Cozy Mystery Corner discussion

It’s time to sign up to choose our group reads for 2024. If there's a specific month you want, we'll reserve it for you. If you haven't done it before it's really easy and we're happy to help.

Both books have to be the first in a series, and not been a group choice in the last 2 years.

Post on this thread to pick our reads for a month.

Thanks to Hilary for coordinating the picks this year.

Reserved

I am also happy to pick and will fill in as needed!

I can take February my birthday month

Excellent! I will add you to the other thread :D

I'll choose sooner than later. Doesn't matter when.

Can you do January?

I’ll choose Junewith a Specialty Restaurant theme. Two books, right?

I'll do January. Give me a day or two to think about which theme I want to choose! I have to look at my TBR pile and my hoarded e-books LOL!

Excellent!!

How about

Beverages: Tea Shop Mysteries by Laura Childs Death by Darjeeling

I only read that one so far so I'll be reading along with everyone else. This is the only tea themed mystery series I've read that actually focuses on TEA as an art.

Kindle choice for those who can't get library books: Anty Boisjoly series The Case of the Canterfell Codicil by
PJ Fitzsimmons
I have #6 already in my hoard and need to buy #7 next when I finish that.

I have lots more on my TBR list if those aren't good choices.

Both of those should work - thank you!

I’m happy to do September, my birthday month, again.

Secret, Book, & Scone Society Series
The Secret, Book & Scone Society by Ellery Adams"

Lisa, April has been taken, if you would like to take another month then August, October, November and December are free!

Thank you Lisa, hopefully paranormal won't be taken by then!

Oh. So how do the signups themes work? Is it first come first serve?"

It is yes, and only one of your series/books needs to fit the theme you choose (no idea why I said Paranormal!) but say you picked bookclub (and it hasn't been taken) that would be crossed off the list - your 2nd pick could be Brother Cadfael just because you enjoy them (provided neither series has been picked in the last two years).

I hope this makes sense!

Hilary, I sent you a PM through GR a couple of weeks ago. Have you had a chance to read it? Should I re-send it? Thanks!

sent a quick reply :D, sorry I hadn't noticed the little envelope had a number on it (oops!)

Not a problem, just wanted to be sure GR actually sent the message. Some have gotten lost somewhere in the ether, so very frustrating.
