<\/a>\"\"With this being the first month of a new year, I thought it would be a perfect time to add a new page to the Cozy Mystery site. The new page will be called Cozy Mystery Books Recommendations<\/a><\/strong>. It is my intention to devote one entry a month to asking you all what Cozy Mystery book you are currently reading.\u00a0I’ll be posting the month’s initial blog entry with your Cozy Mystery recommendations on this page.<\/p>\n

I hope that since you are reading the Cozy Mystery book, that means you are enjoying it… so that you will have good things to say about the book and its author<\/strong>. This way, the rest of us can get a feeling as to whether we would like to try your current book’s author. \u00a0I don’t want this page to become a “gripe session” about authors we don’t like. (Believe me, I have quite a few<\/span> authors who I don’t like!)<\/p>\n

I get several letters a month asking for me to recommend Cozy Mystery authors to readers of the site. I received a letter this month asking if I would add other Cozy Mystery readers’ recommendations<\/strong>. It is high time that you all have the opportunity to recommend some of your favorite authors!<\/p>\n

So >>> What Cozy Mystery book are you reading, and why are you enjoying it?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have decided to go ahead and try to list all of the authors some of you are reading this month – \u00a0who you think would be good new-to-me authors for other Cozy Mystery readers. However, I would encourage you to read the comments below to find out why we are reading these authors!<\/p>\n
