<\/a>\"\"It’s the end of the month, which means it’s the time I ask you about your favorite Cozy reads of the month. I know summer is a hectic time of year, but I’m guessing all of us make time to read our Cozy Mysteries. I wish I could say that I have been reading outside, while enjoying the summer breeze, but since the heat index has been over 100\u00b0 several days down here in San Antonio, I’ve been reading inside with the air conditioner cranked up.<\/p>\n

I just started reading a new-to-me author who self-publishes her Cozies, and I’m enjoying her a lot. I am hoping that I will be able to recommend her next month, but I don’t want to recommend her now since I don’t know if I’m going to continue enjoying her as much as I’m currently enjoying her.<\/p>\n

As those of you who follow this site know, earlier this month I posted entries about\u00a0Lorna Barrett’s\u00a0Booktown Mystery Series and\u00a0Lea Wait’s\u00a0Mainely Needlepoint Mystery Series. If you’re interested in seeing those posts, you can find links to them on the\u00a0Most Popular & Recommended Cozy Mystery Series page<\/a>\u00a0of the site.<\/p>\n

How about you? Are there any Cozy Mysteries that you’ve read this month the you thought were way better than the rest of this month’s Cozies? If so, would you please tell\u00a0us about these really good Cozies and\u00a0why\u00a0<\/em>you liked them so much? Most of us are always looking for new-to-us\u00a0Cozy Mystery authors to add to our favorite authors list! We\u2019d love to hear about the Cozy Mysteries you especially liked, so that we (too) can read them. (If you have a lot of Cozies you think are terrific, would you post the ones you think are even better than the others at the top of the list?)<\/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 June 2016 that you want the rest of us to know about, and\u00a0why<\/em>\u00a0did you enjoy it?<\/strong><\/p>\n
