Hello! My Name Is... Showing 101-150 of 1,299

[Amy]

Hi Anita! Welcome!

[LynnB]

Hi Anita! I love Charlotte MacLeod mysteries, too ... I think I've read all of her series. Welcome to the group.

[Anita]

Her books/series are hard to find in bookstores. I am glad to have german copies, but I am eager to get her series in English as well.

[Carrie]

I've been meaning to post here and say hello for a while now.

Thank you Stephanie for the invite to this group--way back whenever that was lol.

I'm Keri and I'm displaced again--living in Ohio right now dealing with my dad's estate (something I did a few years back) though my real home is back in Texas. Was pretty sick for a while dealing with Menieres (easiest way to describe is it's an inner ear imbalance) but feeling a little better and up to some reading again.

My sister gave me her old Kindle (gen 2) and so recently I also discovered just how nice it reading e-books. I like this group so much and the idea of cozy mysteries that I've decided to devote most of the books I read this year to the genre.

[Amy]

Hi Keri! Welcome!! :)

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Keri, ummm, belated welcome to the group :) Sounds like you've been dealing with a lot, and cozies may be just the thing torelax with. I hope you'll find some great books here and introduce us to some new ones.

[Rachel Anne]

Hi! I'm Rachel. I live in little 'ole Delaware and am currently in college-my major is Graphic Design.

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Rachel - welcome to the group! I saw The Lady Emily series by Tasha Alexander on your shelf and it looks really intriguing. I hope you'll join us in reading the May books and that you'll find some great new series here.

It's wonderful having new members. But it can also be a problem, since I have to go snooping through their shelves, and I end up adding more books to my tbr shelf. So thanks to all our members for bringing new series to my attention!

[Brittany S.]

Hi there! I just joined the group in search of some new good cozies so I thought I'd say hi.
My name is Brittany and I'm 25 from the Chicago 'burbs. I rekindled my love for reading a couple years ago, right about the same I happed to stumble upon and become obsessed with Goodreads! I love mysteries of all sorts, but mostly cozies and I also read some "chick lit" and love dystopia novels as well and I cannot stop buying books, although I guess I could have a worse obsession :)
I just started a review blog if anyone would like to check it out: The Book Addict's Guide

Thanks!!

[Leslie]

Hi, I'm Leslie and I find cozies a nice way to relax after a long day. Looking forward to connecting with readers who love this genre.

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome to the group, Brittany and Leslie. I hope you'll both enjoy it here. You're just in time to join in reading and discussing our books for May. So sit back, relax, and enjoy a good cozy.

[Leslie]

Thank you! Nice to feel welcome.

[Heather]

Hey I am Heather :D I write a book review blog http://bookwormrflects8.blogspot.de/

I first fell in love with cozies when I read With a name like that I could not resist!

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Heather. It seems like a lot of cozies have great titles to make us laugh, and want to pick them up!

[Denise]

Hi! I'm Denise, and I love cozies! I'm a computer programmer (although currently unemployed), and I live in MA with my two cats, Romeo and Khan. I've been reading since I was 3, and mysteries have been my favorite genre most of my life. Cozies are my favorite subgenre; I tend to consider most of the ones I really like as cozies, although not all of them follow all of the 'rules' (I think there are plenty of cozies with non-amateur sleuths). I think it is really the overall feel and atmosphere that makes it a cozy.

I belong to another cozy group here on GR, and am enjoying it, but there are so many members and threads, it can be a bit overwhelming. This group looks more manageable (or dare I say - cozy!). I like the way you are doing the monthly reads, but I probably will not participate too much, since I have more than enough series (and non-mysteries, too) to keep me busy! I'm not looking for any new series at the moment, because I know I would get hooked, and I don't have the time, money, or space for that! LOL! I will really enjoy just chatting about cozies, and if you do the first book of any series I have, I will try to join in.

[Maria]

Hi Everyone! I am Maria, a 30 yr Chicagoan. The winters find me curled up on the sofa with my two beagles reading and the summers find me at a coffee shop or any small restaurant reading. Looking forward to making friends and expanding my current book choices!

