We\u2019re just about at the end of August, so it\u2019s time to discuss our favorite Cozies that we\u2019ve read this month!<\/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 the first entry of\u00a0Joan Hess’s Claire Malloy Mystery Series<\/strong><\/a>. 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 August?
