[Rebecca]

Hello, My name is Rebecca. I joined Goodreads a while back but kind of fell off the wagon. I love to read and read all the time just not very tech savy... I do love to read everyones post on books to find new books to read. Just not to good at posting and such. Hope I can stay onboard this time and keep up with it! Oh! forgot to tell what books I read! LOL. I love mysteries... cozy ones, suspenseful ones, legal ones. Just about anything mystery!!!

[Lindsay]

Thanks so much for the congrats. It will be insanity but life is too short to be living it any way but almost off the rails...

[Beth]

[Michelle]

Hi my name is Michelle and I live in Kansas. I guess I have been reading some Cozy Mysteries and didn't even realize it. Interested in new authors to read this year and some humor thrown into the crime and mystery mix.

[Jaxie]

[Nicole]

I've joined the group a little while ago, but finally had the change to properly introduce myself. I'm Nicole, 26 years old and I'm from The Netherlands. By accident I stumbled across the Cozy Mystery genre and I more than love it!

I think I was still searching for that one genre I'd really love and I noticed mysteries were already in my corner, but with the Cozy ones, that just hits is! I also love to ready biographies, true event based books (like on world war 2) and history books.

I've been reading ever since I was a little girl and books were the greatest gift one could give. At one point the reading got pushed to a place in the back of my life due to various reasons, but now I'm picking it up again! I just love to read.

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome to the group, Nicole! I hope you'll find some new favorite cozies here. I love your avatar - Semm is beautiful!

[Nicole]

Thanks for the welcome!
Aahw, thank you! He is beautiful and very sweet!

[Carol]

Hi, my name is Carol and I live in the Catskill Mountains in New York State. I love to read cozies and want to find some new suggestions for reads and make some new friends.

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Carol, welcome to the group! I hope you'll find some great cozies and friends here. Are you enjoying the cold weather? ☺

[Carol]

Hi, I really have had a lot of reading time due to this really cold weather. Sure can't go outside. Brr!!

[jaxnsmom]

At least there's one benefit!

[Beth]

Welcome to the group, Nicole and Carol!

[Jaxie]

Welcome Nicole and Carol! I hope you find new titles, author and most importantly new friends just like I have done. This is an amazing group. Hope you enjoy it too :)

[Ginny Sue]

HI! My name is Ginny Sue and I love reading cozy mysteries. We retired back in Sept. 2010 and moved from Sacramento, CA to Mineral Ridge, OH and the long cold winters have turned me into a reader more then I've ever been. I have loved reading all of Laura Childs Tea Shop Mysteries and all of Melanie O'Hare's Traveling Tea Ladies. I am enjoying seeing what others are reading and my To Read list is growing! I'm looking forward to making new friends and hearing about different authors.

[Susan]

Hi! My name is Susan. I live in Southern California - a transplant from Chicago, Illinois. I'm a 5th grade teacher. My husband and I are empty nesters, but our two kids live close by. We had our first grandchild (daughter) in September! I've been an avid reader since childhood and love helping to spread the passion to my 5th grade students. Cozy mysteries are my favorite fun read. I look forward to reading and sharing with others that enjoy them too.

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Ginny Sue and Susan! Welcome to the group! Hopefully we'll all be able to share new books with each other. That's funny how Ginny Sue left CA for a cold winter place, and Susan left a cold winter place for CA :)

[Moondance]

Hi, my name is Cheryl and I live in NC. I work with a pediatric craniofacial surgeon and spend a lot of time in the OR. Reading is my escape. I belong to several groups and enjoy challenges. In addition to cozies I read paranormal/urban fantasy. Actually I will read pretty much anything!

[Scott]

Hi I'm Scott from upstate NY. I read almost every genre of book out there but my two favorite are fantasy and cozies (weird mix, I know).
Grew up on Agatha Christie and moved on to authors like...
Carolyn Hart
M.C. Beaton
Lorna Barrett

I love cozies but I'm not a big fan of themed cozy mysteries (cats, dogs, tea, baking etc. etc.) - looking for some recommendations.

