Hello! My Name Is... Showing 501-550 of 1,299

[Georgina]

Hello, my name is Georgina & I live in England. I've just discovered Goodreads & this group after reading a comment on amazon uks mystery forums.
I love to read & although I'm happy reading many genres I love to relax with cozy mysteries, I grew up reading Agatha Christie & her books have led me to a lifelong love affair with the printed word.
I'd mainly stuck to Brtish authors in the past, M C Beaton, Simon Brett, Catherine Aird & Hazel Holt being amongst my favourites, but after a visit to Lake Tahoe / California a few years ago & numerous visits to some wonderful book stores whilst there I now read many American authors too.
Anyway enough rambling for now, I am so delighted to have found this group.

[Beth]

Welcome to the group, Alana and Georgina! Alana, I used to live in Colorado Springs before I moved to Breckenridge a year and a half ago.

[Diana]

Welcome to all the new members:)

[Stef]

Hi there, I'm Stef and I'm in Germany. I am German, but I hardly ever read German books - I do cozies, mostly, and the concept is not very prominent here in my native language. We do have a name for it though: It's a "Häkel-Krimi" (==> Crochet Mystery).
I haven't been on Goodreads for very long, but I've already learned to hide some of my details and to ward of some "friends" - my, I thought this would be a little easier than FB!
I work as a PA, I read a lot through all kind of genres, and I spend too much time on Goodreads which could be spent on reading! Seriously, no, time on Goodreads is not lost time.

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome Georgina, I'm glad you found the group! Hopefully we'll be able to help you find a few more authors to love :)

Hi Stef, welcome to the group! The German name is too funny since there are actually a couple of series featuring crocheters. Don't worry - many of us spend too much time on GR!

[Zana]

Hi -- I'm a librarian and writer, currently on our local library board rather than working as a librarian. I have read voraciously all my life, and began writing dog stories when I was 8, which is over half a century ago...

I only recently discovered cozies as a genre and now my endless appetite for reading has taken a cozy turn.

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Zana, welcome to the group! I hope you'll find lots of great cozies here.

Thanks! I have found some great threads already. Also, wanted to say that I LOVE the graphic of the old wood-paneled library at the top of this group's homepage.

[Beth]

Welcome to the group, Stef and Zana!

Welcome to our new members. This is a great group--we're glad to have you join us.

[Alana]

There are so many books on here I've never heard about! I was thinking more of Holmes and Poirot, but I didn't realize the variety that was out there! This should be fun :)

[Linda Langford]

Hi! My name is Linda, and I'm from East Texas. I've almost always been a romance reader, but in the last year, I've discovered how great the cozy mysteries are, and I've become a huge fan! Some of them even have romance in them! I'm looking forward to being part of the Cozy Mystery Corner Group. Thanks!!

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Linda, welcome to the group! I'm sure we can help you find even more great cozies :)

Hi, guys! I am Heather, a wife to Paul, mom to 5 yr old Bella, Kindergarten teacher, and obsessive reader. I love books of all kinds, but mysteries have really been my passion since Scooby Doo. I love cozy mysteries because I don't. usually have nightmares after reading them! I especially. love culinary mysteries, as I love trying all the bonus recipes!

[Heather]

That was cat named Grapefruit! I am super excited to be a part of this group!

[Melissa]

Welcome to all the new members! =)

Love your pets names. Scooby Doo had a very powerful influence didn't it? Still watch it with my kids.

"If it wasn't for you meddling kids!!"

[jaxnsmom]

Hey Heather, welcome to the group! I love catching Scooby Doo on tv now and then. Do you have a favorite culinary series, for the recipes?

[Beth]

Welcome to the group, Heather!

[Jaxie]

Hi everyone, my name is Jaxie and I live in the New England area, I discovered cozies last year and I've been trying to read as many as time allows me. I like particularly the ones with craffting or cooking in them. I'm happy to have joined this group as I'm getting a lot of suggestions for future reads. Almost starting to pile up now :P

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Jaxie, welcome to the group! Watch or that pile will start multiplying and taking over :)

[Iamabibliophile]

[Pamela]

Hello everyone. My name is Pamela and I am new to Goodreads but definitely now new to reading. Growing up on an Indiana farm I learned at an early age to make books some of my favorite friends! I love all reading (just about) but my favorite genres are Mysteries and Mystery Cozies.

Some of my favorite authors (among many, many others) are G.A. McKevett, Elizabeth Peters, and Earlene Fowler.

I'm looking forward to being a participant in this group.

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome to the group Pamela! I hope you'll find some new favorites here, and maybe introduce us to some new authors. Feel free to comment on the threads for any of the books we've already read, and i look forward to seeing you in the book discussions.

[Connie N.]

Hi there, Pamela, welcome aboard.

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Kate, welcome to the group! I hope you'll find some more favorite authors here.

[Jaxie]

Hello Pamela and Kate! I myself just joined a few days ago and I'm wondering why I never joined before. Everyone is so nice and as you'll find out or already did, it's a great opportunity to discover new books and enjoy sharing the same conversations with other cozy mysteries fans :)

[Connie N.]

Welcome, Kate, we're so glad to have you join us.

[Iamabibliophile]

Welcome Kate! Hope you join us for our August reads.

[Beth]

thanks, it'a tribute to my cat Viggo. Sadly he passed away but his memory is still strong! He was a very loving cat!

[Joanne]

Hello! I'm Joanne and I love reading cozies. I think I was a fan long before I even realised they were called cozy mysteries, but I discovered Edie Clare last year and was hooked. I can't read books with gory bits or upsetting themes, but I do like a good mystery, which is why cozies are perfect for me. I am an author, but don't worry - I'm here in this group as a reader to discover new authors and make some new cozy friends.

Welcome, Joanne. I like all mysteries, but cozies are my real love. I've written three books now and two are cozies.

Welcome Clare! Enjoy the group. I certainly am . I joined not long ago and it has given plenty of reading choices and also the opportunity of meeting new friends. Happy readin!g

Hello to all who are new. I am new as well. Cozy mysteries, my very favorite genre.

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Joanne, welcome to the group! I also read a lot of cozies before ever hearing the term. Cozies are great for reading anytime, and you don't have to sleep with the lights on after finishing one :)

[[deleted user]]

jaxnsmom how true! There was a rougher mystery series that actually gave me nightmares. I had to drop that series. I love light mysteries.

[Rebecca]

Hi everyone. My name is Rebecca and I like cozies (feels like introductions time at AA. . . ). Actually,what I really like are humorous mysteries. Charlotte MacLeod. Nancy Atherton. I do not like blood and guts.

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome to the group Rebecca! For your intro you should have said, My name is Rebecca and I am a bookaholic :) Luckily, our group is about enabling that addiction!
