Comfy Cozy
Show Notes
Intro/ Premise of the show:
Etta (aspiring cozy novelist) and Deb (her skeptical mother) discuss all things about traditional mysteries with an emphasis on cozy mysteries (i.e. Cozies)
Format of the show: Question and Answer session. One of us will pose a weekly question that we both answer.
· Similar to Writer’s Well (with wonderful hosts J. Thorn and Rachael Herron)
Rules: NO SPOILERS!
Just a quick warning, --Our shows will contain some good-natured teasing about the cozy genre. We obviously really like cozies so don’t take it too seriously.
QUESTION: What was the first cozy you ever read?
· Deb- Nancy Drew
· Etta- Yeah, I remember you got me into those (Trixie Belden, etc.) BUT Those are just kid books, right?
· Deb-- Agatha Christie
· Etta-- Hannah Swensen Series by Joanne Fluke
Timeline-weekly. We’ll give you a peak of the book we’ll use for our discussion. But there’s no need to have read them. Again… no spoilers… just quirky questions and “delightful” conversation.
NEXT WEEK: Domestic Mystery—Lillian Jackson Braun (ie Cat Stuff)
It is on my shelf: The cat who dropped a bombshell, the cat who went bananas, and the cat who wasn’t there
Got them from the library sale a few years back. They’re hardcover. CLASSY! And they smell nice and musty.
To the sleuths listening… what was your first cozy? And do YA books count as cozies?
