\"The<\/a> August is over (once again, by quite a bit), so it\u2019s time to discuss our favorite Cozies that we 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 the first time in a very long while, I don’t have a new blog post to put forward here – I tried to read no fewer than three books for last month’s book entry, but for various reasons none of them worked out, and I’ve been holding off on this post for so long now that I decided to just skip August’s book instead of continuing to delay this further. (Frankly I’m not happy about that and I’m thinking about how I’m going to adjust some of how I run the site going forward as a result but that is a discussion for later.) For now, I’ve decided to recommend Agatha Christie<\/a><\/strong>‘s Miss Marple Mysteries<\/a><\/strong> once again, as it is still one of my favorites of all time.<\/p>\n

So, what have you been reading that you can recommend in August? 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
