Rebecca | 10 comments Good Morning all!
I'm Rebecca and a Public Librarian in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Area. I'm a cozy reader from way back. I signed up a week or two but haven't introduced myself yet. I just finished reading Amanda Flowers - Murder in a Basket and it was great fun. I'm also into reading romance - like romantic suspense and some paranormal romance like books by Heather Graham. I grew up reading all the Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes books. Still love them.
I am going to try to work on the March silly holidays challenge!

Jill (alwzreading) | 4 comments Hi, I'm Jill and I'm a cozy-holic. How bad you might ask? Well, I just finished 6 cozies in 2 days while still fitting work, housework and sleep. My intro to cozies was via "The Cat Who..." series. And my addiction has exploded since then. But I'm not ready for an intervention yet :)

Maggi | 1 comments Hello everybody.
I am happy I found this group because I love reading but am really stuck on what to read.

I hope to get inspired and have some discussions and read about your thoughts as well.

P.S.: Agatha Christie is genius, love her.

Bitsy Snyder | 1 comments Hey everyone!

I love anything that has a remote mystery attached. I've been in grad school while working full time the last three years and it's really (REALLY) cut into my recreational reading time! I'm about to graduate and hope to spend evenings and weekends reading what I want!

Looking forward to being part of the community!
Bitsy

You might also enjoy The Baron series by John Creasey (although he may have written them as JJ Marrick. He wrote over 700 books under dozens of pseudonyms.)

Beth | 616 comments Welcome, Bitsy, Bethlil, and Anne!

Congrats on that upcoming graduate degree, Bitsy! I earned mine while working full-time, and I know that juggling graduate school and work is REALLY hard.

Bethlil, there's nothing I like doing better during a heavy rainstorm than curling up under a comforter with a good mystery!

Anne, I'm a fan of Carolyn Hart, too, the person as well as her books. I hope you'll consider reading one or both of my two mystery series. I'm one of the two featured authors this month.

Welcome again to you all!

Catherine Leggitt (catherineleggitt) | 1 comments Cozies are my all time favs. Love the humor and the pets. Don't like so much blood and gore. I'm Catherine from northern CA. I also wrote a cozy mystery series--Christine Sterling Mysteries published by Ellechor Publishing. PAYNE & MISERY, THE DUNN DEAL, AND PARRISH THE THOUGHT. Looking forward to reading your recommendations and reviews on cozies.

message 1678: by [deleted user] (new)

Hi, everybody. I'm Malla Duncan from Cape Town. I'm a writer of somewhat dark mystery thrillers but I love to read cozy mysteries! I do find them hard to track down though. I still find the church fete the perfect place to find a lovely old-fashioned read!


message 1679: by Susan Jo (new)

Susan Jo Grassi (susanjo) Hi Malla, welcome.


message 1680: by Kim (new)

Kim Hathorn | 7 comments Hi all, my name is Kim and I'm from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Needless to say, I love to read. I read several genres, but my favorite subject has always been history, and so my favorite books (and most read genre) is historical fiction, including historical mysteries and romance. I also love mysteries as a whole and have read many over the years--a lot of them cozy ones which I've enjoyed immensely. I'm looking forward to participating with this group, and finding new titles to read.


message 1681: by Beth (new)

Beth | 616 comments Here's a big, warm welcome to Kim, Malla, Kelly, and Catherine!


message 1682: by Susan Jo (new)

Susan Jo Grassi (susanjo) Hi Kim, welcome. I also love history, fiction and fact but not so much on the romance side. I look forward to exchanging recommendations.

Lonna Gundrum (lonnag) | -1 comments Hi, My name is Lonna and I am from Hartland, WI. I love to read and really enjoy cozy mysteries. I also like historical fiction and romance as well as biographies. My favorite cozy authors are Joanne Fluke, Diane Mott Davidson and Jill Churchill but I haven't found any authors yet that I don't like.

I am looking forward to some fun discussions and finding out about new authors to read.

My husband and I are originally from Milwaukee, but are now living in Oregon, WI. I love it when I see people from Wisconsin. So very cool.

Sue (suetinge) | 622 comments Welcome Lonna!


message 1690: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm way behind saying "Hi!" to newbies. (Been busy writing.) But I'm almost a newbie at Cozy Mysteries too. I'll probably miss a few, but, Hi to Jill, Maggi, Anne, Kelly, Malla (my hubby and I visited Cape Town a few years ago), Kim, Lorna, and maybe more. Jill, I started with The Cat Who... too.


message 1691: by Beth (new)

Beth | 616 comments Welcome, Lonna! You'll find lots of new authors to read in this group. ;-)


message 1692: by Denise (new)

Denise (dulcinea3) | 50 comments Hi, I'm Denise, from New England. I have so much to read and didn't really need another group to eat up my time (!), but I read lots of cozies (my favorite genre), so I couldn't resist! I love Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, Ngaio Marsh, Martha Grimes, Carolyn Hart, Elizabeth Peters, Lilian Jackson Braun, and lots of others!

Joan Young (sharkbytes) | -455 comments When I get to 200 Likes for Anastasia Raven mysteries on FB, I'll be giving away two copies.

This is better posted in the Self-Promotion and Giveaways section.

Susan Jo Grassi (susanjo) Hi Denise, welcome to the group. I see we like a lot of the same authors. I look forward to your recommendation and chit chat when you have time.


message 1696: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Michael | 92 comments I'm a relatively new GR member (joined shortly after getting my Kindle four months ago) so am still navigating through the many grops here. I have always enjoyed many of the cozy mysteries and still do.

Favorites (books I own to re-read) include Agatha Christie, Heron Carvic, Dorothy Gilman and Margaret Maron.

Denise (dulcinea3) | 50 comments Hi, Susan Jo and Beth, thanks! I should probably also mention that if anybody here also participates on B&N's Mystery forum (as I know Beth does), you will also know me from there - I'm Dulcinea on that site.
