So, what have you been reading that you can recommend in August? 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.

July is almost over, so it’s time to discuss our favorite Cozy Mysteries that we have read this month! If you read a Cozy mystery this month and want to recommend it to the rest of us, be sure to post it here! It’s definitely been a good month for me, as I’ve reread the first entries of both Elizabeth J. Duncan‘s Penny Brannigan Mystery Series and the Book Collector Mystery Series by Victoria Abbott!
We’re reaching the end of June, so it’s time to discuss our favorite Cozy Mysteries that we haveread this month! If you read a Cozy mystery this month and want to recommend it to the rest of us, be sure to post it here! While I haven’t had time to read any Cozies this month for the site, I do heartily recommend the not-quite-Cozy spy series, the Mrs. Pollifax Series, by Dorothy Gilman. In this one case, I decided to break my own rules a bit – I can recommend it so strongly, I decided to add it to this list.
