Hello! My Name Is... Showing 1,251-1,299 of 1,299

[Vaseem]

Hello, my name is Vaseem. I am an author and avid cosy crime reader (the No 1 Ladies Detective agency series is my favourite.) As an author I write a light-hearted crime series set in India and featuring a baby elephant. The first book in my series The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra is a Times Saturday bestseller, Waterstones Book Club selection and Amazon Best Debut pick. I've posted further details in the Authors section for anyone interested. From this group I'd love recommendations for other cosy crime series that I haven't yet discovered!

Welcome Beth, Laurel and Vaseem

Beth - Have you read Working Stiff by Annelise Ryan? I think the author is a nurse.

Laurel - I'm a fan of Cleo Coyle's Coffeehouse series too. The cozy mystery site you mention is a favorite in this group.

You will all find a lot of cozies mentioned on this site. Check out the favorite series discussion in the Cozy Q&A folder.

[Beth]

Thanks for the recommendation Nell I will check it out!

Hi Laurel and Vaseem. Welcome to the group! It's nice to have you joining us.

[Colleen]

Hi all! I'm Colleen, and I'm pretty new to the mystery genre. Even more new to cozy mysteries. I'm in California, and I absolutely love reading, drawing, and playing music. I've already got a book on hold from the Meg Langslow series, and I'm looking forward to getting into it, probably because I've read so many serious books, but I'm interested in actually laughing out loud while reading. Such a foreign concept, but incredibly intriguing.

Question, though: Has anyone read Mrs. Pollifax? Would those books count as cozy mysteries?

[Laura]

Hello everyone!

My name is Laura and I was so excited to find this group. I used to read a lot of cozy mysteries (especially the craft/cooking ones) and I am wanting to get back into the genre. It looks like I found the perfect group for that. I'm looking forward to exploring all the fun and getting to know everyone!

[Nell]

Welcome to CMC Laura. You will find a lot of cozies here. Our bookshelf has cozies by category. That's a good place to start exploring cozies with a craft or cooking theme.

[Lesley]

Hi everyone,

My name is Lesley and I am super excited about this group!! I love all things cozy and can't wait to start exploring the bookshelf to see what I can choose from. This is going to be awesome!! Everyone have a wonderful day :)

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome Colleen. I've read all the Mrs. Pollifax books and I consider then to be cozies.

Welcome Laura and Lesley! There are so many fun types of cozy mystery. I love the animal related ones - especially dogs :)

I love Mrs. Pollifax! I think they definitely fall into the cozy category.

Welcome Colleen - Somehow I missed your post!
I love the Meg Langslow series. Just finished Lord of the Wings which is set during Halloween. Her books are fun to read with characters I'd like to meet though I wouldn't want all those people and animals living in my house.

Hi my name is Cathy.... I have been reading since I was little

[Dianne]

Hello to all! My name is Dianne, I live in Maryland near Annpolis. I have been on Goodreads for a while but just started to look at 'groups' to find other readers with the same interests as me... and how nice it is to find you all! I am a person that always has a book going... in the car on cd, on the Kindle and in book form. Thanks for adding me to the group :-)

[Nell]

Welcome Cathy and Dianne! We're always glad to have new cozy readers in our group.

[Amy]

Hello my name is Amy! I live in the suburbs of a small town in Pennsylvania. I love mysteries and just recently hopped on the cozy mystery train and I'm really enjoying what I've read so far! I look forward to participating in this group because 2 chronic illnesses keep me house bound a lot so groups are my socialization! I've already started one of the books for November and am almost done. Thanks for having such a great group for us cozy lovers to go to.

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome Cathy, Dianne, and Amy! Reading is a great way to find other people with the same interests.

[Beth]

Welcome to the group, Colleen, Laura, Lesley, Cathy, Dianne, Amy, and anyone else I missed since last checking this thread. Colleen, I know Donna Andrews and love her Meg Langslow series. It's laugh-out-loud funny.

[Julia]

Hello everyone, i am Julia, 32 years old and from Assen in The Netherlands. Next to my biggest passion Motocross I love to read.I don't have much patience to read a book but when i'm reading a CM i can read for hours! I love stories that are set in little villages in England like M.C.Beaton books or Agatha Christie. I like to travel to the U.K. as often as possible to buy new CM books because most of the time there are no Dutch translated books available and even though i do read most of them on my Kobo i like actual books better.On my last trip I bought some 'A Bakeshop Mystery' by Ellie Alexander books....love it!

[Nell]

Welcome Amy and Julia

Amy - Glad to see you jumping right into the group reads. Be sure to post a comment in the featured read thread to let us know what you thought.

Julia - Have you read G.M. Malliett? Her Max Tudor series is set in a small English village with a former MI-5 agent turned vicar as the main character.

Oooh no I have not. Thanks!Sounds like a tougher version of Father Brown (which I loved)!

[Helen]

Love the sound of GM Malliett, and haven't heard of them before. Thank you, Nell, for the suggestion. I'm going to look them up.

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome Julia! I hope you'll find some more recommendations here.

Perfect, thanks! My mom read at least a few of them over a decade ago, but they've always been in the back of my mind's TBR list. I'll have to see if she still has any of them. :)

[iasa]

I'm Iasa. When I'm not reading I spend a lot of time hiking and fishing. I read mostly mysteries, lately I've rediscovered my liking for cozies.

[Nell]

Welcome Iasa. You'll find a lot of cozies to read here. Since you like hiking and fishing, you might enjoy Beth Groundwater's Outdoor Adventure series. The first one is Deadly Currents.

[Diane]

Diane and I live in South Somerset, UK... and I'm brand new to Goodreads so expect some mistakes from me while I find my feet.

Comment from Misty:

"I'm new to this group but would like to join in on a book club. Someone please help....thanks."

[Nell]

Welcome to the group Diane and Misty. Have fun exploring the site.

Everyone is new at some point, Diane. You'll soon find our feet. There's a folder with tech help that might answer some of your questions.

Misty - The group has two featured reads each month. The books are posted on the main page and discussed in the featured reads folder. Feel free to comment on any of them. We also host a serial reader challenge each month where members pick series for each other.

[iasa]

Thanks Nell, I will be sure to check it out.

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome Iasa, Diane, and Misty! Old or new to cozies or GR, we're always glad to help with any questions.

Thanks for the recommendation, Nell, and welcome to the group, Iasa! I'm an avid lover of the outdoors, too, skiing and snowshoeing in the winter and hiking and biking in the summer in Colorado.

[Beth]

And I'll extend warm welcomes to Julia, Diane, and Misty, too!

Welcome to the group, Alice! Since you like paranormal cozies, I assume you are familiar with the Aunt Dimity ghost cozy series written by fellow Colorado mystery author Nancy Atherton.

Welcome Meg. I'm in West Virginia, and we have temperatures anywhere between 30 and 65. Apparently we can't decide what season it is.
