Hi everyone - I'm Lee from New Hampshire. I've been reading cozy mysteries for decades - long before I even knew that the books I liked reading were called "cozy mysteries". I don't think I could pick a favorite author, but I do particularly love books with dogs and cats in them.

Hey Tonya, I just read A Charming Crime a few weeks back and I absolutely loved it. I keep wishing my cat would bring me charms though. LOL. Can't wait to read the new one in that series.
Oh gosh! Really??? Thanks so much!! I'm so honored and grateful!! Thank you! Mr. Prince Charming is so fun!! I wear a charm bracelet and I love incorporating it into the series. Thank you so much!! You made my night!!

Welcome Louise! You don't have to read the listed book by the featured author - anything she wrote will work.
Hi, Louise! I love my ereader too!! Nothing like it AND the DH loves that I don't take a suitcase of books when we travel.

Hello, my name is Christopher Otiko. I am an author. I also love mysteries. I am currently reading "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo."
Hi, my name is Suzy and I live in Washington. I love a good mystery with a twist. I am reading Altered Innocence by Carolann Hays. I found it on Amazon Kindle.

Welcome Shelly!
My name is Laura, I am 43 and live in Oklahoma but my heart is and always will be in Montana. I am here because of my hubby who has a good job here.I read a lot. I would much rather curl up with a good book and my dog and cat curled up with me than watch television, except big bang theory and ncis.
I read a little bit of everything but I love mysteries most. Currently I have been reading paranormal mysteries mostly, but I am happy to read other stuff too.
I cant work due to a medical condition, or rather conditions, and the one good thing about that is lots of time to read.

How about characters in their late twenties and a series that involves whitewater rafting? The two books that are published so far in my RM Outdoor Adventures series are Deadly Currents and Wicked Eddies.
Welcome to Cozy Mysteries, Laura, Shelly, Carol, Rachel, Suzy, Christopher, Louise, Ahmad, Leighann, Tonya, and anyone else I missed!
Hello! My name is Beth and I live in northeast Ohio. I recently discovered the Goodreads site when I was reading Mike Grost's amazing website on mysteries, and am still finding my way around. Cozies are my favorite sub-genre, along with the Golden-Age mysteries, and I'm always looking for new authors.I tend to go through a book a day, so my library has been somewhat out of control until I got a Kindle, and now I'm happily scouting for books that are available for Kindle at low prices! My most recent find has been Fran Stewart's Biscuit McKee books, beginning with "Orange as Marmalade" (Marmalade is Ms. McKee's cat). I'm looking forward to joining in the discussions here!
Welcome Beth! Be sure to check out this thread: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/4... -- you'll find lots of books there.

Hello, cozy mystery fans! I'm delighted to find this group. I've read the self-promotion rules and will be prudent about following them. Mainly, I'm excited to be here because I'm always searching for books to read that aren't filled with violence, horror, etc. I truly wasn't aware of this "genre" until recently. I'm looking forward to following along and hearing recommendations :) Many thanks, Debbie
Welcome to the group, Deborah and Beth!

Hello! I'm Brooke. I'm so excited that I found this group! I love reading and have really started to seek out cozy mysteries lately. Looking forward to being a part of the group. I have my own blog where I sometimes host book tours/reviews/giveaways if you'd like to check it out: http://www.brookeblogs.com
Welcome Debbie, Vanetta, and Brooke!!
Hello everyone! I am a 42 year old teacher and mother to a newly driving fifteen year old boy. Reading is my only way to keep a grip on sanity. I look forward to reading with you all!
I'm Diana. I'm 65 years old and just retired from the local library here in Indiana. I read a little of everything, but Cozies are high on the list of favorites. I love Elizabeth Peters, Donna Andrews, Nancy Martin, Diane Mott Davidson and many others.
Hi All,I'm Richard Cunningham, a Houston-based science journalist who has written his first novel. My wife calls it "historical mystery." Some call it a "cozy," and one author called it "a romance."
Now I'm confused. ;- )
I look forward to following your discussions and learning more about these books you call "cozies."
Cheers,
Richard
Hi! My name is Maria and I am from Moscow Idaho. I found this group through M.C. Beaton's page. I adore cozy mysteries though I didn't know that is what they were called :). I am very excited to find new authors and their series.
Hi, my name is Marcia and I just joined. I love cozy mysteries especially those with women protagonists that are sassy and funny. Favorites include Donna Andrews and Lisa Lutz, but I also love Agatha! I work full time and have lots of other interests, so it takes me a while just to read 1 book. Guess that makes me a "lightweight" for this group, but it looks really well organized and will I'm sure give me a lot of great ideas for my next read.
Hi Marcia, Sorry for not responding to your first note. I'm still not sure if you were talking to me or the group as a whole. Just in case, "Hi." ;- )
My wife and I live in Houston. I'm a science writer and she teaches Art History at the University of Houston.
Like you, I recently joined GoodReads and I'm enjoying the chance to see what other people are reading and follow their reviews. I've already learned of several good books that I probably wouldn't have found on my own.
Moscow, Idaho -- an interesting name!
Cheers,
Richard
