Great list! I have read all authors except J.B. Stanley (which I plan to read but haven't gotten around to it yet). I'm all bummed because I went to get my copy of Cream Puff Murder this past week and the store didn't have it! augh! I'm hoping to get a copy to read for this challenge though. I'm already planning to switch out one of the books I listed. haha!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining my challenge!
Good luck with the challenge!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like something I'd enjoy as I love cozies, but I'm in so many challenges right now. I'm not sure I can keep up...but maybe I can :)
ReplyDeleteYou convinced me! I'm all signed up and my books are chosen :)
ReplyDeleteOH....I am so tempted to sign up for this challenge. I am discovering that I really do enjoy the cozy mysteries -- and when I win Oolong Dead from your lovely give- away (yea....right) I know that I will immediately add that to the list.
ReplyDeleteStill need to decide if it is possible to complete the challenge - but you have sure tempted me!
I haven't read many cozy mysteries, but last winter I read all of the Joanne Fluke books up to that point. They were fun, but as I am dieting, I don't think I want to read any of them now.
