Hi:) I live in New Brunswick, Canada...I love reading mysteries so when i saw this group I thought I would join to get ideas for new books to read!
Welcome, Shelly and Melissa.
Hi Heather, I am enjoying the book, I just finished Sew Deadly by Elizabeth Lynn Casey, it was enjoyable, I have a friend who was an English teacher and then librarian and she is always giving me these type of books to read, I just love them.
Hi everyone. My name is Lauren and I am a huge fan of cozy mysteries. I live in staten island new york. I am a recent college graduate but in my free time, I always find myself on this website looking for new books and series especially in this genre. I'm currently reading Bitter Harvest and would like any recommendations for new cozies with a relatively young heroine so I can relate better to the character and the story.

Hi- I signed up last week and just got my acceptance to the author program. Now trying to find my way around here.
Hello all - I'm Teddi from just outside Vancouver Canada. I love cozy mysteries - i cant even remember all i've i've read as there have been so many!M.C. Beaton, Joan Hess' Maggody series, etc. I especially like the Brit ones. I have just started in on Agatha Christie - I dont know why it took me so long to get to her!

Hi everyone, my name's Scila from Italy. Just joined this group as I love reading mysteries...right now I'm on M.C.Beaton and her Agatha Raisin's adventures.
Hello and welcome Teddi and Scila . . . I have not got around to the Agatha Raisin adventures yet but I do enjoy her other books. I'm like you on Agatha Christie, why didn't I read these years ago???
Well, hello! I love Vancouver, if I was 10 years younger I would move there, honestly.Scila, I'm also from Italia, Veneto. I'm not good at selling my own books, but I hope you read my Love Thy Sister, it was my first cozy, it's all about coming to America and missing Italy, the story of 2 Italian sisters. It will be out in Italian October 2012, I'm hoping to make it to Italy for the launch.
Hope my link works-Maria Grazia Swan

Hello Maria Grazia.. the link works great and your book is on my wish list so I can remember of it! :)Let me know if you'll come here for the launch.. Have a great day :)
Hello Shelly :) I'm not liking Agatha Raisin right now.. Agatha Christie still remains the best! :)
Hi , I'm Tammy from Ont Canada. My favorites are M.C Beaton, Agatha Christie and Diane Mott Davidson ( all that comes to mind for now anyway) nice to meet you all :)

Hi, so, where are you in Italy? I live up North, about 45 minutes from Venice (or the garage at piazzale Roma). Are you on facebook? If so, let's connect.
Welcome to all new members and the ones not so new, like me...

Cool!
Heather L wrote: "Welcome to the group, Tammy!"Hi and thank you , Maria and Heather ! :))
Nice to meet you, I like your choice of authors.
Not sure if you are talking to me Shelly but I like yours as well :)) You made me remember I didn't add Helter Skelter to my 'read' list. I saw you read The girl with the Dragon Tattoo, I haven't yet but I plan to.
Tammy wrote: "Not sure if you are talking to me Shelly but I like yours as well :)) You made me remember I didn't add Helter Skelter to my 'read' list. I saw you read The girl with the Dragon Tattoo, I haven't y..."I apparently don't "get" the Stieg Larsson books. It took me forever to read TGWTDT and I thought it was pretty much just okay. I was assured TGWPWF was much better. I think I was lied to!! After struggling through those 2 I had no desire to read the last one! The books were well written, they just didn't hold my interest at all.........and I know I'm in a very small minority!

I saw you read The girl with the Dragon Tatto..."Often I dont have any interest in what is considered "popular". I have copies of them but have always found something I prefer to read more. I havent read the Hunger Games series or the Help either. People look at me like i'm strange - maybe I am.....lol

It's nice to hear someone with a different point of view on it :D I'll keep it on my list, but further down lol

It was given to me and I finally put it on eBay when I realized I was never going to read it. For awhile I thought I must be a bad person for not wanting to read it, but I know that's not true. Books like that just are not the type of book that holds my interest. We're all different. Sometimes a "blockbuster" is right up my alley, but most times they really aren't!

I don't read a lot of the popular lit fic, but every now and then something will interest me. However, I usually end up reading those months and sometimes even years after they come out.
Hi, I'm Jennifer. And this is exactly what I love to do, curl up on one end of my sofa, and read Dean Koonz. My husband even bought me a reading light. :) And right now I am reading Midnight by Dean Koontz.

I pretty much live and breath mysteries (since I write 2 different mystery series)! It's really cool to see so many people who love cozies, and here on Goodreads, to see so many people who just LOVE books.
I'm in North Texas just outside of Dallas.

Welcome, Melissa! Loved your first Magical Dressmaking book. Looking forward to the next one in a couple of weeks!
Thank you, Melodie! I'm currently reading Heather Blake's, It Takes a Witch (she also writes as Heather Webber). Love it! A Wishcraft Mystery.

Welcome! I too love both your series and was very happy to hear another Lola book was coming. :)
Hi. I'm southpaw. I joined Goodreads in 2009, but I've recently fallen in love with the Cozy Mystery genre.This looks like a great group. I look forward to learning more about this wonderful, new-to-me genre.
I've been away on vacation, so I have a lot of folks to welcome. Welcome, Southpaw (I'm a lefty, too)! Welcome, Melissa, Jennifer, Tammy, Maria, Teddi, Joan, and Lauren!
