I'm eagerly waiting Take the Monkey and Run, as I've enjoyed a lot the previous ones.

[Paula]

I'm looking forward to The Cracked Spine. I've enjoyed all the Paige Shelton books I've read.

[Marisa, Cozy Mysteries Assistant Moderator]

I have already got it on hold at the library too. I'm looking forward to it too.

This one isn't being released now until July 5th and BEHIND CHOCOLATE BARS is delayed until October.

[Melodie]

I have 6 of these on order. Another 2 I might pick up later depending on reviews.

I was trying to figure out why GR has it released March 1st but when I pre-ordered on Amazon it has a release date in July. Darn!! Now I have to wait longer.

[Marisa, Cozy Mysteries Assistant Moderator]

Updated, it's really a pity.

[Nell]

I cancelled my Amazon pre-order because I'm not willing to pay the same price for Kindle as I do for a print book. Instead I'm tracking it on www.ereaderiq.com to see if the price drops between now and July.

I was fortunate enough to get ARCs of several of these titles and have read and enjoyed these books:

The Perfectly Proper Paranormal Museum, by Kirsten Weiss - Paranormal isn't my thing, but it wasn't a huge part of this book, so I liked it more than I thought I would.

A Muddied Murder, by Wendy Tyson - This was a little slow to start, but since it's set in Pennsylvania, where I live, I was reluctant to give up on it.

Reining in Murder, by Leigh Hearon - I didn't expect much from this since I'm not really into horses, but I ended up liking it in the end.

The Cracked Spine, by Paige Shelton - My biggest complaint about this one was a few TSTL moments that this author's 'heroines' don't usually get into. I hope that doesn't continue in the next book!

My copy of A Churn for the Worse came for me at the library this week, so that's on this weekend's reading list. I'm waiting for Killer Reunion, by G.A. McKevett, but that probably won't come till near the end of the month.

I have REINING IN MURDER on order. Good to know it's good.

I do agree with that -- it seems to me that a kindle price should ALWAYS be less

[Betty]

Like Melodie, I was lucky to get ARC on several of this book and enjoyed a I read so far. Just finised Karen MacInnerey MOTHER KNOWS BEST. I like it so much that I brought the first one and found it as good as the new one. Both are hilarious.

[Gary]

The latest Merry Wrath Mystery was released today.

[Melissa]

Thanks so much for sharing this list!

Lots of great new cozies!
