\"Booked<\/a> May is over, so it\u2019s time to discuss our favorite Cozies that we read this month! (As I mentioned last month, I\u2019m doing these at the beginning of a new month as an experiment, though this time is later than I would prefer since I didn\u2019t get a book review up in time. Let me know if you have a preference for this or the old timing!)<\/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\u00a0J.C. Eaton’s Sophie Kimball 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 May? Please be sure to tell us why you 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
