Readers of cozy mysteries are seriously into their chosen genre. You know who you are, but if there is any doubt, see if you can relate to these feelings.

When you have a scene in your mind and then you read more details that totally contradict the layout in your head.

When you can’t find that old favorite from the series that you KNOW you have somewhere.

  1. Thanks for the big smiles. My sister and I are beginning to wonder if the last Amelia Peabody from the late Elizabeth Peters, delayed several times so far, Will be released in our lifetimes.

    The cat searching the shelves is the best if all. I can find any of my books Thousands) as long as no one moves them. Then, chaos

  2. Somehow, this system put me on Yahoo but in the Southern Hemisphere! I have not even made it to 30 degrees north yet, let alone the other half of the planet. Great website, good reading, and have wonderful Holidays! mtovaas@yahoo.com.

      1. Never mind, just realized it’s the pictures here.

        Cozy books are the best – easy reads, no violence, stories that keep my attention. I look forward to seeing what one of my characters is up to nect

  3. Very cute! You missed one, though, how about when somebody sees your cozy and says, oh, I just read that. I couldn’t believe (x) did it. Hopefully you were not in the process of polishing your shotgun at that moment. If I knew how to send a picture I’d show you how hair raising that comment csan be!

  4. Number 3 and 4 are me. Especially number three. I had an arthur I loved, along with the characters, until the movie came out. The film didn’t match the book. The characters were so completely different. The arthur has done this to two of his books and characters. I rarely read his books now.

  5. Loved the remarks and videos – Especially the cat taking the books from the shelves and the little one looking at the book! So cute. I don’t have many hardback/paperbacks anymore. When my dh got me my first Kindle it was with the agreement (or I should say – admonishment) “No more books that I can trip over, or falling on my head! ” It didn’t work completely…..I do still sneak a paperback (or win one) occasionally 🙂 Just not as many.

  6. “I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you create this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz reply as I’m looking to design my own blog and would like to find out where u got this from. appreciate it”

  7. It as hard to come by well-informed people on this subject, however, you sound like you know what you are talking about! Thanks

  8. I simply want to tell you that I’m all new to blogging and site-building and absolutely savored this blog site. Probably I’m likely to bookmark your blog post . You amazingly have great article content. Thanks a bunch for revealing your website.

  9. I very much appreciate the cleanness, the humor and clear writing of these stories. My hard bound books have diminished over the years due to so many moves back and forth across the country. Now (due to low-income) I find most of my ebooks on the free ebook websites.
    Please continue these wonderful stories!
