May is coming to an end, so it’s time for the monthly Cozy recommendations thread!<\/p>\n
If you read a Cozy mystery this month and want to recommend it to the rest of us, be sure to post it here! For this month, I read another frequently recommended book, the first entry in Paige Shelton’s Scottish Bookshelf Mystery Series<\/a><\/strong>. For the reasons I want to recommend it, be sure to check out the blog entry!<\/p>\n So, what have you been reading that you can recommend in May? Please be sure to tell us why<\/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 What really good Cozy Mystery did you read during May 2019 that you want the rest of us to know about, and why<\/em>\u00a0did you enjoy it?<\/strong><\/p>\n Here are the current recommended authors who some of you have read and recommended this past month:<\/p>\n Ellery Adams<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(aka\u00a0J.