I like great characters (Lorna Barrett, M.C. Beaton) and I like a puzzle to figure out (Agatha Christie).

Anyway - hello and looking forward to talking with everyone about books.

[Randee]

Carolyn Hart and M.C. Beaton are two of my favorites also. It's just a natural progression from Agatha Christie to writers like them I guess!

[James]

Hi, I am Jim from Jax, Fl.
I have recently become a big fan of Amish mysteries from authors Amanda Flower, Vanetta Chapman and Shelley Shepard Gray.
I also am a big fan of Carolyn Hart and some other authors whose books are set in the south.
I am interested in finding some good British cozy authors. I look forward to seeing the recommendations of fellow cozy mystery lovers.

Hi Jim - I can recommend MC Beaton for good British cozy reading. I really like the Hamish Macbeth series. I'm currently reading her Agatha Raisin series, and love it too!

[James]

Thanks for the tip Susan I will check this author out.

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome Scott! I hope we can help you find some great characters.

Have you read Alan Bradley's Flavia de Luce series? She may be young (preteen), but she's not your typical kid, she's quite a character.

I think Earlene Fowler's Benni Harper series is more character driven than themed.

And there's the Mrs. Pollifax series, by Dorothy Gilman.

[Milovesme]

Hello, my name is Chrystine from Indonesia. I started to read mystery in junior high school when I read Agatha Christie's and Conan Doyle's and directly fell in love with the genre. Then I continue to read Mary Higgins Clark's. I also love Meg Cabot's Heather's series

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Jim, welcome to the group! Sorry, I can't help you with British cozies, but I know there are people here, like Susan, who will be glad to make suggestions.

[Brittany]

Hello, everyone! I love a good, cozy mystery. My favorite mystery series is the Southern Sisters Mysteries by Anne George.

Can't wait to make new friends and discover new mysteries! :)

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome Brittany! I think we can help with finding new friends and authors :) It's not too late to join in reading this month's books and discussion.

[Jaxie]

Welcome Ginny Sue, Susan, Jim, Scott Chrystine and Brittany!!! Hope you all will enjoy this wonderful group and looking forward to share reviews, titles and recommendations. :)

[Christine]

Hi, my name is Christine and I love cozies! Themes I gravitate to - animal, paranormal (witches, ghosts), historical and cooking/baking. Right now I am reading Sweet Revenge by Andrea Penrose and I am really enjoying it. I also read general fiction, thrillers/mysteries and historical fiction.

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Christine, welcome to the group! I loved Sweet Revenge! I hope you'll join us in our monthly reads, and find some great new books.

[Lynda]

Hi,my name is Lynda and I live on an island off the coast of Brisbane Queensland Australia. I stumbled upon Cosy Mysteries through my love of reading anything Janet Evanovich writes.I love them and really enjoy a series.

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Lynda, welcome to the group! There are so many wonderful cozy series to discover, I don't think you'll have a problem finding some favorites. How is your access to books there? I know some Australians have trouble finding certain books, or the cost is crazy.

Welcome Lynda - which island? I'm down in Melbourne. :)

[James]

Welcome to the group Christine and Lynda. I hope you find this group to be as good a source for discovering new books and authors as I have.
Lynda and Jennifer I love reading cozies that are set in different areas and give the reader a feel for that location. I am currently reading and enjoying British author M.C. Beaton at the suggestion of people on this site. Do you have any suggestions for Aussie cozies.

[Alison]

Welcome Norma I hope you get plenty of inspiration. I have found this group a great resource for new books.

Kerry Greenwood. She writes two series set in Melbourne; one modern day and one that takes place in 1928-29. I love the second one, and I know quite a few that are fans of the first one. Both very well researched and describe Melbourne well.

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome to the group Norma! I see you're concentrating on female authors - there are so many wonderful ones out there in every genre. Good luck on your quest!!

[James]

Thank you Jennifer! I am currently reading MC Beaton getting in the mood for my vacation to the UK this summer. My wife and I want to go to Australia next so now I have an author to look forward to for that trip as well. Thanks again.
