Friday Fives - Five Cozies that Take Place in Summer


I'm in a list making kind of mood so I thought I'd start making random five lists.  Sometimes they'll be bookish other weeks not so much.   My reading tastes have moved a bit away from my usual cozy mysteries and I've found myself reading more fiction but I miss my cozies at times!   Since summer is starting to show up here - I picked a few cherry tomatoes this week and the temps are firmly in the 90s - I'm picking 5 cozies that are set during summer that I'm looking forward to reading.


1.  Steamed Open by Barbara Ross - I've read and really enjoyed this series set on the coast in Maine and am looking forward to reading this one set in the sumer.


2.  Magic and Macaroons by Bailey Cates - I've enjoyed the beginning books in this series and this is next up so I'll have to pick it up soon.


3.  Partners in Lime by Bree Baker - I've heard great things about this series and this is such a summery cover.


4.  Sour Crime Donuts by Ginger Bolton - This doesn't come out until later this summer but I've really enjoyed this series - even if it makes me want to eat all the donuts.


5.  Live and Let Fly by Clover Tate - I picked up the whole series involving a kite shop at a used bookstore and this looks so wonderful and summer-y.

Do you have any summery reads on your TBR?  Have you read any good cozies lately?

  1. All of these have cute covers and at least three of them are very summery. I don't have any specific summery reads in mind, but one never know what will grab one. I often end up reading the 'cold' books in summer, but no always. We'll see what this summer brings.

  3. Those are cute covers! I haven't been able to get into a new book yet as we just moved in yesterday but I am hoping to complete the Classic Spin challenge. I also need to visit my new library location. Yea!

  4. Ah from a cold winter morning these sound nice and warm. All unknown authors to me but then I am only a small time cozy reader. Hope you enjoy them all especially those ones picked up at the second hand store.