[Ely]

Hi! I'm Shona and I'm an about-to-graduate linguistics major with suddenly a lot of time to catch up on reading. My mother got me into murder mysteries of all kinds as a teenager, from Agatha Christie to The Cat Who... series. I'm here to dive right back into that genre upon my graduation this month (since I have all of my other favorite genres handily covered). And at this moment, I am looking forward to reading that new Bibliophile Mystery book. It looks like something right up my alley.

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome Denise. The intimidating size of the other group is one of the reasons this group was started.

Welcome Maria. You should check out our bookshelf. My two dogs are too big to sit with me, so I get the recliner and they get the couch.

Welcome Shona. Congratulations on graduating! And on having more time to read :)

I hope you'll all find some great cozies here.

[Katie]

My names Katie, I live in California and I really like online book clubs. I like knowing that I can have a discussion with people who have been reading the same book as I. I also like having books reccommended to me so I can try something new. I read whenever I have free time, which isn't often but I make the most of it. Can't wait to meet you guys

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Katie. Welcome to the group. Hopefully you'll find some good books here.

[Sofia]

Hello All! I'm Sofia, living and working in beautiful San Francisco, CA. Single and mommy of four adorable doggies! I work full time as an auditor and part-time as a nanny for two amazing kids that I have come to love very much :). I didn't even know CM was a genre, so this is broadening my horizons! Very avid reader and my favorite place of peace is the library :)

[Evon]

Hi I'm Evon I live in New Mexico and this is my first goodreads group . I'm very excited

[Gary]

Hi all - I'm Gary and although I usually read more harder edged crime fiction I do enjoy a good cozy. I'm currently well into the Agatha Raisin series which I find both hilarious and suspenseful.

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome to the group!

Sofia - Sounds like you've got your hands full. Sounds like you need some relaxing reading.

Evon - Thanks for choosing us as your first group!

Gary - It's great having so many different genres and levels of seriousness within each one. There's always something to fit your mood.

Hope ya'll enjoy the group and will join the discussions.

[Susie]

Hi! I'm Susie. I'm a California girl now living in Kansas and I love cozy mysteries ;) My TBR pile is pretty high, but I always love to hear about new books!

[[deleted user]]

I'm Elizabeth & was with this group at the beginning, but had left. I can now post again, so I've decided to come back.

I'm an avid Thoroughbred Racing fan. In addition to cozy mysteries, I enjoy Christian fiction, some non fiction, and horse racing books, of course!

Good to be back.

[ChrisGA]

I was just looking through the Cozies I'm reading now thread and found there is another "Chris". Unfortunately, I didn't realize it until I posted several responses yesterday--my first day on the site. I'll change my name to ChrisGA since I am the newbie. Remember, I'm the senior citizen Chris.

[Flora]

Hey everyone. I'm Flora! Before I found this group, I didn't know that "cozy mystery" is a genre and I pretty much thought I was the only one who's into it. Well, aren't I glad I found you guys. :D

Good morning everbody. My name is Carolyn. I joined Cozy Mysteries today. I'm 65 [66 on Friday] and love to read. Will be retiring soon and will have MORE time to read. I've been a avid horror reader fan, but got into mysteries.
Right now I'm reading Charles Todd's A Pale Horse. It's book 10 in the Ian Rutledge series. I am so hooked on Todd. I can't wait to read the next three in this series.
Thank you for allowing me to be a member. I think I'm gonna like it here.

[[deleted user]]

Hi my name is Tilly,
i live in Australia, and i'm a bit of a fussy reader.

[Diane]

Hi, my name is Diane. This is the first group I have joined. I have just discovered cozy mysteries and I love them!

[Rachelle]

Hi I am Rachelle and am looking forward to being a part of this group.

[jaxnsmom]

Hi Susie! Welcome to the group. I'm sure we'll be able to help your TBR pile topple over.

Welcome back Elizabeth! Glad you decided to re-join us.

That's ok Chris. Another way people distinguish themselves is with an avatar. Sometimes we even change our avatars to mess with people :)

Hey Flora! I'm glad you found us, and hope you find some new series here, and maybe introduce us to some new ones.

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome Carolyn! Glad to have you here and hope you'll enjoy it. I think we'll be able to help you find something to read when you retire :) We're happy

Hi Tilly. Welcome to the group. I hope you'll find some cozies that you'll like.

