May is over, so it’s time to discuss our favorite Cozies that we read this month! (As I mentioned last month, I’m doing these at the beginning of a new month as an experiment, though this time is later than I would prefer since I didn’t get a book review up in time. Let me know if you have a preference for this or the old timing!)

If you read a Cozy mystery this month and want to recommend it to the rest of us, be sure to post it here! For this month, I read the first entry of J.C. Eaton’s Sophie Kimball Mystery Series. For the reasons I want to recommend it, be sure to check out the blog entry!

So, what have you been reading that you can recommend in May? Please be sure to tell us why you liked these Cozies so much. I know we’re all always on the lookout for more particularly good Cozy Mystery authors! (If you have a lot of Cozies you think are great, please post the ones you like the most at the top of the list.)

As always, please do not tell us about the Cozy Mysteries you did not like.

March is over, so it’s time to discuss our favorite Cozies that we read this month! (As a side note, I think I’ll be doing these at the beginning of months now. I have traditionally done them at the end of the month, but since I am no longer doing some of the former features that went at the beginning of months, I think this might work better featuring on the 1st-3rd from now on.)
