<\/a>\"\"It’s again time to post our favorite authors who we read this past month – August 2012. These are authors who we think other Cozy Mystery readers might want to try reading. As usual, I am asking you all to tell us about some of the authors you really enjoyed reading, and WHY<\/strong> you enjoyed these authors.<\/p>\n

I’m going to do this a little differently this month, since I just added my author recommendation to the Cozy Mystery site. Rather than tell you why I am nominating Tarquin Hall<\/strong><\/a> in this entry, I will refer you to the Tarquin Hall: Vish Pury Mystery Series entry<\/a> I just posted, telling you why I like Tarquin Hall so very much.<\/p>\n

(I actually found out about Tarquin Hall because Sally recommended his books in last month’s recommendations. THANK YOU!!! I am so glad you made me aware of Tarquin Hall.)<\/p>\n

Please do not just list a bunch of authors without telling us WHY<\/strong> you like each one. It’s your reasons that we would appreciate knowing, since you might enjoy the very same things we do. (And, I hate to keep adding this, please do not tell us about the authors you tried reading who you did not like.) I will add the recommended authors to this entry as they come in.<\/p>\n

What Cozy Mystery book (or author) have you read during July 2012, and\u00a0why<\/em>\u00a0did you enjoy it (or him\/her)?<\/strong><\/p>\n
