Cozy Mystery Corner discussion

With blessings from Jaxnsmom, Nell and Hilary, I've been working on compiling a master list of all the series that have been featured in this group. I'm going to try very hard to remember to update the list as we go, but my memory isn't what it used to be. It's going to take several messages to get it all posted, so bear with me :)

PLEASE NOTE : It's fine to pick a series that was featured previously. The mods look for a period of 3 or more years since selection, and whether the author published more books in the series since the last time it was picked.

Thank you for doing this. I think it will be very helpful to those selecting books of the month. Also it means that there is thread on these series somewhere that someone may want to comment on in the future.

Yes, a huge thank you!

Very Helpful thank you

Wow!! well done Barb!

Great list! Thank you for yourwork.

Happy to help! Now I just need to remember to update it on a regular basis :)

I never thought about that, but you make an excellent point.

Thank you Barb! These lists are very helpful.

Thank you Barb. Very helpful.

Wow! This is amazing. We've read a lot of books.

Thanks Barb for all the work you put in to compiling this.

Barb you rock!!

You're welcome, everyone :)

And that's not counting all the times the group repeated a series. I've only listed the last time a series was featured :)

I think I've caught up on the group's featured series. If I missed anything, someone *please let me know? Thanks!

Lots of effort went into that. Thank you, and great job, Barb!!!!

I second that!

Wow thank you!

You're all welcome! The hardest part is remembering to update it each month when new series are selected :)

Thanks Barb. The list is great! Appreciate the effort and time it took. Love that it's alphabetical and easy to use.

I'm adding my thanks, Barb. This is fantastic. I've copied it (them) over to compare to my R and my TBR.

I appreciate the work you put into this.

The hardest part now is remembering to update it every month when new series are featured!

So I can easily check back to see when I last updated the list above, I'm going to try to remember to post here at the end of the thread when it's been done. It's more for my own notes than anything else, but if anyone notices that I haven't posted here in a couple of months, *please remind me to add the new series! Thanks :)

A bit late (we were on vacation), but I've updated the list above to include the series selected for August 2025.
