I don't care for books that make me cry either, usually. But I can think of 3 exceptions to that. Spider Web by Earlene Fowler, Widow's Tears by Susan Wittig Albert and Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater.

I really liked

[Leslie]

I finished The Hell Screen - it was OK but the mystery side was a little disappointing.

[Melissa]

Just finished . It was kind of different for a cozy and I did enjoy it, but I thought it possibly violates the rules of cozies. I started a new thread about that thought.

[Mary (Biblophile)]

Just finished and liked it. Have been reading this series out of order as I can't find them all at my library.

[Katherine]

Just finished The Christmas Cookie Killer Easy reading and fun a la Murder, She Wrote and Miss Marple.

[Becky]

I just finished Iced Chiffon by Duffy Brown. I loved it & can't wait until the 2nd book comes out in May.

[Mary (Biblophile)]

Just finished another in this series which I like.

[Leslie]

Finished Love Lies Bleeding today. Very enjoyable.

[Zoe]

I finished and it was excellent! I love Heather Webber/Blake's writing!

[Cindy]

I just finished . I liked it.

[Chuck]

Just finished

[Lynn]

Just finished A Death in Gascony. I really enjoyed it, but then Athos is one of my all-time favourite characters.

[Nell]

Yesterday I finished Button Holed by Kylie Logan. Really good.

[Mary (Biblophile)]

Just finished . Average.

[Linda]

Just finished . For me it was definitely a 5-star cozy, but there was a sense of unfulfillment at the end. But I feel confident that the author is simply delaying the happily-ever-after so that it will be all the more satisfying when it happens.

I hope so Linda!

I just finished Truly, Madly and oh my gawd, really. It was everything you ladies promised and then some. Wow, what a book! I am so reading the rest of these. Thanks again to you enablers.

[boo..."

::huge grin:: Brilliant isn't it? I love this series and I hope she's going to continue with it.

On a related but completely separate note, I've been meaning to ask you Bandmama - have you read the Charlie Davidson series by Darynda Jones? I've been thinking you might like it and have meaning to suggest it (not cozy - paranormal/humor/mystery/romance).

[❂ Murder by Death]

Just finished Ocean Waves. Meh. 2.5 stars. If someone had told me about the Mountain Lion I would have just skipped this book altogether. Totally ruined for me what was a mediocre book at best.

Agreed. I didn't like this one either. And I HATE when animals get killed. Made this one decidedly "uncozy" for me.

Always happy to add to your book piles!! LOL

[Christina]

Just finished In the Dead of Winter by Nancy Mehl

[Mary (Biblophile)]

Finished up and didn't like it as much as the others in the series. I know it's a culinary cozy, but it read like a cookbook and travel guide rather than a mystery.

[Melissa]

Just finished .

Jennifer not Bandmama but I read the first one but never read anymore.

[Melodie]

Jennifer, I read the first of these awhile back and liked it, but didn't love it. Have the 2nd one (I got an ARC somewhere) and the 3rd one, too, I think, around here. Think I'll pull the 2nd one out this month sometime and see if I can get to it with all the good new ones arriving today & tomorrow!

[Heidi]

FYI bandmama I liked the first 5 or 6 Queen Betsy books, which are also paranormal Undead and Unwed and recommend them if you haven't read them! I quit that series though because it got a little too over the top for me. I am not really a paranormal fan in general but I also enjoyed the Fever series and the Kate Daniels series.

[Heidi]

Back to cozies I read Wave Good-bye all in one day yesterday - really liked it!

Agreed. The first 6 of these were fun, then they just got too weird. The last one I read, which I think was #9, was AWFUL!! Do you read the Sookie Stackhouse books, Bandmama??? The last one arrives at my house tomorrow and I figure on hunkering down with it, even though I know it's not going to end the way I want it to!

Such A Wonderful Lucy Valentine Series...So much Happens in The Series.. @Heather Webber Knows What her Readers Want...Heather Blake Has Her New Series Under Above Name... Another Great Series...Could read About Lucy Valentine and her "Entourage" for a long Time..Enjoy....

Finished Wall-to-Wall Dead by Jennie Bentley before bed last night. Sigh...I do love this series.

[❂ Murder by Death]

Add me to the list of people who only liked the first 6 of the Queen Betsy series - they just got silly after that...

Melodie and Heidi - If you choose to read the second, etc. of the Charlie Davidson series, I'll be eager to hear your thoughts. I just love this series - I think for the dialogue most of all.

I've not read these but I did read the Harper Connelly seriesGrave Sight and enjoyed it so onto the list these go :)

[Heidi]

That goes both ways Bandmama!

Oh yeah I read Sookie. I have the most recent two to get caught up on and the new one. I may have to stretch these out as I hear this new one is the end of Sookie. Booo Hisss.

I'm just so tickled to meet up with such an amazing group of ladies who like to read as much (ok maybe even more) than I do.

I tried Grave Sight but got weirded out by the brother sister relationship (I think it was that book?) so I quit before the end. I highly recommend the Kate Daniels series if you like paranormal.

Oh me too! I know they aren't related - but I just couldn't get past the ick factor of that dynamic. I made it through one book, but couldn't continue on.

Bandmama - the Charlie Davidson books are totally different - VERY humorous. :)

[Heidi]

Jennifer my library has the Charlie Davidson books on audio so I will listen to book two and let you know my thoughts :) I didn't dislike book one - it was just not memorable to me.

I listened to the audio of the first one, but couldn't get into it because the narrator is the same as the Janet Evanovich books, so I kept 'hearing' Stephanie Plum instead of Charlie. Very confusing. :P

[Heidi]

Oh I have listened to that narrator on other books and I know what you mean but I think I will be ok - if I read it in print it will take me too long to get to.

[Bandmama (aka Lucy) - Claiming Mitch as mine]

Lol you guys. The brother and sister in Grave Sight are just brother and sister - not anything, um, naughty brother and sister. I only read the first few though before I got side-tracked with the the Coffee House and Tea Garden series. See I'm not all paranormal. And sometimes I even read about puppies and kittens too - magic kittens wink wink :).

I know - but there was still something a bit creepy about their connection. :D

I can recommend a few more non-paranormal series too - they're actually even cozy and belong in this thread! LOL, but I'll try to string them out over time. :)

Magic kittens, you say???

[Heidi]

Well I love kittens bandmama! I actually love a lot of paranormal cozies - it is strange because paranormal is one of my least favorite genres but there is something about when they are mixed with mysteries that really makes a lot of them shine.

[Beth]

I just finished Veiled Revenge: A Crime of Fashion MysteryEllen Byerrum I really enjoy this series, with fun wild characters, and some out there stuff, they are a great read
