You may wonder why I have two authors listed as "What I'm Reading Now"… since I am always talking about having to keep lists of events, times, books, ETC. How in the world can someone like that be reading two books at a time?!?
I go nowhere without listening to my "book on tape" (even though it isn't a tape.) And I mean nowhere! I listen to my book while driving and then take it in to the appointment I am driving to and use an earphone while waiting for my given appointment. I even take it into my local post office… since I can now count on waiting half an hour to get to the ONE open counter.
I started reading all of Susan Rogers Cooper's mystery series years ago. I just checked to see when that could have been >>> and am shocked to see that it is twenty (plus) years ago! I have watched as Milt Kovak struggled with dating, I have "been with" E. J. as her family grew, and I laughed along with Kimmey. Cooper is not a Cozy author, but I do enjoy her mysteries.
As for the "hard copy" book that I am reading… the actual paper-bound book that I am enjoying right now >>> one of Hazel Holt's. I cannot believe that I hadn't tried her books years ago. Holt had been highly recommended to me by a Cozy Mystery reading friend of mine before I started this site. I don't know why I never "got around" to reading her. I think that I felt like I had so many other authors who I enjoyed, and that there was always tomorrow.
I'm glad that I finally "found the time" to read her. I just started making my way through her very British Mrs. Mallory series, and I have to say… there is absolutely no question in my mind that Holt is a Cozy Mystery author. I am really enjoying the first book in her series, and am (almost) ready to find out the who, why, and how of the mystery!

Danna, on your Hazel Holt series I was able to get all of mine on ebay and the current ones on Amazon.com so if you have any gaps, you might try there to get the ones you’re missing ok.
Thanks, Alfred…
I keep an audiobook in the car for the 50 mile RT commute for work and all errands when I am in the car alone. I have a purse book for waiting in line or a little sip’n'read time when I can get it. I have a bedside book for just before sleep and if I wake early. I also take that to the mancave when I ride the recumbent bike.
