I look forward to your monthly listings. We use them at the public library (where I volunteer) to select books to purchase in the coming months. Several of our patrons are now “hooked” on many of the cozy mystery series… Just like me!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Roni, I’m glad that the lists are making your work a little easier and getting people hooked on Cozies!
Bek says
~does the happy dance because she has “Cat Shining Bright” on pre-order, adds “The Cat Cafe Mysteries” AND “Witch City Mysteries to her list, and wanders off muttering about MORE BOOKCASES…~
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Bek, it certainly looks like a good month for furniture shopping!
Nancy says
OH NO!!!!! So many good books!!!! I’m never going to get caught up. 🙂 Plus I just discovered Robert K. Tanenbaum, so I’m only on #2, and the new one is #29!!!! Aaaaarrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh……so many good books, way too little time!!!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Nancy, I know how you feel! My own to be read pile just keeps getting longer and longer every month.
Lillian E. says
I can see I am not getting anything done in Aug – so glad I’m retired. I think there are only 2 or 3 authors that I haven’t read recently and will definitely get up-to-date on those. Thank you for all your hard work keeping us informed. Makes it nice when we can contact library and request hold on books. Have a great summer and holidays.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Lillian, you’re very welcome, and you have a great summer as well!
Terry Maly says
I’m looking forward to Murder wears mittens by Sally Goldenbaum.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Terry, you’re not the only one!
Jacquie says
I am doing backflips (well, not literally, ’cause that wouldn’t be pretty) over the impending release of Handler’s new Stewart Hoag mystery! I loved that series, still have the other eight titles, and was so depressed when I thought there would be no more. Hurray!!!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Jacquie, I know – it’s always great when a favorite series you think was over comes back from a long break!
Bek says
OH CRUD!!! Why, OH WHY, did I come back to read the new comments? I just noticed Connie di Marco’s “Zodiac Mystery” series! How did this one slip by me for so long?
Well. 10 bookcases may still do the trick if I shelve two deep. ~wimper~
Danna, I hope you know how much we appreciate that you ALWAYS have something nice to say to EVERYONE who posts! Not all bloggers are so interactive!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Bek, I’m glad that you appreciate it. I like to try to interact with the community as much as possible to make sure people feel welcome here.
Lois Morimoto says
Can’t wait for Louise Penny’s Glass
Houses. Been waiting for a year, since her last release! Thank you for your monthly lists. Really appreciate them.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Lois, you’re very welcome!
Jan Gonder says
I like the fact that you let us know how far along each series is so we can find earlier books. It’s great to go back, then pick up where you are. Your column helps me find new authors and some I’d forgotten. Thanks so much for keeping us up to date!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Jan, you’re welcome, and I’m glad that these posts are helping people find new authors.
