Interesting points. I read some of Harris' other books, the more mystery series type ones, and I've considered them sort of... DARK cozy. But I've never known what to call the Sookie books! As for True Blood, I can't do that show. I need a little less sex in a story than that. I find it too distracting from the storyline, personally. (: I definitely like a little romance, but too much makes my tiny attention span go haywire.
I consider the Shopaholic series chick lit, as well. I try to alternate between a chick lit and a cozy, though! That way I don't get any clues mixed up in my head from one mystery to another.
Oh!! I just finished A Study in Scarlet, the Sherlock Holmes book. I gotta say... I found it to be kind of in line with cozy mysteries more so than a DETECTIVE story. Holmes is WAY quirky and is not a professional, and they are most definitely not gory in nature - all things I find as hallmarks in cozies. Anyone else read some of the Holmes stories and have a similar view? Or a different view?
