  1. What a great giveaway. I am a lover of Cozies and have been so for a number of years. Of course at first i did not realize they were Cozies but just knew it was what I loved reading.

    I am following via both email and Google.

  2. Oh, thank you so much for your generous giveaway! I found out about you via the John 3:16 Marketing Network.

    I read cozies, and would love to write them. My first published book is a humorous devotional, but I think it would be so cool to develop mysteries, and I admire those who have that kind of creative mind!

    Bless you,
    Jen

  6. I agree with Jennifer, cozy mystery titles are so much fun to read! It's been a while since I've read one, so I guess I should hop back on the cozy mystery bandwagon. Those are stories I always loved to read anyhow.

  18. wow, great giveaway.

    I love cozy mysteries, though I have to admit that I haven't read any lately. I'm writing and reading middle grade and young adult books. But I would love to have some cozies to read as a kind of desert when I'm not working. :) My mother has long been a mystery fan, cozies and otherwise. For years she read one a day. She's too old now to remember what she's reading. That cuts down on the cost of new books. She can read the same mystery every day and not remember who done it. But it doesn't do much for sales for you writers. Sorry.

    I am an email follower now, but when I hit the button to follow on Google Friend Connect, I get an error. I'll try again throughout the day to see if I can get in there.

  21. I just love reading! As a missionary we travel ALOT! I used to crosstitch as we went but those little squares just keep getting smaller & smaller. Now I read. Even at the walking track - I read as I walk - haven't fell yet!

    I have loved reading as long as I can remember. My mom said I came home from first day of school angry because I couldn't read. Guess everyone told me I'd be able to read when I started school. I must have thought it was magic or something that would happen automatically. Been in love with books as long as I can remember and love all kinds, cozy mysteries included.

  24. I enjoy reading cozy mysteries and probably read about a dozen a year. I hope to someday write one of my own. Your site looks like fun. Thanks for this opportunity.

  26. My name is Barbara Ann Derksen. I write mystery but more the thriller/suspense variety. Every now and again I pick up a cozy to read for the fun of it. I would be honored to receive these books and would certainly post reviews once I've read them.

  27. I've probably loved cozy mysteries since before they were called that. Of course there is not much Christian fiction that I don't love but I do have a slight preference for mysteries and suspense. A historical setting can also be a plus.
