Happy Monday Folks! I know, I know – many of you are snow and ice bound and are wondering what on earth a photo of flowers is doing on top of the blog. It’s there because I thought the photo looked hopeful. Of course, in Punxsutawney the groundhog was awakened to answer the yearly question of whether it will be an early spring or six more weeks of winter? Well, Punxsutawney Phil made his annual Groundhog Day prediction at Gobbler's Knob, saw his shadow and predicted 6 more weeks of winter.
Happy, happy New Year. The sun came out after a night of pouring rain. It makes me cheery about 2026. May your year be healthy, full of happiness, and cozy reading!

Hello cozy mystery readers. Can you believe we have only 31 days left of 2025? I feel as if I’ve read only a third of the novels I’d intended to read and yet keep getting more advertisements for novels that I’d like to read – desperately!
Welcome to November and the beginning of the holiday season! We’re looking forward to Thanksgiving, fall leaves, and the delicious feel of cooler days and nights. My sweaters are ready. Time changes this weekend and the days begin to feel shorter. What a great time of year!
. Look for the Book Reviews towards the bottom of the blog. There’s a mystery book there for everyone.
Cozy News
We are so excited to host Landis Wade at our April 26th meeting. He’ll be talking about his newest novel, Deadly Gold Rush. Please join us for an interesting discussion. Having an author speak to us makes reading their novels much more informative. We’ll get to hear about Landis’s process, how he researched his work, and what made him focus on the gold rush. Above all, we’ll get to live with our group from the retirement community once again. How fun!
Dear Cozy Death Mystery Book Readers,
What a wonderful month! March is full of holidays and on March 20th the beginning of spring. Look for your rainbows and pot of gold, dear readers!
We had an amazing meeting in February. We talked about everything Victoriana while we discussed A Study in Murder. On March 22nd we’ll meet and talke about Death in Brittany.. It’s a mystery that involves artwork and a tour of the area. You’ll enjoy it. Meet with us on Zoom.
We had a marvelous time at our last A Cozy Death Mystery Book Club meeting. We read Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Q. Suntano, a favorite author of mine. If you read it, and I hope that you did, you’ll catch on to the fact that Vera is considered “old” at 60. Oh my! No, my friends, 60 is not old, not old, not old! However, if you’re in your teens or twenties -- maybe so. At any rate, we had a rousing good discussion about the perspectives of different characters and people in general. After that we played a game—gabberwocky.
What a happy new year this is! We have some new members and welcome to all of you. We’re very glad to have you. Our “List for 2026” is out. Please look at the website: www.acozydeath.com. under the Book List. You’ll see it dancing on the site and proud as punch.
