<\/a>\"\"Oh, I love this time of year. It is almost the end of October, and I have actually worn my light-weight jacket (once)! I have the best “autumn scents” going on my coffee warmer (Better Homes and Gardens Mulberry Plum Spice and Cranberry Mandarin Splash). I also have loaded up on my seasonal teas (caffeine-free Celestial Cranberry Apple and Cinnamon Apple Spice, as well as Bigelow’s caffeine-free Cranberry Apple). (I found my scents at Walmart, but had to order the teas.)<\/p>\n

Since it is the end of October, it is time for me to ask you all to tell us about a few mysteries you read this past month (October) that you think the rest of us have got to know about. Please tell us why you enjoyed each of your recommended books. I think a lot of us read your comments, and they are what sway us to try your recommended book(s).<\/p>\n

[As usual, I ask that you don’t tell us about the books you read that you didn’t like.]<\/p>\n

[Also, if you click on the author’s name (blue) link, it will take you to their page on the\u00a0Cozy Mystery<\/a>\u00a0site. Their page has all of the author’s books listed chronologically.]<\/p>\n

What Cozy Mystery book (or author) have you read during October 2013, and\u00a0why\u00a0did you enjoy it (or him\/her)?<\/strong><\/p>\n
