Isn't O'shaugnessey coming out with a new one soon?

I'm reading a wonderful, but non-cozy, mystery: (Jo Nesbø). Also another mystery that I think of as non-cozy, Lawrence Block most recent Matt Scudder (as a New Yorker I really appreciate the Scudder series!), . And since I'm isolated because of work, I'm enjoying (in a slow-moving way) the conversational tone of Block's collection of afterwords from various books of his, & the autobiography, .

[Annie]

i like to stay eclectic and read books from different genres, though cozies are still my all time favourites.

[alicia]

the last few books were and the first one was okay. The second was very very good and suspenseful. The third so far is good as well.

Working my way through The Kitchen House right now. It's interesting.

Reading Rich man, poor man. This book is really good, sorry I didn't get to it a few years sooner.

I described this book as one big soap opera! One bad thing after another happened.

[Robin]

Kitchen House sounds interesting. Rich Man, Poor Man I read years ago.

She definitely too the old advice about putting your characters through hell to heart, didn't she? And all the time you're sitting there reading it thinking, "oh, but wait. Lavinia STILL doesn't know ..."

Finished the Accidental Witch trilogy by Annette Blair, and am now reading Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen, a September group read for The Next Best Book Club (TNBBC) group.

I picked up by Jo Nesbo the other day, but am having second thoughts about it. I might take it back since I REALLY didn't like the first 2 Stieg Larsson books.

[Jennifer]

Just finished Gone with the Windsors . Good book but my god, Wallis Warfield Simpson was annoying and selfish. I read a bio of her about 25 years ago and thought the same thing then.

[Melissa]

I'm reading The Enchanted April and quite enjoying the story and the characters.

If you like the book you should see the movie, truly is enchanting!

[Heidi]

I am listening to Devil in Winter.

[Jackie]

Just finished . I had forgotten how much I liked Mary Stewart's writing. Really enjoyed it!

[Jackie]

I've started , my first by Mark Del Franco. So far, I'm enjoying it.

[alicia]

reading Scared To Death

I read this one and the 2nd in the series and never got back to it. Should put it back on my list!

[Susan]

I am reading Shades of Blue by Karen Kingsbury. It is my first book by this author and I am really liking it so far! :)

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Just finished Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. Sigh... Good book! Now I want to watch the movie again.

[Erin L]

I could re-read and re-watch Jane Austens forever. They're my comfort reads.

[Jackie]

Finished and really liked it!

[Karen M]

Just started Like Water For Chocolate. Odd little book but so far it's okay.

[Robin]

Like Water for Chocolate is a good movie, also.

I had checked the movie on HULU but you have to have the Premium Service to watch it. I watched the 1:30 minute preview which didn't even make it through the opening credits. It appears to be in Spanish??

[Robin]

I think you get one with subtitles. I remember seeing it on DVD a while back. Once you get it from your local library or netflix. Usually they have it in Spanish with English subtitles, or go on youtube and see if you can see it there.

[Kaye]

Starting today.

Didn't think of youtube, silly me! Thanks!

[Kathleen]

Don't laugh but I just bought a Kindle and I've been obsessed with all the free vintage cookbooks and homecrafting books they offer! I've read some wonderful books some dating back to the 1600s. One was written around the time of the Civil War and is all about quilting. I loved every page. Crazy, I know but so much fun to read!

Right now I've only the Kindle Ap on my laptop and I've gone just as crazy downloading books! I need a fix everyday.

[Kathleen]

It's so addictive, isn't it? I keep downloading samples -- it would take me a month just to read all my samples!

[Mary]

Someday, Kathleen, you'll find yourself stuck in an airport or whatever and you'll be so glad to have all that reading material! Of course, samples will leaving you wanting more, but, there you are :-)

[Karen M]

Okay so now of course since I'm definitely getting a Kindle there is the new problem of which one!! LOL

Well, I can just WhisperSync it, can't I?

I have so much on there to read I'll never run out....

Just finished yesterday The Longest Shot: Lil E. Tee and the Kentucky Derby by John Eisenberg. I gained a new appreciation for this longshot Kentucky Derby winner. He sure had to overcome a lot to get to the winner's circle on the 1st Saturday in May!

[Susan]

Once the presidential debates begin, I begin reading presidential biographies. I am currently reading James Garfield's bio by Candace Millard. I am also reading a business book. . .Ten Steps Ahead by Erik Calonius. Fiction: Arctic Drift by Clive Cussler.

Happy reading Everyone!!!

[❂ Murder by Death]

Just finished . Excellent book! Looking forward to reading the second one...

[Ariel]

I had listened to Priceless: How I Went Undercover to Rescue the World's Stolen Treasures. It was told in a simple fashion, but was quiet interesting I thought. Follows the guy who essentially started the Art Crimes unit for the FBI and followed several of his cases. For Non-fiction you might consider it.

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Just started book one in Annette Blair's Triplet Witch Trilogy, Sex and the Psychic Witch. These are fun and sexy paranormal romances.

[Donna]

I've started . It seemed appropriate for the month.

[alicia]

Reading

[Kaye]

Reading The Drowning Man for Read around the USA challenge (WY)

[❂ Murder by Death]

Finished last night. I really enjoy reading these - the character is one I just 'clicked' with. Hope there's more coming.

Have the first in this series in my Amazon cart. Might have to pull the trigger!

[❂ Murder by Death]

I'll look forward to your feelings about the book - I really liked both of them. :)
