In case you are looking for more books to join your other TBR books already at home>>> here are some “Mostly” Cozy Mystery Books that will be released during December 2007. I already have them posted on the site, but thought that maybe I should bring them to your attention… just in case you are a fan of one of the authors and think that you are caught up with all of their releases. (There aren’t too many authors with whom I am caught up!) I actually have two shelves full of my TBR books…. and that is two packed/jammed shelves. I have the books on each shelf crowded into three rows, one in back of the other. And, of course, since I am obsessed with order, they are alphabetized by author and then chronologically ordered by date of publication. I guess that it’s safe to say that in case of a quarantine (Do they still have those?), I am “set to go” with my reading!

Miranda Bliss….. Dead Men Don’t Get the Munchies

Sammi Carter….. Peppermint Twisted

Barbara Cleverly….. Folly du Jour

Kate Collins….. A Rose from the Dead

Lonnie Cruse….. Fifty-Seven Heaven

Monica Ferris: Knitting Bones

Lee Goldberg….. Mr. Monk in Outer Space

Sue Grafton….. “T” is for Trespass

Sarah Graves….. The Book of Old Houses

Ellen Hart….. The Mortal Groove

Kay Hooper….. Blood Dreams

Roberta Isleib….. Preaching to the Corpse

J. A. Jance….. Hand of Evil

Leslie Meier….. St. Patrick’s Day Murder

Charles Todd….. A Pale Horse

Marilyn Todd….. Blind Eye
