In the book I'm reading right now, Die Buying, the main character likes to swim. And for the art lover in you...how about the Art Lover's Mystery series? :)
My hobbies/interests: I foster orphan kittens for my local Humane Society. I also love to read (of course), knit, crochet, listen to Old Time Radio and I'm a sucker for old classic movies.
Commented on two, now back to reading.
Hmm - I must have done something wrong because I posted a comment but I don't see it on the website.
I'm posting here because my comment seems to have disappeared.In addition to reading, I knit, crochet and sew (sometimes). I am a basketball fan. My home is filled with books and plants. I am a lawyer. I love to do jigsaw puzzles and word games.
Same here, I posted a comment and it didn't show up.
Another post here. reading mysteries, needlework counted thread embroidery (counted crosstitch, hardanger etc), crochet, jigsaw puzzles, crosswords, jumble, reading historical books (fiction and nonfiction), dogs
My hobbies include painting ,jigsaw puzzles and sewing!

My comment is there now! Thanks Ronnie
I like cats, dirt racing, and reading books.
I love to scrapbook in my spare time. I'm not sure there is a cozy mystery series that focuses on that. Any suggestions?
My hobbies are reading and collecting books. Nothing else qualifies, I am a dabbler in crosswords, knitting. I love icing (cakes, cupcakes, cookies), dogs, cats, book stores, libraries. I love paranormal animals. I love Pinterest for pictures of cats, dogs, libraries, books.

So cute so far...for a big dog series...the Downward Dog Series by Tracy Weber is a good choice.

Plants - Heather Webber has a series about a woman who runs a landscaping company - Nina. Digging Up Trouble is the first. Of course, then there are the books with books, Kate Carlisle book binder is a terrific series. Ali Brandon has Black Cat Bookshop series which combines books and a cat. Lucy Arlington series Novel Idea.

Adding it to my TBR :)
Brooke wrote: "I like gardening, baking, reading of course, anything British/BBC, and history!"You have a number of great British authors to chose from -
Colin Dexter, Arthur Conan Coyle, Agatha Christie, and Peter King has a gourmet detective series.
My hobbies (beside reading) are genealogy, knitting, quilting and trying out new recipes.
I really like the Betsy Devonshire series by Monica Ferris. The main character owns a craft supply store, so it deals with knitting, crocheting, quilting, etc. You might like them!
Kathleen wrote: "I love to scrapbook in my spare time. I'm not sure there is a cozy mystery series that focuses on that. Any suggestions?"Yes, Laura Childs has a scrapbooking mystery series. I have only read the first one so far, but I enjoyed it and have several more waiting to be read.
I knit, crochet, read, eat, have 5 cats, and listen to Old time Radio via Radio Classics on satellite radio! I would recommend the Books by the Bay mysteries by Ellery Adams for the readers. For those who love food, The Silver Bullet Diner mysteries by Christine Wenger are top notch! Cat book favorites are by Sofie Kelly, Sofie Ryan and of course, the Sneaky Pie Brown by Rita Mae Brown -- the earlier, less preachy books! LOL!

Other than reading, I like to work jigsaw puzzles, Sudoku, travel (especially to France), cruise and play with my cats! I used to do counted cross stitch when I only had one cat, those days are long past!
Barbara wrote: "My hobbies (beside reading) are genealogy, knitting, quilting and trying out new recipes."For quilting, my sister has read the Benni Harper mysteries by Earlene Fowler, and really enjoys them. Each title is the name of a quilt pattern. We are both reading the Kelly Flynn knitting mysteries by Maggie Sefton.
There is a 2 book series by Fiona Mountain that are labeled as Genealogical mysteries. On Goodreads they are called Natasha Blake Ancestor Detective. I have the first one, but haven't read it yet.
There are some great recipes in Joanne Flukes Hannah Swensen baking mysteries. I have the cookbook and love it.
I love scrapbooking. Does anyone know of any scrapbooking mysteries other than Laura Childs? I already have those.
Juli wrote: "My hobbies/interests: I foster orphan kittens for my local Humane Society. I also love to read (of course), knit, crochet, listen to Old Time Radio and I'm a sucker for old classic movies."I love that you foster kittens, but how can you give them up? When someone dropped a young cat by our house, she gave birth about a week later to 5 healthy kittens. We kept them all, in addition to the momma cat and our 2 older cats.
I would recommend The Cat Who.... series by Lilian Jackson Braun.

Also the Reigning Cats and Dog series a mobile veterinarian set on Long Island with all the location names changed and the distances way too short to meet reality, but enjoyable none the less.
Completed about 30 minutes ago on FB but I couldn't find the event FB post to comment that I completed the activity
Jamie wrote: "I like cats, dirt racing, and reading books."Jamie, have you tried the Tammy Kaehler Kate Reilly series? The main character drives race cars (road races such as Le Mans, Road America) but it's a good series for race fans.
