I ordered a few Cozies but they haven't arrived yet, so now i am reading:

[Jennifer]

Just finished Becoming Marie Antoinette . I liked it and it's one of the few books I've read about Marie Antoinette that focused on her life before France to any degree.

[Shirley]

Amazon has




Penumbra by Carolyn Haines

Kindle for FREE!

[Jennifer]

I'm reading Something Blue , which is surprising to me since I couldn't stand Darcy Rhone when I read Something Borrowed and I still can't stand her. But I picked it up in the barnes & noble last week and read 20 pages of it and now here I am.

@ Jennifer, Becoming Marie Antoinette sounds like a good book.

[Beth]

I'm reading Down the Great Unknown: John Wesley Powell's 1869 Journey of Discovery and Tragedy Through the Grand Canyon as historical research for my next book, Cataract Canyon. Along with going down the Grand Canyon on that fateful trip, JW Powell did a first descent of Cataract Canyon on the Colorado River. I'm finding the adventure/survival tale of that journey to be fascinating, much like The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey that chronicles Theodore Roosevelt's first descent of a rapids-filled tributary of the Amazon River.

I am listening to audio book of The Sixth Man. I listen while at work. It is pretty good with an interesting premise. How much information can the human brain take in and analyze?

[Karen M]

Polar Star is definitely not a cozy but Martin Cruz Smith certainly knows how to write mystery/thrillers!

I loved the first one. Haven't had a chance to read the second yet. Glad you liked it!

[Kaye]

Started and am enjoying it quite a bit.

[Ellen]

A hard-boiled mystery ("Nordic Noir"):

[Patricia]

I'm at the gym talking to my exercise buddies about what they're reading.

[Karen M]

I'm reading The Greek Treasure which is a "biographical novel", publisher's words and My Sister's Voice which was a free download for Kindle.

[Kathleen]

Those are great suggestions.

I wonder why I am not getting updates from this group. Hmmmm... maybe I checked the wrong thing.

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

I am (finally) finishing up my (re)read of The Chronicles of Narnia with The Last Battle.

[Maria]

Straight to Hell by Michelle Scott -- this actually is kind of a cozy. It's just paranormal. I reviewed it here on GR and my blog. Good start of a new series.

Dying Bites by D.D. Barant -- UF parallel world. Decent.

Child of Fire by Harry Connolly - UF -this was pretty dark and more like a supernatural thriller than urban fantasy, but very fast paced. Good book.

[Karen M]

Reading Mudbound which is very enjoyable.

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Finished The Last Battle by CS Lewis this afternoon. Am thinking of starting Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire next. Need to read this one so I can return it to my sister.

[Beth]

I'm well into A Dog's Purpose and I'm enjoying it immensely. The author has really nailed a dog's point of view.

I finished re-reading yesterday. Still found it enjoyable. The part about Nearly Headless Nick's death day party and efforts to join the Headless Hunt were especially appropriate with Halloween approaching.

[Ellen]

Just finished . Not a cozy, definitely, but not very bloody either. It was good to visit Matthew Scudder and my old neighborhood in Manhattan.

[Becky]

When I'm not reading cozies, I read suspense, James Patterson, Kathy Reichs, Sue Grafton, Linda Fairstein. I also enjoy the mysteries involving authors such as James D Doss and Tony Hillerman. I love Yasmine Galenorns paranormal romance series with the d'artigo sisters. I also read Patricia Briggs abd Kim Harrison, Rachel Caine.

[❂ Murder by Death]

Finished up . I'm a Crusie fan, but I really procrastinated on this one because the cover and title just smacked of romance and I prefer my romance to be secondary. I finally sat down to read this and was pleasantly surprised - a very fun ghost story! The plot reminded me of Phyllis Whitney's Window on the Square, but with ghosts! Loved it and was a great Halloween season read.

I really enjoyed that book too! Love Jennifer Crusie.

by Haruki Murakami

Plus about 10 more. I can't focus on any one book right now.

[Bobbi]

Ken Follett's books. All of them. I particularly like Eye of the Needle and Hornet Flight I listened to The Pillars of the Earthon audio and was mesmerized.

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

After one in the morning and I have jsut finished Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire. I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight until I had finished, and it was well-worth the loss of sleep. Excellent book. Hmmm...I wonder if my sister has Son of a Witch, so I might pilfer borrow that from her next?

Right now, I'm not reading anything...Just don't feel like it for some reason...Sometimes I think buying that Kindle was just a waste of money!!!!

Just the title of Son of a Witch made me smile.

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Bobbi: Doesn't it though? *g*

[Marja]

I just started Bears With Us by Marilyn Meredith. It is a mystery, and it does have something to do with bears. I just started it, and so far I'm thoroughly enjoying it.Bears With Us

[[deleted user]]

when I am not reading cozies, I enjoy romance novels, contemporary authors such as Debbie Macomber, Mariah Steweart, Sherryl Woods, Linda Lael Miller. I finished Sage Creek by jill gregory and the Villa by Nora Roberts; loved Hometown Girl by Mariah Stewart

[Rachel]

I read a lot of fantasy and sci-fi when I'm not reading mysteries. I just finished Death & Magic which actually is a cozy mystery, just set in a world with magic. The heroine is a healer and trainee wizard, who gets roped into doing the magical equivalent of CSI-type work, and ends up solving the mystery herself. It was a really good read.

[Kouk]

I am reading 2 books now.
A cozy:

And a Young Adult book.

Both are a lot of fun!

[Jackie]

I've started , a YA Fantasy novel. I'm enjoying it so far.

I've been looking at THE VAMPIRE STALKER. It's sitting in my Amazon cart right now, but I haven't decided whether to buy it or not!

The Vampire stalker is really Young Adult but i like it!
The idea of the book is original.
But it basically depends on if you like YA books.

The book does read fast and i think it's a stand alone.

[Kim]

I've been reading Step on a Crack for the last of my October challenge from another group. I probably won't finish it until tomorrow, but oh well.

I read lots of YA, so that's not a problem!

Then i think you will like it Melodie!
It has vampires in it and that always makes me happy!
(i believe you like them as well!)

[Ellen]

Right now, most of my time is taken up with by Haruki Murakami.

[Karen M]

Just started Middlesex.

[Donna]

I found A Discovery of Witches and The Peach Keeper at the library, so I'll be reading those next.