Diane - Thanks for choosing us to be your first GR group! I hope you'll find many great cozies - check out our bookshelf.

Welcome Rochelle! I hope you'll enjoy the group and find some great books.

[Amy]

Hi everyone ... welcome!!!

[Deb]

Hi everyone,

My name is Debbie and I live in Pennsylvania. I love all types of mysteries especially Cozies,I also love the British detective books. I read all the time and spend time with my grand kids.

[Erin]

Hello!

My name is Erin and I live in Nevada. I'm new to the genre although I've read a few of them including . I'm interested in getting exposed to more themes like tea, wine, and if anybody knows of a book/series that involves nurses and I would love to know about it.

[Angela]

Hi, I'm Angela Parson Myers from Central Illinois. I write urban fantasy, but I read in many genres. I started reading Joanna Campbell Slan's Kiki Lowentein scrapbooking series in the middle, and just started the first in the series. No, I don't scrapbook, just like the character Joanna created in Kiki. : - ) Looking forward to getting to know readers from around the world.

[Rosalee]

Hi! I'm Cyndi and I live in Texas. I have always been an avid reader - particularly fiction (had all the Alcott books and still have a full set of Nancy Drew)... I enjoy all mystery, but find the 'cozy' to be a welcome break from the technical (science) type I read in my job (professor). As with MaryAnn, looking forward to discovering new authors and e-friends...

Hi all,

[jaxnsmom]

I'm going to do some maintenance work on the group. I'll be moving many of the posts from the "Hello and Welcome" topic to this one. Then I'm going to rename that folder "What is a Cozy?" That way we'll have one topic for members to introduce themselves, and another with the definition of a cozy. I hope everyone will use the What is a Cozy topic to share their opinions on the definition.

Thanks for the invite! I've never heard of a cozy mystery, but this sounds fun. I can alway use nice light reading!


message 3: by Sally906 Dec 27, 2011 06:35pm
Thanks for the invite. I do enjoy cosy mysteries and are part of my yearly reading diet - everything in moderation. I can't promise to read every book, as not always available in Oz or for kindle downloads, but will try as much as i can and share those I do read.


message 4: by Linda Dec 27, 2011 07:02pm
A member of my book club recommended this group. I love cozies=especially food books.
Last year i went on a cozy tear and discovered many new authors like Jessica Beck-who does a doughnut bakery series.
I have not read either of this month's books but look forward to discovering new cozy books and authors.
By the way my name is Linda and i live in Texas.


message 5: by Kristina Dec 27, 2011 09:04pm
Thanks Stephanie for the invitation. I like a cozy mystery on a weekend under the blankets. Perfect timing to start this group Stephanie. In Ohio, this is the type of book to read during the winter months ahead.


message 6: by LynnB Dec 27, 2011 09:08pm
Thanks for inviting me, Stephanie! I used to read a heavy diet of cozies, but the Bees group got me going on much more of a literary bent. I still read 3-4 cozies a month, but it will be fun to meet some of the new characters that I haven't had a chance to red about yet.


message 7: by Amy Dec 27, 2011 09:38pm
Thanks for the invite, Stephanie! I want to explore the cozy mystery more in 2012.

Thanks for the invitation, Stephanie. When I was at B&N yesterday, I picked up the latest installment of what I consider a guilty pleasure and now realize is a cozy mystery! Looking forward to some fun reading!

Thanks for inviting me Stephanie -

Last winter I read a cozy series centered around a winery - and it had the recipes for the meals they cooked in it! Fun series. (will find what they were called and post...)

Well, crap on a dipstick! My fingers are getting sore and I totally blame YOU, STEPHANIE!! I am going through cozy-mystery.com and readersadvice.com to make a list of cozies I have read. I already have 20 authors to add to my read cozy mystery shelf, and who knows how many books that means! And that's only the A's and B's!! I can tell this is going to be a time consuming effort, and I just wanted you to know - IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!! As I said when I joined the group, I don't know whether to thank you or kill you :D

Hi, and welcome Melinda! Hope you'll have fun here and add a lot of new books to your tbr shelf! As far as your question, probably a little of both. I'm friends with some of the people in the group, but not all of them. A lot of times, I think people ask to friend someone with similar taste in books. That means we all snoop through other's shelves :) Or we'll friend someone who's reviews we trust. It's really up to you. By the way, the books by SARK look really interesting and I'm going to have to check them out - thanks!

