Hi, Deb!

If you let me know what you like to read, I would be happy to offer you some recommendations, also.

I like to be helpful to my friends.

Yes, it will. Please do not give up. I very much appreciate all the work you, and others, put in to posting these books in the MR ebooks forums. Thank you.

Well, Shel's nomenclature of "Cozies" sounds right up my alley -- mysteries where you don't have to smell the gore.

But I also enjoyed "Surgeon" by Tess Garritson (sp?) and am liking JAKonrath's "Whiskey Sour" so I guess a "thriller" is okay too. As long as I don't too often have to read about the actual gore. One reviewer of W.Sour said they almost stopped reading at the gore (of the first murder) --- and I almost stopped too -- but subsequent murders aren't described in as much detail, so I was okay to keep going.

Then again -- I have a 60 page index in my Kindle (12 per page) so it's not like I'm *lacking* things to read next!

OMG Deb, are you SURE you know what you're asking for??? But sure, no problem. Look for a PM as soon as I figure out how to get Calibre to catalog that library.

Here you go, Deb. Actually I'm glad you asked, I found some authors that the metadata was messed up on. So if you see any duplicate listings, that's why.

Hi, Shel!
What do you mean by a cozy mystery?
I know a cozy is a thing old ladies put on teapots, because they are embarrassed by naked teapots, I guess.
Are they mysteries about senile old ladies who forget where they put their cozies and can't have friends over because their teapots are naked?
Sounds like that Miss Marple crap Agatha Christie used to write. Between you and me, I would have killed that nosy old broad first, then did something bad.
I considered making a cozy for my maltese because he likes showing his feldman to strangers but decided against it because I don't like strangers and I'm not allowed to show them my feldman.
Which, you have to agree, is totally unfair.

This is the best definition I've ever found. Taken from Cozy-Mystery.com:

Quote:
[FONT=Arial, Sans-Serif]Imagine your terror at finding out that Jessica Fletcher was moving from Cabot Cove to your neighborhood! Would you stay up at night just wondering when this unassuming, friendly woman was going to befriend you? Would you wonder which of your friends would be the first, and then second, third, even fourth to die? I have loved watching Jessica solve all the murders in Cabot Cove, and then, when she ran out of neighbors, have to move to New York. If you are reading this article about cozy mystery books, you probably have enjoyed watching Jessica solve her way through one community after the next. She is a prime example of a Cozy Mystery Heroine…

[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Sans-Serif]The crime-solver in a cozy mystery is usually a woman who is an amateur sleuth. Almost always, she has a college degree, whether she is using it or not. Her education and life’s experiences have provided her with certain skills that she will utilize in order to solve all the crimes that are “thrown her way.” The cozy mystery heroine is usually a very intuitive, bright woman. The occupations of the amateur sleuths are very diverse: caterer, bed and breakfast owner, quilter, cat fancier/owner, nun, gardener, librarian, book store owner, herbalist, florist, dog trainer, homemaker, teacher, needlepoint store owner, etc. These are just a few examples of what the amateur sleuth does…. When she’s not solving crimes, that is![/FONT]
The rest of the article is here: http://cozy-mystery.com/Definition-o...y-Mystery.html

P.S. to those who don't know, that's funny because it's "the Lizard King", though with Steve Jobs owning a chunk of Disney now...

No, that's not right.

Jim Morrison is famous for being dead in Paris.

Joy Behar is "the Lizard King"
Because she is a reptile with testicles.

Get it straight!
