If you’re interested in reading why I’m recommending these series, you can go to the Most Popular & Recommended Cozy Mystery Series page on my Cozy-Mystery site for my full write-ups on each of these great Cozy series.
So, what have you been reading that you can recommend in February? 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.

P.S. I usually don’t comment on your recommendations since they speak for themselves.
It’s the end of the first month of the year, so this will be our first Cozy Monthly recommendations for 2017! If you read a great Cozy in January, be sure to post it here! I haven’t had as much time as I would like to read unfortunately, so I only have one recommendation – Lucy Burdette‘s Key West Food Critic Mystery Series.
Well, the New Year will be coming up very soon, so it’s time for the last discussion of our favorite Cozy reading material of 2016! If you’ve read a great Cozy in December, be sure to post it here! This month, I read Lucy Arlington‘s Novel Idea Mystery Series, so I’ll start it off with that! (I also read Last Bus to Woodstock, by Colin Dexter, but that’s just far enough from being “Cozy” that I’m not going to include it on this list…)
December is almost upon us, so it’s time to discuss our favorite Cozy mysteries that we’ve read in November. This month I discussed Jenn McKinlay‘s Cupcake Bakery Mystery Series and Rae Davies‘s Dusty Deals Mystery Series, so I’ll start the list off with those!
