When you're not reading a cozy.... Showing 2,201-2,250 of 5,946

Seems to be my week for strange little books. Now I'm reading Zombie Eyes by Robert W. Walker. Prolific writer who writes horror and supernatural, occult horror and suspense-thriller, mysteries, historical and I've probably missed a few.

[Lisa]

Well here's for something totally different than my usual cozy: Jack Higgins A Devil Is Waiting. Great thriller, not done yet but enjoying it. It moves quick and has a sense of humor. It reminds me a bit of a James Bond type story. Love this author!

I'm currently reading The Time of Aspen Falls...Pretty good so far.

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Whew! Finished A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens this afternoon. I had difficulty sleeping last night, so ended up reading until almost 6am. Got up around 11am, and finished the book in about 1-1/2 hours, after breakfast of course.

Now for a few faster reads!

[Susan]

I am re-reading G is for Gumshoe by Sue Grafton for my mystery book club.

[Melodie]

Just started . I LOVE Pelecanos!

Jack Higgins is a great author. I've enjoyed and recommend two of his books, The President's Daughter and Storm Warning.

Am reading Scandalous Spirits. Only 1/4 of the way through and it's ok - I can see where it's going already though.

[alicia]

I am reading The Night Eternal

[Tammy]

I'm reading .

[Linda]

I have finished a few weeks ago. Than I read and finished . I started this one today and I'm already done with Chapter One. All three of these books are from my home Library.

[Linda]

- For some reason part of my comment is gone so here is the one that I am currently reading now. I am on Chapter 2 as of today.

I did NOT like this particular book in the series. I thought it was too over the top. Hope you like it more than I did.

[Linda]

Heidi

Well so far I am enjoying this book....

Started Chasing Fire (rom-suspense) by Nora Roberts yesterday, am already 30% through. I'm coming down with a cold, so my big weekend plans are to curl up with this book and a box of Kleenex.

[Misty]

Heather - that's how I spent the last two days. My children shared their stomach bug, so the silver lining was that I got to read! Feel better soon!

Right now I am trying hard to get through Under the Dome. I am a huge Stephen King fan, but for some reason, this particular book is just not doing it for me.

I tried and gave up on it. But was another story! LOVED it!!

I read the next few books so it didn't swear me off the series or anything :)

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Thanks, Misty! I hope you are feeling better, too!

[Susan]

I started Winter House by Carol O' Connell.

[Karen M]

I'm almost done with a thriller/mystery called The Dead Saint. It's really quite good. Paid assassins, assassination, politics, secret organizations, really keeping me interested.

[Ellen]

I'm finally reading . I'm about 50 pages in & love it so far.

[Lisa]

I like Robert Crais, there is a new one out called "Taken" has anyone read this yet??? If so what did you think??

[Melodie]

My copy just arrived yesterday and haven't started it yet, but am REALLY looking forward to it!

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Finished Chasing Fire by Nora Roberts, and also read three short stories (45 pages) in the Dorothy L Sayers anthology I've been working on two years now. Only nine more shorts to go!

Good to hear - I have this on my Nook and was thinking of reading it next...

[Ellen]

144 pages & I'm still loving it.

[Priscilla]

I have just finished . I started this before christmas, It was a nice festive read ;)

[Kaye]

Started reading - the premise is slightly ridiculous and the road signs at the chapter beginnings are annoying me. Still, I plan to read on today.

[[deleted user]]

I'm currently reading . It's the 2nd in the Green series. I really enjoyed the first book and so far this one is good too, though I'm only 15% through it.

[Kaye]

Gave up on The Goddess of Fried Okra and started by Margaret Wurtele

WWII Tuscany setting - much better!

[Lisa]

Just finished Taken by Robert Crais, WHEW! A wild ride and a bit creepy but the humor and final wrapup makes it worth the creepiness. Excellent story!

[Misty]

I'm reading The Appeal right now and enjoying it a lot.

[Lisa]

reading Tim Dorsey's Pineapple Grenade...funny!

[Beth]

While on my 2-week Mazatlan, Mexico working vacation, I read two nonfiction ARCs related to the mystery genre. The first was the updated edition of Jeffrey Mark's Intent to Sell, which will be published soon. Every author on this list should put the new edition on their to-buy list. It's been the Bible for genre book promotion for many years, and the new edition has many updates for the electronic age.

Also, I was vastly entertained and educated by D. P. Lyle's upcoming April release, MORE FORENSICS AND FICTION: Crime Writers Morbidly Curious Questions Expertly Answered, a sequel to Forensics and Fiction: Clever, Intriguing, and Downright Odd Questions from Crime Writers. As a result of reading it, I even made a small correction to the galley proofs for Wicked Eddies, which I was also reviewing while away! I recommend Doctor D. P. Lyle's book to both mystery authors and readers.

[Ariel]

I recently finished The Silent Oligarch which took a while to get into but by the end was good. Now I am reading The Spy Who Jumped Off the Screen.

I really enjoyed The Spy Who Jumped Off The Screen.

[Melissa]

Right now I am reading A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and trying to pick one from the stack of new cozies I got.

[Erin L]

I got from the library last week so it's probably up next for me.

[Kaye]

Reading . James is such an excellent author and I've been really hooked by this one. Only about 50 more pages to go and I still haven't figured out who's the murderer.

[❂ Murder by Death]

I received and read Third Grave Dead Ahead yesterday. I love this series and this one was a great addition.

[Lisa]

I love that series too!! Thanks for mentioning it I didn't know the third one was out, definitely getting that ASAP!

[Paula]

I finished and continue to read .

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

I had difficulty deciding what to read next last night, but finally settled on an older romance picked up at the library's used book sale some time ago, The Duke Comes Home by Dame Barbara Cartland. At only 149 pages it was a fast read, but quite good.

Next up is Sea of Suspicion by Toni Anderson, which I won from another GR group last week and received in today's mail.

[Marisa, Cozy Mysteries Assistant Moderator]

I've just read He Kills Me, He Kills Me Not . A debut novel (romantic suspense) I've liked a lot.

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Finished over the weekend: Sea of Suspicion by Toni Anderson (rom-suspense, Friday night) and The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyer (YA vampire, read Saturday).

Currently reading: Solid as Steele by Rebecca York (rom-suspense, about halfway through).

[Erin L]

Finished last night at 1am. I've missed Lescroart's writing and it made me want more Dismas books.

Oh, and I'm reading American Gods now.

[Melodie]

Finished , which was very good, and immediately started .
