This is my favorite time of year. I have mentioned many times that we live way down in San Antonio, Texas. Most of the year it is hot and extremely muggy. (We broke our “over 100 degree” days record this year!) It’s actually pretty hot down here at the beginning of October – but even so, once October arrives, I celebrate some cooler weather AND my Holiday Cozy Mystery books. I especially enjoy Halloween<\/a>, Thanksgiving<\/a><\/strong>, Christmas<\/strong>, and Hannukah<\/a> <\/strong>books set in cold weather, so I can “experience” a season we don’t have down here.\"\"<\/p>\n

I know I asked this question years ago but here goes again:<\/p>\n

\"\"Are you a stickler for reading your Cozy Mystery series in chronological order? (I am!)<\/p>\n

Or, when a favorite series has a Holiday Cozy Mystery<\/a><\/strong> released way ahead of where you are, do you skip ahead?<\/p>\n

As I stated above, I’m a stickler for chronological storylines, however, sometimes<\/em> I just can’t wait and find myself skipping ahead in the series.\"\"<\/p>\n

How about you? If you’re on book #6 in a Cozy Mystery series and the author releases a Christmas Cozy<\/a> <\/strong>as her\/his 13th book in the series, do you jump ahead and read it? (I do!)<\/p>\n
