This is part of a new ‘challenge’ I’m doing where I’m trying to keep track of cozy mystery series I’ve read! There’s an additional challenge element where if I finish a series and write a review on each book in the series, then I will reward myself with a Themed Good and do a write-up of my thoughts on the series.
I’m also putting my Cozy Mystery Rubric here, because I frequently forget about it when I finish a cozy mystery. So in each Cozy Mystery Review, I want to talk about:
Copaganda/police involvement:
Supporting character:
Narrator (main character traits. first or third person):
What kind of animals are involved:
Location:
Whether or not there are recipes in the back:
Notes on the puns of the title:
Further Notes:
Italic books are ones I’ve read but haven’t done a review on yet; links lead to reviews.
