Kaye, I read Farm Fresh Murder and liked it enough that I would read the second book.

I've used Bookfinder.com a few times, when I couldn't find what I needed on Abebooks, but I find that site is not quite as user friendly or intuitive to me - and it's results usually end up sending me back to Abebooks or Alibris anyway. Abebooks is nice for me as well, because I tell it I'm in AU and it converts to AU dollar and calculates shipping right at the listing level - so I can take shipping costs into account when deciding which copy I should buy. But bookfinder has been a great resource for me a time or two when I was looking for something that turned out to be obscure.

I didn't think I would like this series as much as I do. I have the third one on my Cruz and I am really looking forward to reading it.

Sue (suetinge) | 622 comments I'm debating between two Agatha Christies - Postern of Fate or The Murder of Roger Ackroyd or else The Secret History of the Pink Carnation.


message 374: by Wendy (new)

Wendy | 2 comments Anyone read Simon Lucas' The Chicken Shak Spy? Received a recommendation but don't know much about it.


message 375: by Caroline (new)

Caroline | 661 comments Okay. Finished A Decadent Way To Die by G. A. McKevett and really enjoyed it! Great ending! Was going to start Killer on a Hot Tin Roof but instead jumped into Force of Habit first in a new series by Alice Loweecey. I'm 3/4th of the way through already and really liking it. Will read KoaHTR after that. : )

I was not loving this Savannah Reid story until the end. Now I have to hang around for the next one!


message 377: by Caroline (new)

Caroline | 661 comments I think you'd like Force of Habit too, Melodie, if you want to give it a try. : ) If you don't have it, soon as I finish, I'll put it up for swap.


message 378: by Priscilla (new)

Priscilla | 127 comments Just started Thyme of Death (China Bayles, #1) by Susan Wittig Albert , wanted to read this for a while. Reading as part of the Feb month theme challenge... Love the setting, all the cute shops!

I don't have it and it looks like a good one! I'll look for it on the swap! Thanks, Caroline!

Me too! I'vebeeen wanting to start SWA for awhile and when I saw your post, it clicked! Thank you!


message 382: by Mary (Biblophile) (new)

Mary  (Biblophile) | 4610 comments I'll probably read TRESSED TO KILL by Lila Dare. That's new author for me and the first in The Southern Beauty Shop series.

Someday I'll have to figure out to post those little books, although it's very difficult to read the titles.


message 383: by Caroline (new)

Caroline | 661 comments Currently on Killer on a Hot Tin Roof by Livia J. Washburn and then plan to read Drip Dead (Georgiana Neverall, #3) by Christy Evans . And, Melodie, Force of Habit is on the way -dropped it in the mailbox this morning.

TRESSED TO KILL is a good one! To add book covers or titles with hyperlinks, just click on "add book/author" at the top of the comment box. Then type in the book name. When the books come up you can click at the bottom of that box to make it just the title or cover. As for the covers being hard to read, if you put your cursor over the cover it will give you the title & author.

Lynne (gwenalynne) | 4 comments I need to choose between, Curiosity Thrilled the Cat and The Trouble With Witches.


message 386: by Caroline (new)

Caroline | 661 comments Just starting Ghost Ship (Port Chatham Series #2) by P. Alderman but next up after that is Aunt Dimity and the Family Tree (Aunt Dimity, #16) by Nancy Atherton . I'm actually a little nervous about that one. Some of the Aunt Dimity books have been annoying to me but some have been really good (imho) so I've kept with the series. Down Under was good so I'm hoping this next one will be too.

At least that's a better cover - I think the last few were downright weird. Let us know what you think of this one.


message 388: by Caitlin (new)

Caitlin C (caitkom) | 199 comments I have high expectations for myself! I am starting Vows, Vendettas and a Little Black Dress by Kyra Davis , Murder on the Eiffel Tower (Victor Legris, #1) by Claude Izner and Absolutely, Positively (Lucy Valentine, #3) by Heather Webber on my Cruz! Also soon to be starting On What Grounds (Coffeehouse Mystery, #1) by Cleo Coyle for the March challenge. I don't know why I can't just read one at a time!


message 389: by Sue (new)

Sue (suetinge) | 622 comments I think next up for me will be Fatally Flaky (A Goldy Bear Culinary Mystery, #15) by Diane Mott Davidson


message 390: by Kaye (new)


message 391: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (mgauffant) | 63 comments I'm going to start Roast Mortemby Cleo Coyle.
It's been my favorite Cozy series so far!


message 392: by Susie (new)

Susie Fevella (susieinks) | 821 comments I'm still trying to catch up on the China Bayles series by Susan Wittig Albert. So my next book up is a library book Holly Blues (China Bayles, #18) by Susan Wittig Albert .


message 393: by Caroline (new)

Caroline | 661 comments Kaye - Aunt Dimity and the Family Tree was pretty good. (whew! that's a relief) I got a bunch of books today so have stuff to read for a week or so. I think I'll read A Touch of Gold by Joyce and Jim Lavene and A Deadly Cliché (A Books by the Bay Mystery, #2) by Ellery Adams next after I finish Death of a Lovable Geek A Dotsy Lamb Travel Mystery (Five Star Mystery Series) by Maria Hudgins

One of these days I'm going to have to catch up on the Aunt Dimity series and I loved Ellery Adams's first book, Killer Plot, so definitely want to read Killer cliche.


message 395: by alicia (new)

alicia grant (shesha556) Not sure when i'll actually get to it but the next cozy is Absolutely, Positively


message 396: by Caroline (new)

Caroline | 661 comments Bought some new books today (see "latest cozy splurge" thread) and now have to decide which to read next. Think I'll start with Night of the Living Dandelion (Flower Shop Mystery, #11) by Kate Collins or The Cat, the Lady and the Liar (Cats in Trouble, #3) by Leann Sweeney . Decisions, decisions! LOL
