\"summer\"Wow, it feels like it’s already summer down here in San Antonio! But at the same time >>> the year seems to be going so quickly that I can’t believe summer’s almost here! Whenever the weather starts getting hot (and here in Texas it gets pretty doggone hot pretty quickly), I’m sure to start thinking about reading summer-themed Cozies.<\/p>\n

I was thinking maybe we could compile a list of our ultra<\/em> favorite Summer Cozy Mysteries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As you all might be aware, we do already have a Summer Cozy Mystery Theme page<\/strong><\/a>. So what I’m talking about isn’t necessarily just every possible summer themed Cozy Mystery you can think up >>> that’s what the theme page is for after all! Instead I’m just looking for a short number of your “personal favorites<\/em>” so to speak, so just one pick (or maybe two or three) would be great! And yes, considering that all three are squarely\u00a0within the summer time frame<\/em>, some of your favorite\u00a0Fourth of July Mystery Cozies<\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>Father\u2019s Day Mystery\u00a0Cozies<\/a><\/strong>, and Labor Day Mystery Cozies<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0would definitely be appropriate recommendations! (Of course, feel free to recommend Cozies that aren’t already on those lists!)<\/p>\n

I’ll put up a few quick recommendations of my own, just to get things started. Please leave a comment to add your favorites.<\/p>\n
