4) by Jennie Bentley AKA Bente Gallagher . This is a fun series.


message 333: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (jhaltenburger) I'm going to go back and forth between madelyn Alt's bewitched mysteries ( just read the first) and finishing off m c beaton. I gave myself a "batting cleanup" challenge this year to finish off some authors I'd read almost all of, and she is one of them.

Sue T, Both books are good, but I really enjoyed The Darling Dahlias and the Cucumber Tree. I loved the fact it was set in the '30s and in the south. It was very vivid.

I resisted reading this series for years because of the cheesy covers. Then, one day, I couldn't find many books I wanted to read at the library, so I borrowed it out of desperation. I'm glad I did, like the series.


message 340: by Sue (new)

Sue (suetinge) | 622 comments I think my next will be Dark Tort (A Goldy Bear Culinary Mystery, #13) by Diane Mott Davidson for the pink/red cover.

Aileen - I'm in Australia too and when I'm looking for books no longer in print, I find http://www.abebooks.com usually has a selection of them at all prices from book sellers everywhere. They all have different shipping costs to AU too, so you can sometimes find the book cheap, even after factoring in shipping.

Thanks! I'll check it out. So hard to find a good range of books in Australian bookshops, I find.


❂ Murder by Death  (murderbydeath) Aileen - for me it's not only the range, but, coming from the US, the prices nearly gave me a stroke. :) I end up buying very few books here b/c it's simply too expensive to support my book habit buying locally. I rely on bookdepository.com, abebooks.com, thriftbooks.com and amazon, even though I'd love to be able to support an independent bookshop locally. Hope abebooks has what you're looking for... cheers! :)


message 346: by Aileen (new)

Aileen Jennifer, so true. The prices are absurd. Who can afford to spend $20 - $30 for every book?? it really sux. I find paying postage to have books shipped new from Amazon is still significantly cheaper (ie about 2/3 of the price) of buying them new at a local bookshop. Its disgusting.

Kaye (momgee) | 862 comments I need to read The Matchmaker of Kenmare by Frank Delaney for review and then I'll start Fruit of All Evil (A Farmers' Market Mystery) by Paige Shelton

Paige is a new-to-me author so I don't know what to expect. Has anyone read this series? Any thoughts?


message 348: by Shirley (new)
