Your monthly mystery book recommendations that you all have been telling us about have been terrific! So terrific, in fact, that I have now got a TBR list accumulating on my Kindle!
When I first got my Kindle for Christmas, I decided that I wouldn’t have a TBR “bookshelf” like I do for my “real” books. I have so many books in my bedroom’s bookshelf, that I decided I’d prefer to buy my Kindle mysteries after I finish reading one, rather than accumulate them.
Well, after reading your March recommendations, I bought six new Kindle books, to add to the five I bought after reading your February recommendations. Good grief! Here I go again, accumulating more books!
I just finished a Cozy Mystery book that one of you recommended, but I don’t think this author is going to be making my “favorite authors” list. I’m just not sure I like the main sleuth enough to follow her through several more books in this particular Cozy Mystery series. (I’m not trying to be “coy”>>> but you know how I feel about posting negative remarks.) There is just nothing that makes me want to spend more time with the sleuth. I have to admit that the only reason I finished (by “finished” I mean “skimmed through to the end”) the book is because I didn’t absolutely “hate” the sleuth, just didN’T like her.
Anyway, next month, when I accumulate the Monthly Cozy Mystery Book Recommendations for April, I am going to absolutely refuse to get any more Kindle books, and will simply make a list of the authors who look really interesting to me. At least, that will be my good intention…
A while ago, I got this letter from Suzanne asking for help in identifying an author who writes…. well, just let me post what Suzanne said:
As the month of March comes to a close, it seems like a good time to find out which authors you all have been enjoying this month. Since this is going to be the Cozy Mystery Books Recommendations for this month, please only tell us about the mystery authors who you have read this month, who you have ENJOYED. (Please don’t tell us about the authors you think we should stay away from!)
