Hello! My Name Is...
I live in Caroline County, it's right between Fredericksburg and Richmond...about an hour south of DC. I know a few people who went (or are currently going) to Liberty out in Lynchburg and I have a few friends from NoVa, too. Where are you in WV? I have some friends in Morgantown.

I'm in Charleston. I've been here 8 years and would like to move back to VA. My sister lives in Stafford, and might be moving to Richmond. Many, many years ago I had a boyfriend from that area, I think it was Ruther Glen - really close to King's Dominion. Hope you don't have to spend too much time on I95!
Ruther Glen and Kings Dominiion are just down the road! Who was your old boyfriend?
Hi i'm abby and i'm 14 years oldI am a student in high school and a major addicts to books. All the librarys of the area know me and they automatically check for my books. I am a major mystery book reader, but i will read others if they seem interesting. Umm.. I am the middle child of 5 kids and have a family of 7. We have 2 dogs and 4 cats. This is my first group and i'm excited :D thanks for letting me join.

Heidi - his last name was Covington, but I'm sure he hasn't lived there for at least 25 years.
The only Covington that I knew was the old principal of the middle school. I think that he either died or moved away a long time ago. It would have been funny if I had known your friend, though! :)
Good Morning to all! My name is Melissa. I live in Hogansville, GA with my Husband, our 3 children, and 3 dogs. I am an avid reader and crafter. I just discovered cozy myseries and want to read them all...LOL. I am also new to Good Reads. I am excited about finding out more about the cozy mystery series.
Hello! My name is Alyson and I was born in raised in Indiana where I now reside with my husband and daughter. I'm a writer, but I'm also an avid reader. I LOVE books! I'm eclectic in what I choose to read each day, yet I'm also selective. Some of today's best sellers simply don't appeal to me. It's the story content that matters, not the popularity. While I read romance, westerns, thrillers, and women's fiction, I adore a really good detective/mystery story. The Victorian Mrs. Jeffries mysteries are what first hooked me to cozies. I like that I can read them without being confronted by too much violence and/or sexual material. Not that I don't read (or write) books with those issues in them, but on some days I'm definitely not in that kind of mood. Thank you so much for allowing me into this awesome group! I look forward to being introduced to new cozy mysteries to read.
Hi folks! I'm Laura, from the Chicago suburbs. Single and work in banking operations. I used to read a lot (5-6 books a weekend was par for the course), but haven't found as much time lately. I blame facebook! lol
I love cozy mysteries - started reading Agatha Christie by age 10 or so. Current faves are Beaton, Davidson, Daheim, Atherton... oh heck, here are so many!!
I've been reading a lot of historical fiction lately, especially those involving European royalty (Tudors, Lancasters, Yorks, Eleanor of Aquitaine, etc.). I am a big fan of John Grisham (in the middle of King of Torts) and the Harry Potter books, too.
I'm looking forward to finding new series here! And yes, I have to start from the beginning!!!!
Hi, I'm Cheryl and I'm from Wyoming where I live with my husband, 3 boys, 3 cats, 3 dogs, and a revolving array of fish. I am an equal opportunity mystery lover and had the fortune of being able to take two separate detective fiction classes in college which introduced me to so many wonderful authors.I read a lot of cozies, but I also enjoy a good procedural or PI novel as well. Actually, I read just about anything depending on my mood.
I'm looking forward to discovering new series and interacting with others who share my cozy passion.
Welcome Cheryl :D hope you find this group "Cozy"

Hello all...I'm Carrie. I am a stay at home mom. So lots of free time which I use either by playing on the internet or reading. I read just about anything and everything. I have a daughter(11) who is also an avid read and a son(3) who will sit for about 3 pages and then he's done. I'm excited about joining and can't wait to meet everyone/join in discussions.

Hi! I'm Susan. I live in the Salt Lake City, UT area and work full-time as a controller for a medical device company. I LOVE to read, and cozy mysteries are one of my favorite genres. I usually read on my lunch hour and whenever else I can find time.Authors that I like and consider "cozy" include Kathryn Hall Page, Jane Cleland, and Earlene Fowler. Any one else read any of those?
Hi Susan and welcome to the Cozy Mystery group. I like the Kathryn Hall Page and Earlene Fowler mysteries, too. I haven't tried Jane Cleland, but I guess I need to put those on my list!
Mod
I know I've missed people to welcome to the group so I'm just giving a general welcome to all I've missed. :)
Hello all....I'm Rozi!! I'm from Ohio, where I live with my hubby, 3 dogs, and 2 sons. Just recently figured out what a "cozy" mystery was, even though I've been reading them for years!! LOL
Welcome Rozi. 3 dogs, that's awesome. :)

Hi everyone, I'm a cozy fan from Scotland. I'm new to Goodreads but glad to find a group dedicated to cozies. It was so hard to find anyone who liked cozies in Scotland that I've started a real-life cozy mystery book group in Glasgow. I like Marian Babson, M C Beaton, Rebecca Tope and the cat who series.
Welcome, Kim! I love Scotland!! I visited 10 years ago and can't wait to go back again! :)
Welcome to the group new members! Rozi...where in Ohio? I am in a suburb of CLE.

Hi. I'm Chris from New Jersey. I love cozies and I've already got a sagging shelf full. I'm a stay at home mom, though I guess since my girls are pretty well grown I'll have to start calling myself a "homemaker". LOL! I'm hoping to jump into the April reading.
Hi, I am Jackie from Ohio and I live in a suburb of Cleveland with my husband, baby and Yorkie. I can't really remember a time when I couldn't read and I love cozies! Glad to be part of the group!
Hi Chris and Jackie -- Welcome to the group!

I haven't read it yet but I have it on my Nook.
Hi all, I forgot to introduce myself. I´m Anita, 35 years old, and I live in the middle of Sweden (originally from Germany). Every now and then I have to read cozies. They make my days a little bit happier;) It´s also a nice excuse to take a break from my rather "serious" reading.I love all the stuff from Charlotte MacLeod, esp. her Prof Peter Shandy Mysteries.