I also must start at the beginning of a series, regardless of whether people tell me that it "just doesn't matter".


message 35: by LynnB Mar 02, 2012 04:19pm
Me, too. If I'm going to enjoy a series, I need to know the whole character development.


message 36: by jaxnsmom Mar 02, 2012 05:02pm
I usually like to start at the beginning of a series. Otherwise you miss some of the character development, or changes in relationships. I find, because of those, I don't like to go back to the prior books - they seem more like prequels then. I don't care for prequels in movies either. But if a series has a ton of books and started years ago, I might start more towards the middle. I know I'll never have time for all of the books, and the earlier ones might be dated. Then I'm okay with picking a certain point and starting from there.

Cozy mysteries are my favorite! Thank you for the invitation.


message 38: by Susan Mar 15, 2012 10:53am
Just joined the group. One of my favorite genres are mystery series -- without much sex, profanity or gory violence in them, so I'm assuming those are considered cozy mysteries. Happy to find this group and discover more authors to read!

Our computer is on a steady downward spiral and is only working sporadically, so please pardon my absence. I use an iPad at work during the day, but I do not like to use it for anything other than superficial internet surfing and house hunting! It is just annoying for much else, and you will probably always be able to tell when I am typing on it! My English major traits go out the window.

I will be ducking in and out, but until we get moved and settled in, it will be difficult for me to do a great deal of posting.

Good morning, I'm Deb from NC and although I like most genres my absolute favorite are cozies! I love culinary cozies (I call them food porn), dog or cat cozies, series and female authors. Like you Ken I also enjoy cozies with psychologists as the protagonist. I'm also a huge Agatha Raisin fan. I'm looking forward to finding some brand new series from the group. I just purchased the two books for this month so I'm off to a good start!

Hi Laura, glad you found us. There are so many great characters out there, I'm sure you can find some new ones here.

Welcome Deb. I love the idea of food porn! Glad you've already found some new series.

Hi Chris. Thanks for choosing this as your first GR group! You should check out our bookshelf.

Welcome Laura! I'm so glad you chose us as your first group. I've read the series you mentioned, and enjoy all three.

I look forward to seeing ya'll in the discussions.

Thanks Jaxnsmom. I'm excited about the group too as I've already seen some postings for some series I've missed. I'm also a fan of Lucy Stone and Laura Childs too.

Hey, ladies (and any gents who may be lurking). My name is Cindy, and I am in the middle of moving back to California from Mexico. My favorite cozies usually come from the UK and contain Miss Marple-type sleuths and/or books. Happy to be in this group!

Oops, Rachelle. I just noticed I misspelled your name in my welcome. Sorry about that.

Welcome to our newest members!

Hey Debbie. Maybe you'll introduce us to some new British cozies.

Hi Angela! Hope you'll find some more enjoyable characters and meet some interesting people here.

Hi Cyndi! As a professor, do you enjoy cozies involving academia, or avoid them as part of your escape?

Hey Cindy! Another British cozy enthusiast. You and Debbie should compare books. You can help introduce us to British series.

Welcome to the group Erin. There are several tea and wine series on our bookshelf. As far as nurses, I know of a couple.

Lori Avocato has a series with Paulina Sokol, an ex–nurse turned medical insurance fraud investigator.

Candy Calvert's Darcy Cavanaugh is an ER nurse, who solves mysteries while on cruises.

[Kristin]

Hi, I'm Kristin. My shelves are loaded with Elizabeth Peters, Barbara Michaels, Dorothy Sayers and Charlotte McLeod. I'm looking for some newer books and series with clever dialogue and tricky plots.

I will confess here in the introductions that I've written a cozy YA mystery called SUSPECT,but I promise, promise, promise that I won't be repeatedly and obnoxiously advertising that fact.

[jaxnsmom]

Welcome Kristin. Congrats on your books. Being an author is who you are, so it's very appropriate to mention it in your intro. But thank you for promising not to be obnoxious :D

Hope you find some great new series here.
