What Cozy are You Reading in 2016?
Nell I have read the first two books and really enjoyed them is there a big difference? Do you know if switching back and forth?
It is looking liking like I am over my reading slump. About to start
. Hope it is a good one.
Thanks Julsey and Nell. Know both authors and their work. Will be interesting to compare.I am reading
for my bingo group and so far love it. In fact taking day off from yard work just to enjoy this book all day. I'm also reading
but was glad to have bingo challenge book to read. Waiting in the wings is
. Hope that is as good as Town in a Strawberry Swirl

jaxnsmom, I am really enjoying Mr, Tea and the Traveling Tea Cup.
I think it's time to return to the cozy mystery genera. I'm starting the book A Witch Before Dying by Heather Blake. After the last two books I finished I think I need something on the lighter side of life.
Just finished Once Upon a Grind
, now reading Death's Half Acre
. Trying to knock out some missing books in a couple series. Have also read Magic and Macaroons
and One Book in the Grave
.

I read
Here Today, Gone Tamale: A Taste of Texas Mystery for a task in a challenge. I wonder if it fits one of the 2000 member one. I really liked it. Now it's time to get back to Off Kilter :~D

I just found Molly Macrea's Last Wool and Testament. I rather enjoyed it. I have read a few better but it was good enough it kept me guessing. There were a few things that I felt the author rushed through, but hoping in the subsequent books she delves into them. Looking forward to reading the rest of them

This week, I read and enjoyed:
Murder Most Fowl by Edith Maxwell
A Muddied Murder by Wendy Tyson
Just finished reading To Brew or Not to Brew. What a great start to a new series. I really enjoyed this book. The characters were great and I liked the setting. One thing I learned is that there are many different beers out there, more than I just thought. (Not typically a beer drinker.) This book was a 3.5 stars for me but gonna round up to 4 stars because I am looking forward to the next book. Not sure what book to read next.

I enjoyed To Brew or Not to Brew as well. Looking forward to the next in October.
I have been reading all these discussions and everyone's comments about the books! I am so excited, I have no idea what to read next! I am ordering The Tea collector series on Amazon tonight but may order more. :)
Since my reading groove is back on track I just started

The Grim Steeper, Tempest in a Teapot and Shadow of a Spout by Amanda Cooper
I just started God Save the Queen! by Dorothy Cannell. Another one from my "picked up years ago and never got around to reading until now" stack. Not sure what to make of it yet, other than that it seems a bit on the silly/cartoonish side.

I'm at the 45% finished mark and too soon to say. I did like the twist in Chapter 1.

This week, I read and enjoyed:
Eclair and Present Danger by Laura Bradford
Grilled for Murder by Maddie Day
Started "Tragic Magic" by Laura Childs this morning, good so far! Have read others by this author, she's good:)
Finished
Death of a Kitchen Diva by Lee Hollis It was closer to 3.5 than the 4 I gave it. I rounded up because I wasn't sure who the killer was until late in the book.I'll read the next one in the series which I already own on my Nook.
Just finished
A Hole in Juan by Gillian Roberts. One more book left in the series. Considering she hasn't published anything in over 15 years, I'd say she has retired now from writing.

and
Loved them both!

Guidebook to Murder is on my nook and will be finished by month's end.
I have found the Haunted Yarn Shop Mysteries by Molly MacRae and I am enjoying them immensely!
This week, I read and enjoyed:
The Calamity Cafe by Gayle Leeson
Desperate Housedogs by Sparkle AbbeyMark
Hmmmm...... Haunted Yarn Shop Mysteries by Molly MacRae? I never heard about them before. I will have to look into that! Thanks for that info, always looking for anything with knitting or crocheting in it.Mary

I like themes, like the coffee shop, the tea shop, scrapbooking, knitting and crocheting and quilting.
