Today it’s supposed to hit 100°, Friday sees us at a projected 102°, however, Saturday is supposed to be our scorcher at 104°. Thankfully, we’ll be cooling back down on Sunday (102°)! Yes, summer is upon us here in San Antonio. (I absolutely don’t know what people did before air conditioning!)
As July quickly approaches, it’s time for me to ask you all to recommend your favorite June 2013 Cozy Mystery book. This should be the book you read during this month that you want the rest of us to know about. (If you read more than just one Cozy Mystery that you loved, let us know about those.) Please tell us why you enjoyed the book (books). That way, the rest of us can decide whether your recommended Cozy Mystery is a book we would like to try.
[As usual, I ask that you don’t tell us about the books you read that you didn’t like.]
What Cozy Mystery book (or author) have you read during June 2013, and why did you enjoy it (or him/her)?

I have been anticipating this entry for almost an entire month. It is the time of the month when I ask you all to recommend your favorite Cozy Mystery book read of this past month. This should be the book you read during May 2013 that you think the rest of us have absolutely got to know about >>> so that we can read it also. Of course, if you read more than one Cozy Mystery that you loved, let us know about those. Please tell us why you enjoyed the book (books). This makes it easier for the rest of us to decide whether we want to give the authors/books a try.
I’m home from our California trip just in time to ask you all about your favorite Cozy Mystery reads of April 2013. I hate to keep repeating myself, because I know those of you who follow this particular entry know the drill, but for those of you who are new to this very helpful entry: these should be authors (books) about whom (which) you really want other Cozy Mystery readers to know. They should be the authors (books) you enjoyed so much during April that you want to let the rest of us know about them. Please include WHY you enjoyed these authors.
Can you believe it is almost April? I can’t! I have my March doo-dads up, which include everything St. Patrick’s-ish. Years when Easter falls in March sometimes get me a little confused. I just “expect” an April Easter.
