How in the world can someone like that be <strong>reading two books at a time?!?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I go nowhere without listening to my &#8220;book on tape&#8221; (even though it isn&#8217;t a tape.) And I mean nowhere! I listen to my book while driving and then take it in to the appointment I am driving to and use an earphone while waiting for my given appointment. I even take it into my local post office&#8230; since I can now count on waiting\u00a0half an hour to get to the\u00a0ONE open counter.<\/p>\n<p>I started reading all of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cozy-mystery.com\/Susan-Rogers-Cooper.html\">Susan Rogers Cooper<\/a>&#8216;s mystery series years ago. I just checked to see when that could have been &gt;&gt;&gt; and am shocked to see that it is twenty (plus) years ago!\u00a0I have watched as Milt Kovak struggled with\u00a0dating, I have &#8220;been with&#8221; E. J. as her family grew, and I laughed along with Kimmey.\u00a0 Cooper is not a Cozy author, but I do enjoy her mysteries.<\/p>\n<p>As for the &#8220;hard copy&#8221; book that I am reading&#8230; the actual paper-bound book that I am enjoying right now &gt;&gt;&gt; one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cozy-mystery.com\/Hazel-Holt.html\">Hazel Holt<\/a>&#8216;s. I cannot believe that I hadn&#8217;t tried her books years ago. Holt had been highly recommended to me by a Cozy Mystery reading friend of mine before I started this site. I don&#8217;t know why I never &#8220;got around&#8221; to reading her. I think that I felt like I had so many other authors who I enjoyed, and that there was always\u00a0tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m glad that I finally &#8220;found the time&#8221; to read her. I just started making my way through her very British Mrs. Mallory series, and I have\u00a0to say&#8230; there is absolutely no question in my mind that Holt is a Cozy Mystery author. I am really enjoying the first book in her series, and am (almost) ready to find out the who, why, and how of the mystery!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may wonder why I have two authors listed as &#8220;What I&#8217;m Reading Now&#8221;&#8230; since I am always talking about having to keep lists of events, times, books, ETC.
