November’s almost here, so it’s time to discuss the Cozy mysteries we have read (during October) and can strongly recommend to other site viewers! This month I discussed Teresa Trent‘s Pecan Bayou Mystery Series and Ellery Adam‘s Books by the Bay Mystery Series, so I’ll start the list off with those!

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 October? 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.

September will be coming up soon, so I think it’s time for me to ask all of you about the best Cozies you’ve been reading in August.

Copperman’s Haunted Guesthouse Mystery Series), both of which are great examples of popular and entertaining Cozies.

As it will soon my August, it’s time for me to ask you ALL about the Cozies you’ve been reading this month. As some of you know, I highlighted two Cozy Mystery series (Cleo Coyle’s Coffeehouse Mystery Series and Leslie Meier’s Lucy Stone Mystery Series) that are popular for a reason: they’re both great examples of what we look for in our Cozies! So rather than repeat everything I previously said about my two picks for this month’s recommendations, I’ll refer you to the Most Popular & Recommended Cozy Mystery Series page on my Cozy-Mystery site.

So, are there any Cozy Mysteries that you’ve read during July that you think stand out as better than the rest of the Cozies you read this month? If so, would you please tell us about these really good Cozies and why you liked them so much? I think it’s fair to say that most of us are always on the look-out for new-to-us Cozy Mystery authors! We’d appreciate hearing about the Cozy Mysteries you especially liked, so that we can read them, too. (If you have a lot of Cozies you think are terrific, would you post the ones you think are even better than the others at the top of the list?)

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