Description:

I just love reading a Cozy Mystery, and am always looking for a new author and series. My favorites usually have the occupation of Bakery Store Owner, Housekeeper, Flower Shop Owner, Pet Sitter, and the list goes on.....

For those of you who are not familiar with a Cozy Mystery they usually take place in a small, picturesque town or village, with characters you can easily relate to. Of course, the killer usually blends in with the characters you are relating to. They are usually normal, every day characters you might have known at one time in your life. Cozy Mysteries don't usually involve a lot of gory details or explicit adult situations. Most of the books belong to a series. I find that you necessarily don't have to read them in order.

Some of the authors I really like are Joanne Fluke, Monica Ferris, Laura Childs, Barbara Colley, Dolores Johnson just to name a very few.

I found a neat website http://www.cozy-mystery.com that is just loaded with authors, genres, etc. of everything you would want to know about a Cozy Mystery.

Anyway, In this swap, you will have 2 partners that you will send 1 Cozy Mystery book to. This is sender's choice. You might want to message your partners once assigned to see if they already have the book you want to send, or read their profile to get a better idea of their likes and dislikes. For example if they mention that they love animals, there are Cozies that have the main character as a Pet Sitter or Pet Shop owner. If they like crafts, there are Cozies that have the main character work in a Yarn Store, belong to a Knitting Group. The list goes on and on...... I think you get the idea.

Books can be sent Media Mail if you like. Sometimes the difference between First Class and Media is only a few cents difference. The choice is entirely up to the sender.

This is newbie friendly, and everyone is welcome! Please make sure you have a rating of 4.9 or higher with no recent (last 6 months) 1's or 3's. I hate the B word (BAN) but will if you sign up and don't meet the swap rating requirements.

If you are new to Swap Bot, Welcome! Please have a filled out profile so we can get to know you better and the things you like and dislike. It makes it easier to receive things you really like if you have a detailed profile for your partners to look at.

This should be a fun swap. I'd like to make this a monthly swap if enough people participate.

Do they need to be new or can they be used?

savannahsmiles4u 12/15/2014 #

Thanks for asking. They can be new or used. Just in fairly decent condition.

Please, please pm me BEFORE you send. I have over 1000 books and have read a good deal of cozy mysteries, that's why I am joining so I can send some away. thanks
