[Michael]

Hi, I'm Michael from south Florida. Fairly new to cozies, but have enjoyed what I've read so far. Nice go get away from the hardcore and read something more focused on characters than mayhem.

[Nell]

Welcome to Cozy Mystery Corner Michael. Cozy mysteries focus more on the characters and on solving the puzzle with less attention on the crime. You will find lots of new mysteries to read here.

Welcome Michael :-)

[Laura]

Welcome, Michael! I'm with you in preferring stories that focus on character, maybe have some humor, and can create suspense and tension without a lot of gore.

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Michael. Cozies are great for relaxing and getting to know the characters and the setting. And there are so many different themes and varying degrees of seriousness.

Hi, Liz--What part of Alabama are you in? My daughter just committed to UA. (We live in Colorado.) Roll Tide!

[Nell]

Welcome to the group Liz. I grew up in Alabama and visit family there several times a year. In fact, I'm heading to 'Bama for Mother's Day.

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome Liz. I hope you'll join in the discussions. Maybe you'll find some new cozies and introduce us to some of your favorites.

Hello All!

Welcome Nicki :-) Agatha Christie is my all-time favourite mystery author...! And I love cakes too :-)

[Nell]

Welcome Debbie and NJ. You will discover lots of cozy authors here.

[Linda]

Hello, everyone! My name is Linda, and I'm in central Minnesota, not far from the Twin Cities. I love to read, and although I read just about everything in my younger years, now that I'm retired I stick to the cozy side of the street for the most part, although I enjoy any mystery that doesn't have in-your-face violence, serial killers, children or women in jeopardy, spies, or torture. Currently I'm reading one of Nancy Atherton's Aunt Dimity books, a series I really love.

Welcome to the group Linda. Aunt Dimity is definitely cozy. If you like paranormal mysteries, you might want to try Carolyn Hart's series starting with Ghost at Work or Lowcountry Boil by Susan M. Boyer.

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Linda. It looks like we have a lot of books in common - even more since I added some of yours to my tbr. I hope you'll find some books here to add to your tbr.

[Anne Louise]

Greetings, everyone! I am Anne Louise Bannon, but folks just call me Anne. I am constantly reading. My biggest problem is stopping reading long enough to post reviews on GoodReads. Or participate in groups. But I saw this one and actually have a couple friends on it already.

I live in Southern California. I read a lot of different things, but seem to prefer women authors. Some faves include Crocodile on the Sandbank and the Lord Peter Whimsy series, though I do like Aunt Dimity. Right now I'm reading the latest in Sharon Short's Stain Busting Mysteries.

Welcome Anne :-) Dorothy L. Sayers is one of my favourite authors of Golden-Age Mystery...!

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Anne, welcome to the group! Years ago my sister and I went through a phase where we were reading mysteries by female authors and with female protagonists. I really enjoyed the stain busting series, and just discovered Amelia Peabody last year.

I haven't yet tried any of Boyer's books, but I love Carolyn Hart's Ghost series. I also read her Death on Demand series (some are good, some not so much).

Thanks much! I hope I'll find some new authors to try!

The setting for Boyer's novel is similar - an island off the coast of South Carolina - but the MC is a PI who carries her gun in her designer handbag. Her childhood best friend shows up from time to time to offer comments and advice. A bit unnerving since she's been dead for several years! The first one won the Agatha Award for best first mystery.

[Lonely Panda]

Hello! My name is Panda! I love to read, I always have a book with me. I like mysteries and fantsay, recently I started a collection of cosy mystery books and I loved it. One of my favorite is Hounding the pavement by Judi McCoy. I joined this group to meet other people who liked the same kind of books and discover new series!

[Nell]

Welcome Panda. You will definitely discover new series here! Check out the featured series each month.

[Terrie]

Hi My name is Terrie Moran and I am a huge cozy fan.

I saw you were reading Carbs and Cadavers (a supper club mystery) and since I always wanted to read that series, I decided to buy the book and join-up.

I've been following along for a few weeks and am finally brave enough to jump in.

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Panda, welcome to the group! I've stolen some fantasy books from your tbr and hope you find some cozies to add to yours.

Welcome Terrie! I'm glad one of our monthly reads got you to jump in. I loved Well Read, Then Dead, books and food are two of my favorite things :)

[Beth]

Welcome to the group, Terri, Panda, Anne, Linda, Debbie, Liz, Michael, Amaya, and anyone else I missed while I was away on travel! Your to-read list is going to grow fast if you get active in the group. ;)

I was pleased to see that so many of you are enjoying fellow Colorado author Nancy Atherton's Aunt Dimity series. I've had the pleasure of meeting her in person and she's lovely to talk to.

Welcome Terri, your book Well Read, Then Dead is great...! :-) Like Jaxnsmom, I also enjoy the combination of food and books :-)

[Terrie]

Happy to be here. Thank you for your kind words about Well Read, Then Read. I'm still learning how to maneuver--so much going on!

[Terrie]

Ramla, thanks for the welcome and I am pleased you liked Well REad, Then Dead. I, too, believe that the combination of food and books can't be beat.

Welcome to the group Terrie. I enjoyed your book too. When does the second one come out? ;D

Thanks, Terrie

Hello all!

I just want to say hello and how much I have missed the group! I'm back after almost two years away. I have been able to read exactly one book in those two years but I'm happy to report my situation has vastly improved and I'm back!! Can't wait to start this month's reads! Also can't wait to meet new cozy fans and of course catch up with old friends.

[Nell]

Welcome back Iamabibliophile. Good to know that your situation has improved and you're once again able to live up to your name.:-)
