Hello Susie :)

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Welcome, Susie!

[Nicola]

Hi Suzie :) Welcome!

[Tammy]

Hi Suzie!

[Marisa, Cozy Mysteries Assistant Moderator]

Welcome, Susie!

[Susie]

Thank you everyone! That put a smile on my face ;)

[Sukhi]

Hi Nicola, Priscilla, Susie. Welcome, welcome, welcome!

(Oye vey, that sounds like that Hooville song they sing in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas".)

[Deborah]

Hi, I'm Deborah Sharp, 55, a Florida native and the author of the funny Mace Bauer Mysteries, featuring Mace's wacky mama. I'm an AWFUL slacker when it comes to keeping up online, so haven't done much at Goodreads, even though I joined some time back. (I hope they don't evict me, since I never update my profile and usually forget I'm even a member).

I joined this Cozy group because I write (and love)cozies, but also because I saw a post about Death of a Wedding Belle, and wanted to respond. I'm looking for other fun wedding mysteries, out about the same time as my July 1 Mama Gets Hitched. Did those of you who read ''Belle'' like it?
Cheers, Deborah Sharp

Hi Deborah!

[Beth]

Welcome to this group, Deborah! It's great to see another Midnight Ink mystery author hanging out here. Now, we've got to get the whole gang participating... ;-)

For those of you who are curious about Midnight Ink, here's a couple of links:
http://www.midnightinkbooks.com/
http://midnightwriters.blogspot.com/ (Both Deborah and I contribute articles.)

[Sonja]

Hi, I am Sonja from Germany and I just joined Goodreads. I love reading books in English although it's my second language. And since I got my Kindle it has become so easy for me to find good books :-)
Looking forward to getting to know you!

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Welcome to the group, Sonja!

[Sukhi]

Welcome Deborah. How's the weather over there in Florida? If it's nice, do you mind sending some over here? As much as I love rain, we could use a bit of sunshine in this part of the world.

Hi Sonja, welcome. I'm glad the Kindle is working out for you. What's your newest read on it?

[Marisa, Cozy Mysteries Assistant Moderator]

Welcome Deborah and Sonja!

[Caroline]

Hi Susie! Hi Deborah (can't wait for Mama Gets Hitched!) and hi Sonja! This is a lot of fun - I think you'll enjoy it. : )

[Deborah]

Hi, back at ya Caroline, Beth, Heidi, Marisa and Bookworm (oddly enough, it's raining right now in ''sunny'' Florida, so don't think you want any of THIS weather! Good reading weather, though .... )
Bye, y'all.

[Courtney]

Hi everyone! I'm Ava. I'm a big fan of cozy mysteries, so I thought this group would be perfect for me. I just got caught up on the Hannah Swenson series by Joanne Fluke. I also really like Joanna Carl's Chocoholic series.

I live in the DFW metroplex area in Texas. I'm a pre-k teacher. I have a 19-month-old son.

[Heidi]

Welcome Ava :)

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Welcome to the group, Ava!

[Tobin]

Hi - I might be breaking a barrier here by being the lone male (thus far) to introduce himself in this group.
I'm a 40 year old guy living in the SF Bay Area, who is the typical corporate hack from 9-5. My first mystery, let alone cozy, was a summer read of Death on the Nile back when I was 13. I've been hooked ever since.
I just finished reading the latest Laura Childs' Tea shop mystery (kind of a moderate read, compared to the other books in the series), and am looking forward to reading the newest Juliet Blackwell mystery (set in SF of course!).
When I'm not reading mysteries, I'm big on contemporary fiction (the Help, South of Broad, etc.). I've been a member of GR for about a year, i think.

[Marisa, Cozy Mysteries Assistant Moderator]

Welcome Ava! Welcome, Tobin!

[Caroline]

Hi Tobin! Hi Ava! I just visited Ft Worth back in April and I loved it. It was actually cooler in FW then than it was in DC at the time! (I hate the heat and humidity of DC summers!)

[Kelley]

Welcome to the group Ava and Tobin! I think we're all going to love having a man's perspective on things!

And Ava, I'm just down the highway from you...in Austin :)

Hope y'all have as much fun on this group as the rest of us.

[Tammy]

HI, Deborah, Sonja, Ava, & Tobin - Welcome Everyone!

[Courtney]

I'm combining profiles. Sorry for the confusion! This is the one I'll use. I've had it longer and have more books set up on it.

