As in real life, it is a bit odd in Cozies that what I would consider the “big” holidays are all sort of scrunched together at the end of the year. Starting with Halloween, stretching through Thanksgiving, and ending with the double punch of Christmas and New Year’s Eve, the four biggest holidays for Cozy Mysteries are all within 2 months of each other!
That said, it would be a real shame to ignore the other holidays through the year, even if many of them don’t have the “big” nature of the year-end holidays.
So, considering this is February, what are some of your favorite Valentine’s Day Themed Cozies? Are there any in particular that you are reading right now?
As I’m sure most of you are aware, I of course have a Valentine’s Day Mystery Book List on the site already. If after looking through that list you are aware of another Valentine’s Day themed Cozy that hasn’t already been listed there, please be sure to post a comment. Thank you!

This month, I’m going to start out the Cozy Mystery Recommendations by telling you about my favorite Cozy Mystery book that I read during January. As I have mentioned many times before, I try several new-to-me authors in between reading a Cozy by one of my favorite authors. I’m always on the look-out for new authors to add to my favorites list, and this time, I found one!
Here we are at the end of the month! I can barely believe that we’re going to be wrapping 2015 up in just a few days! As I mentioned in the 
I mentioned before that I have re-read some of my favorite Cozies from the past. I also read some new-to-me Christmas Cozies. I revisited Jessica Fletcher in Cabot Cove while reading Donald Bain‘s 
As I said in my first paragraph, I’m trying to decide what to read next. I’m not sure if I should attempt another Christmas themed Cozy. I know I have eight days before Christmas, but our daughter is coming home (from D.C.) for a visit on Monday, and I’m really looking forward to having both our son and daughter here for the holidays, so I doubt I’ll get much reading done.
With that in mind, I thought I would ask you ALL for some ideas about good Christmas Cozies. I know we have done this before (in 2012 and 2013) but I’m curious to ask this again: Which Christmas Cozies would you recommend for the rest of us to NOT miss reading?
