As the title of this entry says: Thank You ALL!!!
A little less than two weeks ago I thanked you all for taking me over the “400 Likes” point on my Facebook page, and now I am over 600! When I started my Facebook page on December 6, 2013, I wasn’t quite sure what, how, or why (I knew where and when!) the Facebook Likes are important. As a newbie, I didn’t spend a lot of time over there. But, slowly I have found myself spending more and more time there.
In the past, I had been asked to put a Cozy Mystery page up on Facebook. My answer was always no. (Hopefully a polite no!) I knew that if I did join, I would spend way too much time over there. And I was sort of correct in thinking that! I am spending a whole lot of time there. On my clothes-washing days I find that I at least get up from my computer every once in a while to plop the clothes in the dryer, or to hang them up. Hmmm, doesn’t sound all that healthy, does it? I know I sound like a Computer Screen Potato!
That’s not to say that all of my time is spent working on my Facebook page…
As for my Pinterest page, I’m slowly getting my themes posted over there. Well, actually, for those of you who aren’t yet on Pinterest, they aren’t called “posts” over there. Pinterest uses the “Pin” label, as in thumb tacks, not the safety pins I have decided to “pin” on this entry of mine!
Of course, this blog and the Cozy Mystery site are my primary focus. As a matter of fact, I’m getting together the May Mystery Movies list (which will probably be ready to go up on April 30, if I can follow my tentative schedule), as well as updating my June Mystery Book Releases entry – which will definitely go up on May 1. (You’ve heard of the saying “Never say never.” >>> I should definitely never say definitely!)
So, thank you (again!) for all of your “Likes” on my Facebook page, and also for “following” me on my Pinterest page!

Marie, I am definitely staying here! I can organize my authors’ mystery books, all of your recommendations, my themes, television shows, movies, new releases, new series, new authors, holiday mysteries, ETC. the exact way I want them to be on my Cozy Mystery site. [With the help of my “tech guy” (aka my husband) who is on-call 24 hours a day”]

Danna, sorry I haven’t been following your fb page very much. But I do enjoy and follow your Cozy Mystery Site and emails. Trying to follow all my favorite authors and family members scattered all over the US. keeps me busy although I tell myself one hour a day is enough. And then it’s hard to get off the thing. I am still trying to figure out how to get off pinterest. I signed up to follow an author and really didn’t care for it. I find it sucks up too much of my time along with fb and I would rather read. Don’t know how you do it all, but I’m happy it is working out for you and yes, some of those likes were mine because I see you on my newsfeed every so often. As long as you are having fun with it, that’s what counts.

Judy, I know what you are saying about all of these medias being addictive! I’m finding that I am spending less time reading now, which doesn’t please me in the least!
John Clement says
You’re welcome. I’m so glad to see you’ve grown so fast! It just goes to show there’s a strong and supportive community of mystery readers out there!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
John Clement, I am so pleased to see that Cozy Mystery books have finally grabbed the interest they have so rightfully deserved for so long. I remember (years ago) when one of the people in an online mystery book group I belonged to referred to the subgenre as something almost inferior to police procedurals. Hmmm… That shows just how much she knew!
And, thank you for your Dixie Hemmingway Mystery Series!
Dru says
Hi Danna,
I tried to get into Pinterest, but I just never had the time to do that with all the other stuff that I do. It’s good to see you on Facebook.
BTW, Hannah Denninson’s series is called Honeychurch Hall.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Dru, I wasn’t quite sure of that mystery series’ title. Thank you for the information. I have added it to my site.
Marisa says
I don’t do Facebook but I’ve found that I’m liking Pinterest a lot, and your board I follow it.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Marisa, thanks for following my Pinterest page!
Cathy says
Congratulations! I enjoy Cozy Mystery on all the formats mentioned!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Cathy, you’re probably a whole lot more knowledgeable than I am, but in time, I’m hoping to “get there”…

This is a wonderful website. I don’t do Facebook or Pinterest, so add another vote for “liking” Cozy Mystery.

Sierrapen, thank you for your “Like” on the actual Cozy Mystery site!
