Cozy Mysteries discussion

I have seen several people mention that they have a book blog. I can't really say that I read any blogs (I just don't know where people find the time) but I just came across a blog that was just chock full of information and I thought I would start this topic so that if/when any of us has the time to start following a blog or several blogs there would be a place we could look for ideas. This topic can be specifically for mystery blogs or for any book related blog that you want to include on the list. I'm going to start this off with the blog that gave me the idea for this thread:

www.ragingbibliomania.net (note it is .net not .com). I liked it because it has a list of "Other Noteworthy Book Blogs" and also "Other Bookish Places". I like book sites (whatever kind they are--book publishers, book sellers, authors, etc) that give you more places that you can go to feed your book addiction.

A few others to get this going are:

www.killerhobbies.blogspot.com

www.literaryfelines.com (not limited to mysteries but I love cats so I'm including it)

www.armchairinterviews.com

www.murdershewrites.com

www.mysteryloverscorner.com

www.iloveagoodmystery.com

Please, please, please check the website to make sure it is still valid (I had three that were bad as I was doing this).

Thanks for posting these great book sites!
I have a reading blog..Im usually in the middle of a couple of books..so sometimes I post a book to my blog that "Im not quite done with.." ~ :)

Happy Holidays Beth!
Thanks for adding the mystery site links!

My GoogleReader doesn't need to get any bigger, but I think it will... =)

Thanks for the links Beth!

My friend and I have a blog with reviews, interviews and lots of guest bloggers that are authors

http://mayhemandmagic2.blogspot.com/

My book blog (at the present time almost entirely book reviews & comments) was so messed up at one time when it somehow split and put some reviews on one and some on another, I have spent days on trying to get them onto one, with a line stating when the original posting was made. Consequently, I now show 68 entries for December 2009! Don't let it fool you, I have by no means read 68 books in Dec.! I may still have a few more that I have to add from the past before I have everything straightened out. I hope I'm finished by 2010!! Happy New Year, everyone!
R&B: Read and Blog

My blog Pudgy Penguin Perusals has a lot of reviews, guest posts, and giveaways. I'm really partial to mysteries, particularly cozies!

I love love love book blogs!! Thanks so much for sharing!!! :)

I found a good book blog today (or yesterday since it is after midnight):

http://poesdeadlydaughters.blogspot.com

It has quite a few "Lethal Links" (I thought that was cute)

Oh, this is a great topic! I love discovering new book blogs.

Here's my blog:
www.uneparole.blogspot.com

I read and review a variety of books, but seem to be focusing on mystery and fiction in general. I'd love it if you'd visit!

I didn't see the Cozy Chicks blog on the list!

www.cozychicksblog.com

And I know Dru reads it! :-)

Ooh, the Cozy chicks are the best!

Thank you Kaye! We do love readers and I think our blog reflects that.

I've never visited any of these. I've never gotten the appeal of blogs, but maybe the only ones (which are few) that I've visited weren't interesting.

Melodie - I'm not much of a blog reader here either. I don't have time! I am on GR too much :)

Hi, just a heads up for cozy readers. I'm hosting a contest for 2 autographed copies of Photo, Snap, Shot, a cozy mystery, by Joanna Campbell Slan. Deadline to enter is May 19th 6PM (est) Residents of US & Canada. You can enter HERE

I have a book review blog at http://dreamworldbooks.com. It doesn't feature just cozies, but all genres!

I just started my book blog at http://project-tbr.blogspot.com It isn't cozy exclusive so any genre goes :)

Dru's blog is fantastic! Everybody should check it out.

Today I have a blog about settings in a book up at Buried Under Books (http://www.cncbooks.com/blog ). If you have a moment, please stop in and leave a comment about how you feel when read a book. Do you want to know where the action is? This is a pretty cool site, too.

Thank you, Marja

Thank you,

I have a new book blog that is devoted to cozy mysteries Cozy Mystery Book Reviews

It's still in its early days but hoping to review lots of great cozies in the future.

While it didn't start out to be a book blog my site is that more often than not. I review the giveaways I've read there, so the type of book varies. Interspersed, when I have time, are my own musings on just about anything that comes to mind. So it is a motley assortment but you are welcome to peruse if you'd like.

Is it possible there might be a little mystery in your home, just waiting to be discovered? If you have a moment, please check out this week's blog at Marja's Mystery Blog, http://blog.marjamcgraw.com/ .

I wasn't sure where to place this, but I just posted a Book Trailer for Bogey Nights on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-JEZK... . If you have a minute (or two) to watch it, I think you'll enjoy it.

Happy New Year!
