Cruisin' thru the Cozies Reading Challenge discussion

I'm officially signing up for Level 4 again this year. I'll be listing the books I read in this thread as I read them.

Welcome Mark. We usually have the same reading tastes. I'm looking forward to seeing what you read this year.

I think the surprise would be if I didn't sign up for signed up for a lower level, right?

You, too, Yvonne.

Got my first two books done.

1. Death of a Bad Apple by Penny Pike http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

2. A Second Chance at Murder by Diana Orgain http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

It was good. Got a giveaway for it going on my blog right now.

A lot of people enter with something like username at domain dot com or some variation of that. I don't know if it helps with the spammers or not. But I need some way to contact the winners.

And there's a Garage Sale series as well starring Lori Loughlin and a Gourmet Detective as well.

Glad I could help your watching schedule. :)

Just one new cozy this week.

3. Copy Cap Murder by Jenn McKinlay http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

4. Murder Most Finicky by Liz Mugavero http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

5. Better Homes and Corpses by Kathleen Bridge
http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

Exactly. If they'd been catering for a pet loving book club they would have hit the big three.

I checked out your blog the other day and found some books I'm gonna check out. I as well didn't realize there were that many shows based off cozy mysteries.

I think the movies are relatively new.

Hope you enjoy the books you found, and thanks so much for stopping by.

16. What You See by Hank Phillippi Ryan http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

I would not of thought Hank Phillipi Ryan a cozy author.

She's won the Agatha several times, and this book is up for the award this year, so it's why I included the book.

I have a couple of hers on my TBR. There are times when you don't think of an author as cozy but they are. Glad I got clued in on this one.

No matter what category they fall into, they are good books.

This week, I read:

17. Ripe for Murder by Carlene O'Neil http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

18. A Churn for the Worse by Laura Bradford http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

You're welcome. I've read all 5 in the last year; they really are good.

This week, I read:

19. And Then There Were Nuns by Kylie Logan http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

20. File M for Murder by Miranda James http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

Agreed

This week, I read

21. The Ambitious Card by John Gaspard http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

22. By Cook or by Crook by Maya Corrigan http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

23. Mrs. Pollifax and the Lion Killer by Dorothy Gilman http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

It was. Thanks.

Really happy I decided to read through your challenge; I am looking for a new series and feel that the Amish Mysteries are right up my alley.

Thanks!

You'll both enjoy, I'm sure.

Happy reading.

In the past couple of weeks, I've read:

24. Big Chili by Julia Buckley http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

25. Plantation Shudders by Ellen Byron http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

26. Macdeath by Cindy Brown http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

27. Delivering the Truth by Edith Maxwell http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

Added Plantation Shudders. Love the B & B concept.

It's a fun one.

This week's books:

28. Killer Takeout by Lucy Burdette http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

29. Rest in Peach by Susan Furlong http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

I enjoyed them both.

30. Vanilla Beaned by Jenn McKinlay http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

31. Time of Fog and Fire by Rhys Bowen http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

The first one from last year should have been out in paperback by now. Away in a Manager will take longer since it just came out in the fall.

This week, I read:

32. Wedding Cake Murder by Joanne Fluke http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

33. No Comfort for the Lost by Nancy Herriman http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

My recent reads include:

34. All Murders Final! by Sherry Harris http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

35. Speaking from Among the Bones by Alan Bradley http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

36. Irish Stewed by Kylie Logan http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

Thanks so much. That means a lot.

This week, I enjoyed:

37. A Gilded Grave by Shelley Freydont http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

38. Sayonara Slam by Naomi Hirahara http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

39. The Final Tap by Amanda Flower http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

Believe it or not, I didn't have any cozies two weeks ago! (I know, I couldn't believe it either.) But here are my review from this week.

40. Out of Circulation by Miranda James http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

41. Decanting a Murder by Nadine Nettmann http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

42. The Skeleton Takes a Bow by Leigh Perry http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

Actually, that had nothing to do with it. I read a thriller, the latest James Patterson book, and I reviewed one of the Kinsey Millhone books. Still plenty of book reviews, just nothing cozy related.

43. Murder Most Fowl by Edith Maxwell http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

44. A Muddied Murder by Wendy Tyson http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

45. Eclair and Present Danger by Laura Bradford http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

46. Grilled for Murder by Maddie Day http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

47. The Calamity Cafe by Gayle Leeson http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

48. Desperate Housedogs by Sparkle Abbey http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

Well, all the book titles in the series are plays on pop culture movies and TV shows, so it's not that crazy.

Getting closer to the next mountaintop.

49. Fatal Brushstroke by Sybil Johnson http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

50. Murder on Astor Place by Victoria Thompson http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

You'll enjoy it, I'm sure.

I seemed to have missed a couple of books, so here's two weeks worth.

51. Crime and Poetry by Amanda Flower http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

52. Presumed Puzzled by Parnell Hall http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

53. Toasting Up Trouble by Linda Wiken http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...

54. Murder on a Silver Platter by Shawn Reilly Simmons http://carstairsconsiders.blogspot.co...
