<\/a>August is almost over, so it\u2019s time to discuss our favorite Cozy Mysteries that we have read this month! If you read a Cozy mystery this month and want to recommend it to the rest of us, be sure to post it here! August has been another good reading month for me,\u00a0as I’ve reread the first entries of both Kerry J. Charles<\/strong>‘s Dulcie Chambers Mystery Series<\/strong> and Wendy Sand Eckel<\/strong>‘s\u00a0Rosalie Hart Mystery Series<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in reading why I\u2019m recommending these series, you can go to the\u00a0Most Popular & Recommended Cozy Mystery Series page<\/a> on my Cozy-Mystery site for my full write-ups on each of these great Cozy series.<\/p>\n

So, what have you been reading that you can recommend in August?\u00a0Please be sure to tell us\u00a0why<\/em> you liked these Cozies so much. I know we’re all always on the lookout for more particularly good Cozy Mystery authors! (If you have a lot of Cozies you think are great, please post the ones you like the most at the top of the list.)<\/p>\n

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