We\u2019re just about at the end of January, 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 Julia Buckley<\/strong>‘s A Writer’s Apprentice 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 January? Please be sure to tell us why<\/em>\u00a0you liked these Cozies so much. I know we\u2019re 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 January 2020 that you want the rest of us to know about, and why<\/em>\u00a0did you enjoy it?<\/strong><\/p>\n Ellery Adams<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(aka\u00a0J.
