Definitely a bookaholic. I am trying to stop buying them, on the grounds that our house may collapse under their weight. But there's always the library. . .

[jaxnsmom]

I LOVE my libraries!! Maybe you need to get a storage unit for the unnecessary items, and then you won't have to worry, and can keep your books :D

[Rebecca]

Ah. I can see you are an enabler!

Hello,
I'm Mary Ann. I live in Oklahoma City. I'm a librarian in the public library system. I've enjoyed many cozy mysteries through the years, and I'm launching a Cozy Mysteries book club, Murder on the Menu, in the fall. I thought this group would help me stay current with suggestions and information for the group.

I think we all enable each other here :D

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Mary Ann, welcome to the group! I hope you'll find lots good books here, and join in the discussions.

[Shirley]

Good evening from Banning, California. That is near Palm Springs and I am surrounded by beautiful mountains and experience heat, cold, breezes / winds daily, and love living in a rural environment.
I read/listen to around 150 books a year. I enjoy most genre except horror.
Challenges keep me moving on to the next book and I can still suit my mood.
I look forward to getting to know all of you who participate in the discussions.

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Shirley, welcome to the group! I hope you'll find some great cozies here. I look forward to discussing them with you.

[Nancy]

Hi, I'm Nancy J. Cohen. I write cozies as well as read them. When reading, I like immersing myself in the world of the sleuth and prefer humor in the books I read (and write). Lately I've been into historical mysteries.

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome to the group Nancy! I've read a few of the Bad Hair Day Mysteries and enjoyed them. I'm looking forward to discussing books with you.

Hello! I am Isis Sousa, a digital artist venturing into writing a Mystery/Dark Fantasy anthology and it has some of the elements of a "cozy mystery"!

The first short story is just published in order to promote the upcoming anthology book :)

So I guess being part of this group will bring me inspiration and insights! :)

[Nancy]

Thanks, glad to meet you on here.

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome to the group Isis.

[Kay]

Hi, I joined the group because of the Margaret Maron/Deborah Knott discussion. I recently rediscovered this series and have read all of the books except the most recent (Buzzard Table). It is so fun when you find a series that you can power through. I also did that recently with the series by Jill McGown (Inspector Lloyd and Judy Hill). So, I read mostly romance with the cozy mystery and other books thrown in. I am thinking of adding a room to the house just for books (ha).

[Donna]

Hello Kay, welcome.

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome to the group,Kay! I'm looking forward to rereading Bootlegger's Daughter. I agree, it's wonderful to discover an established series, you have so much to look forward to. I hope you'll stay around and join in reading some of our other books

[Lisa]

Hi, I'm Lisa. I'm an avid book reader and writer and I started my love affair with mysteries when I was 7 years old (Nancy Drew and 3 Investigators!). My interests are varied, but on a rainy night or a lonely weekend there is nothing better than a cozy mystery!

[jaxnsmom]

Hey Lisa, welcome to the group! It's always fun to spend some time with a cozy.

[Lisa]

Thanks Jaxnsmom! I'm headed to do exactly that! Cozy up and read!

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Nikki, welcome to the group! One place to tell us about your favorites is:

Hello Nikki. Hi to anyone new that I may have missed.

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome to the group Dana! You have lots of cozies to choose from with those selections. And, as you've probably noticed, one of our October books is a paranormal mystery. I look forward to seeing you in the discussions.

[Beth]

Welcome to the group, Dana, Nikki, Lisa, Kay, Isis, and anyone else I missed!

Lisa, I, too, started with the Nancy Drew series.

Dana, that bit about the kick-ass librarian made me laugh, because that's literally the protagonist of my Ninja Librarian books (though they aren't mysteries). But he definitely knows when to apply foot to backside.

Not that it was wish-fulfillment or anything, just because I work at the library. . .

[Donna]

Hello!
My name is Donna. I am Mich. Rural Reader on the Ammy threads in case anyone knows who that is. I live in a very rural area where libraries, book stores and reading pals are few and far between I love cozy mysteries and I see a lot of like minded people here and plenty of activity. I am looking forward to hearing what you all have to say and sharing a few thoughts of my own.

[Kathi]

Hello my name is Kathi Daley. I live in Lake Tahoe and love to read and write cozy mysteries set in small towns like the one I live in. I am new to this group and would like to participate in next months book club. I bought both the books for October. How do I join in the discussion? Will someone start a discussion thread?

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Donna, glad you found us! I look forward to discussing books with you. And it's not too late to join in the Title and Author challenges.

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome to the group Kathi! Discussion threads are usually set up right before, or on (when I lose track of time) the first of the month.

[Beth]

Welcome to the group, Kathi and Donna!

[Rhoda]

Hello, my name is Rhoda, I am looking forward to finding out about some great mysteries!

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome to the group Rhoda! I'm sure we can help you find some great cozies that you'll love.

[Pamela]

Welcome, Rhoda!

[Connie N.]

So glad to "meet" all of you. I'm glad you found us and will be participating in challenges and group discussions.

[Robyn]

Hi everyone,
My name is Robyn and I live in Livonia, Michigan. I enjoy reading mysteries, primarily cozy mysteries-love the mystery itself, but not all the gore!

Hi Robyn,
I live in Port Hope, Mi. I'm new here too. I enjoy cozy mysteries and also almost any mystery with Michigan as its setting.

[Robyn]

Hi Donna,
You know I don't think I've read very many books set in Michigan. I do enjoy the Abby Cooper series by Victoria Laurie, although I don't think I'm up to date.

[Kathi]

Hi Rhonda, Donna, Robyn, and anyone else I missed. I look forward to reading with you all.

Kathi

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome to the group Robyn! I'm not crazy about the gore either. Ihope you'll join us in this month's reads.

[jaxnsmom]

Donna and Robyn - Have you read the Anneka Haagen series by Susan Holtzer? It's set in Ann Arbor and a lot of the action takes place at the University of Michigan. The first book is Something To Kill For: When It Comes To Garage Sales, Finding A Treasure Can Be Murder....

Thanks to cozy-mystery.com for this info:
http://www.cozy-mystery.com/blog/myst...

I love the Chocoholic and Whiskey Mattimoe series, chocolates and dogs are two of my favorite things :)

[Robyn]

I did read the first book in the Susan Holtzer series. I'll have to check them out again-added to my ever-growing list!

[Donna]

I have not read any of the Susan Hotlzer series. I was not aware of them until today. Thanks for the rec. I am putting the first near the top of my list.

[Beth]

Welcome to the group, Rhoda and Robyn! Get ready for a lot of reading-related r&r! ;-)

[Robyn]

Thanks all!

[Nicola]

hi my name is Nicola and im glad I found this cozy mystery corner as I love cozy mysteries.. I`m hoping to get some suggestions .

[Robyn]

Hi Nicola,
Looks like members post quite a few selections. I prefer cozy or semi-cozy mysteries as well. A lot of gore is not my cup of tea.

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Nicola, welcome to the group. You'll find plenty of possibilites in several threads. What types of cozies are you interested in?

[Nicola]

I love M.C.Beaton`s Agatha Raisin series they are a fun read also like livia washburn as I always enjoy books to do with food, but its nice to have something different once in a while something you wouldn't normally pick up.
