Laura just posted a comment (Thank you, Laura!) for my last entry that reminds me a lot of what I am doing:

"Danna: It's already on your Christmas cozy list, but I just finished Emilie Richards, "Let There Be Suspects" and really enjoyed it. I have to read my Christmas books now, because I usually don't have time when the holidays roll around!"

Leslie Meier, Jill Churchill, Kate Borden… Mystery Book Authors with Similar Flairs…

I just finished my most recent Halloween mystery book by a rather new author (to me, that is!) >>> I read Death of a Trickster and must say that it is definitely a Halloween Cozy… small New England town, amateur sleuth, everybody-knows-everybody feeling, eccentric personalities with hidden personal secrets, and to top it off, the most wonderful feeling of autumn/fall that you could possibly find in a book… I felt like autumn was actually one of the characters during the first half (or so) of the book…

Halloween Mystery Books I'm Looking Forward to Reading…

It's that holiday time of year again, and I am trying to line up my holiday books on my TBR (To Be Read) bookshelves. With our warm weather down here in San Antonio, I rely on my holiday mystery books to get me into the holiday frame of mind.

Additions to the Christmas Lists of Mysteries…

Aleta just sent me five additions for our Christmas reading pleasure. Thank you so much for sending these, Aleta. I try to stay on top of the holiday releases, but (obviously!) I'm not too good about it. I love getting additions to these holiday lists (actually any of the authors' lists, also!) from readers… It makes keeping the site up to date so much easier and faster!

Christmas Theme BBC Types of Mysteries…

I love BBC mysteries and I am trying to find shows with a Christmas Theme. I already watched Hercule Poirot's Christmas and loved it. I am looking for more, any BBC mystery with a Christmas theme would be welcome this season. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you Walter

Happy Thanksgiving… Kissing Christmas Goodbye…

Happy Thanksgiving! (Actually, I am writing this the day before Thanksgiving… since I know I will be busy enjoying my family AND not enjoying the kitchen duties!)

Well, I am going to have to take a break from my Who Killed Father Christmas? novel (by Patricia Moyes) in order to read my Kissing Christmas Goodbye (by M. C. Beaton). I finally got my eighteenth Agatha Raisin novel, and I am so excited about reading it that I am almost giddy!

Who Killed Father Christmas?…. Christmas Mysteries

I just finished a Patricia Moyes novel from her Inspector Tibbett Mystery Series. Henry is the Chief Superintendent of Scotland Yard, and his wife, Emmy, is his sort of "side-kick" in the series. As much as I like this Moyes series, I have only read the first three books… out of the possible nineteen. I know that this may seem silly, but when I like an author a lot, I try to space his/her novels and use them as a sort of "reading treat." I already have all of the novels in the series, so it's not like I am too lazy to get them. By the looks of it, though, I have spaced them too much!

Christine E. Collier…. Christmas Mystery Books

On November 18, I received this comment from Christine E. Collier, an author of cozy mysteries:

I am very happy I made your cozy Christmas mystery list. My book, Christmas at Cliffhanger Inn, is the third of a four book cozy series about four women writers who form The Writer's Club. My series definitely has a "cozy" description with a writer's theme as the background. The titles are The Writer's Club, Mystery is Our Shadow, Christmas at Cliffhanger Inn, and Something Borrowed, Something Blue. Thank you. Christine E. Collier, author

Cozy Mystery Authors with Holiday Themes…

As I have mentioned a few times, I just went through every author on my cozy mystery authors lists, and tried to categorize them by their professions and/or interests. (The reason I say "tried" is that I have been corresponding with a very knowledgeable librarian… I'll call her "Janet"… since that is indeed her name… and I sent her my crafting mystery list yesterday, only to have her come up with several authors I had missed, who I actually have on my site… Shame on me!!!)
