<\/a>\"\"Can you believe it’s been a whole month since we last talked about the Cozy Mystery books that we thought were so good we just had to recommend them? I can’t!<\/p>\n

I’ve tried a few new-to-me Cozy authors this past month who I’m still deciding whether or not to add to my favorite authors list. I have so many favorite Cozy authors already, I’m just not sure I can handle any more! (That’s a good problem<\/em> to have!)<\/p>\n

Anyway, if you have one or two Cozy Mysteries that you read during July that you think the rest of us should certainly know about, please drop us a comment telling us why you liked the book(s) >>> so we can take a look at it\/them. If you have a few more than two, go for it! Please list the ones you liked the most at the very top of the list, that way we’ll know those are super-duper good Cozies!<\/p>\n

As usual, please do not tell us about the Cozy Mysteries you did not like.<\/p>\n

What really good Cozy Mystery book did you read during July 2015 that you want the rest of us to know about, and\u00a0why<\/em>\u00a0did you enjoy it?<\/strong><\/p>\n