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Welcome, Tobin!

[Barb]

Hello, all! I've been in Good Reads for about a year. I'm married to a military history nut (35 yrs - I've gotten used to it). I enjoy gardening, travel throughout the States and Canada, fiber arts, reading and target shooting. I started reading cozies with Nancy Drew and Cherry Ames at age nine and have never lost my enjoyment of them. I also enjoy lengthier mysteries and novels of every sort. I am indebted to my local public library for all the great books I've found there so I volunteer and shelve books once a week in all departments - amazing how that adds to my 'to read' list! I'm currently reading 'The Jungle Books' by Kipling to my grands...we're up to Rikki Tikki Tavi. They also get regular doses of Shel Silverstein's poetry. I make sure they get their library cards as soon as they turn 4 - never too young to learn a bit of responsibility. Each has a bookcase in their room with the top shelf reserved for their library books. I am searching for my next home and have narrowed it down to 3 towns with extensive libraries and Barnes & Noble within easy driving distance!

Within walking distance would be even better. Or maybe that would just be dangerous. Good luck with the new home search adn welcome to the group!

[Heidi]

Welcome Barb!

[Marisa, Cozy Mysteries Assistant Moderator]

Welcome, Barb, and good luck with the home search.

[Courtney]

Hi Barb!

[Sukhi]

Deborah, it looks as though we shared the same kind of weather for a while, then. You're right about it having been great reading weather. I curled up on the couch with a cup of Earl Grey tea, and Monsieur Doyle for a dose of Holmes and Watson. It was perfect!

Welcome Ava! You have my dream job!

Hello, Tobin. Welcome! I just recently re-read Death on the Nile. I had forgotten how wonderful an author Dame Christie was.

Welcome Barb! I always tell my husband that he MUST remember that he's married to a bookaholic and as a result our home MUST be near a library and/or a bookstore. But libraries are by far much safer, you don't end up in debt over books. :-P

[Barb]

Thanks for the welcome, all!
Forgot to mention that I haunt second-hand and used book shops especially while traveling. Amazing what one can find!
The weather here in NE Illinois was chilly and wet all day - perfect for a pot of Lapsang Souchon, an old warm cat and a cozy to read.......heavenly!

[Heidi]

Barb I live in IL too - the central part :)

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Southern Wis hasn't been much better. Damp and gloomy all day yesterday, with more of the same expected Fri-Sun. Guess instead of walking the Arboretum I'll have to stay in and read!

(Yeah...that's such a hardship, LOL.)

[Dawn]

Hi. I'm Dawn from Green Bay, Wisconsin. Still working my way around and through the posts and looking forward to next month's read (I adore Laura Childs).

[Marisa, Cozy Mysteries Assistant Moderator]

Welcome, Dawn. Good moment to arrive, then :D

[Heidi]

Hello Dawn :)

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Ah, a fellow Wisconsinite! Welcome to the group, Dawn!

[Tammy]

Welcome Dawn!

[Sukhi]

Welcome Dawn!

[Nairabell]

Hi all! I'm Nairabell and I'm 24 living in London, England. I stumbled onto cozys with a copy of Candy Apple Dead, brought solely for the candy recipes :) Now I'm totally hooked! When I'm not reading cozy mysteries I'm usually reading something paranormal.

[Marisa, Cozy Mysteries Assistant Moderator]

Welcome, Nairabell! Nice to read another European girl. I enjoy paranormal a lot too.

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Hi Nairabell, welcome!

[Tammy]

Welcome, Nairabell!

[Nairabell]

Thanks guys :)

[Sukhi]

Welcome to the club, Nairabell. Although this isn't a club. I like reading paranormal stuff too. My latest obsession is the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harrris. What's yours?

[Deborah]

Offering a belated welcome to all the new folks who've come on board, and so happy to see Tobin here, too. Wondering if we have other male cozy readers lurking out there? Try 'em, guys! You'll like them.

I love the Sookie Stackhouse books and am desperately waiting for Dead and Gone (I only buy paperbacks). I'll read pretty much anything paranormal, but I just started reading the Walker Papers by C.E. Murphy and I'm loving them :)

[Sukhi]

Great! Just grrreat! Another series to add to my TBR! :-P

Have you read the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews? I wouldn't recommend it if you like vampires because she utterly desecrates the "romantic" image of vamps. He he he!
