This year I started a different type of reading – at least it is different to what I’ve done in the past. Since I enjoy reading holiday Cozies<\/a> so much during their appropriate seasons, I have started re-reading some of my favorite holiday Cozies >>> out of sequence!<\/p>\n

This year had me revisiting Jessica Fletcher in Cabott Cove<\/a>, Lucy Stone on Red Top Road<\/a>, Gloria Lamerino in Boston<\/a>, and Hanna Swenson in Lake Eden<\/a>. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas felt particularly Cozy with all my favorite sleuths. (This is one time when my not-so-great memory comes in handy!)<\/p>\n
