Cozy Mystery Corner discussion

I used the fruit machine to narrow the choices down to ten, and then to match a theme to a month.

March -> British
April -> Before 1800
May -> Fitness/health related
June -> Paranormal
July -> Food as a business
August -> Craft as a hobby
September -> Dogs
October -> Craft as a business
November -> Historical 1800s
December -> Vintage clothing/collectibles/antiques

A reminder of who's choosing books for the rest of the year.

March - Melissa
April - Emily
May - Fanficfan44
June - Cindy
July - Heather
August - Randa
September - Melodie
October - Tammy
November - Nell
December - Lindsay

Alternate:
Barb

Do we select a book with the theme or are there nominations and a poll?

You'll choose both books, one of your choice and one that fits the theme. That way there won't be any worry about the timing of nominations and polls.

Okay, I can't think of any cozies that take place before 1800!

What about the Abigail Adams series by Barbara Hamilton?

And there's two titles in the Lucy Campion Mysteries by Susanna Calkins which takes place in seventeenth-century England.

I have some ideas now. Thanks!

How does this work? I've not participated before. Do I just pick a book on my own that fits the category>? Then, what is the next step?

I've been a member of Goodreads for a while but have not participated. I do want to, though.

Here's a link to mysteries by historical period. Note that this is a mystery site so not all of them are cozies.

We have a member select the two books each month - they are shown in post 2. They'll choose one of their own choice and one to fit the theme.

OK I was wondering that too. So we don't pick out books just read what is picked for us. Sounds like a plan!

OOOh I love my theme! yay

I love my theme, too! Culinary mysteries are my favorites! Well...I have a lot of favorites, but they rank right there at the top!

Paranormal is generally mine but otherwise vintage clothes!!!

I have a series for you ! it is about vintage clothes and the woman who owns the vintage shop gets a sense and sometimes a vision of what happen to the wearer of these vintage clothes soo good

OOOH Let me guess which one that might be...

Rose Pressey's Haunted Vintage Series
Annette Blair's Vintage Magic Mysteries
or Juliet Blackwell's Witchcraft Mystery
