I am def a person who buys whole series just because I liked the first book, sometimes I read only a premise or even just love the cover and I buy all of them. I think a have a condition😀
You're looking really radiant. Good list. Read a lot, not all of these series. Gave up on Stephanie Plum & Hannah. A long drawn out triangle turns me off. My favorite is the Lucy Stone series by Leslie Meier. I feel like our kids grew up together, hers at a slower rate. 😆
I loved the cat who series read it many years ago.I’d like to suggest the Mrs Jeffries series by Emily Brightwell.It’s one of my favorites of all time.There are 39 books in this series and just caught up about 2 weeks ago.
I listen to the Meg series on audio book. They are hilarious. I have also gotten into the cupcake mystery series. My favorite though is still Joanne Fluke Hannah Swenson series. I own all 28. I'm even getting the cookbook. The series has great recipes. I do think that it is good to read them in order. Because as the storyline goes along you may not understand where some of the storylines come from. Especially her lovelife.
This was a great idea for a video! I can’t wait to dig in to a series. Like you I love immersing myself in the time and place so I love the seasonal aspect.
I am so glad you mentioned The Cat Who...series, I feel it doesn't get enough credit and it is superb in my opinion. I LOVE Agatha Raisin by M.C.Beaton, 32nd book will be published this October and I also like another author that I have never heard mentioned before- Mary Daheim, she actually has two series, one has 32 and the other 28 books in the series. J.Evanovich's series is one of my all time favorites. I have never read D.Andrews books but I will definitely give them a go. I feel that we have similar taste and that I will like.
I love Mary Daheim. Her bed and breakfast series are generally very funny. The Alpine series is a little darker but I like them even better than the bed and breakfast.
@@GinnyV76 I read only B&B series but will definitely try Alpine as well. Too many books too little time😀although I try not to "waste" time on books I don't enjoy very very much.
Hi Spencer. I too love a series that has many many books for me to enjoy the characters, town, and all that the series has to offer. Murder She Wrote and The Tea Shop mystery series are 2 of my favorite. I’ve read about 30 of the Murder She Wrote series and I’m on book #9 in The Tea Shop Mystery series, and I’m so excited that I have so many more to enjoy in both series. 😊📖📚
I just finished the latest Meg langslow stories, by Donna Andrews. They are all terrific, good writing, fun characters, kept reading to the end to see who did it. Thanks so much for recommending these books 😁.
I just started reading a book from the Tea Shop Mysteries series and I'm enjoying myself. I'm glad you had positive input. I am also enjoying the descriptions that prompt me to Google an Image so I can get a better feel for the setting. I'm also looking up definitions to a word about every few pages, but not ones that would stop me from understanding the book. Like - why name the brand of a candle (Joe Malone)...oh! Because the author is describing a $200-$500 candle! And what is a pashmina? Ah, a type of shawl. In spite of needing extra help to get a better feel to follow the story, I like it as well as the Theodosia and the other characters. Glad to hear you talking about all of these books!
Love this video because I do enjoy long run series. I love the Hannah Swensen and Laura Child’s Teashop series too. I also like the Mrs Jeffries. I recently read the teashop series and noticed that the 2nd book (Gunpowder Green) did mention the murderer of the first book. 😅
G.A. Mckevette’s Savannah Reid series has 26 books starting with Just Deserts. All the titles are punny with a good theme. The series is fantastic and I would suggest this series to anyone who loves a cozy!
Laura Levine’s Jane Austin series is fantastic. 18 books and a mischievous cat named Prozac. The emails from mom and dad slay me. This series makes me giggle!!
Great back listed choices...I think I have read some of all of them except the cat who series. Have you read any of the Jessica Beck donut series there is like 50-something...amazing
@@IntentionallyBookish it’s the donut shop series by Jessica Beck...who writes under like 5 other names too ! It’s incredible the amount of books this person writes!
Yeah I don't think I've gotten that far with any series. The only series I will have gotten that far is Miss Julia❤️❤️ and No. 1 Ladies. I read those as they come out
I loved the Hannah Swenson series, but I have to say her romance issues really took me out and would frustrate me. And her ultimate decision, totally turned me off. Crazy how "invested" you can get.
While I have never watched the Hallmark version, I love the books. I have read them several times, also the audiobooks are great too.
The Aunt Dimity series by Nancy Atherton are great mysteries.
Totally!
Aunt Dimity has good Halloween 🎃 themes...
I am def a person who buys whole series just because I liked the first book, sometimes I read only a premise or even just love the cover and I buy all of them. I think a have a condition😀
Join the club! You’re def not the only one 😘
🤟🏼
oh goodie! My library actually carries these books :)
😃 yay!!
we love the covers of Joanne Fluke..very detailed :~) Happy Monday Bookish Friends
So far I have read Four of the cozy mysteries you have mentioned. Lucy Stone, Jessica Fletcher, Laura Childs, The cats, Joane Fluke
You go, girl! Glad you find the recommendations helpful!
I'm almost finished Invitation to Murder with Lucy Stone and it's really good

Thank you! And I hear you on Stephanie Plum. She's funny but girlfriend needs to get it together! haha
I love the tea shop series. I love coffee and tea cozies too!! And the recipes that they come with
Me too!!
I loved the cat who series read it many years ago.I’d like to suggest the Mrs Jeffries series by Emily Brightwell.It’s one of my favorites of all time.There are 39 books in this series and just caught up about 2 weeks ago.
39 books? Count me in! 😆
Yes gonna cuddle up with 🍵 and start reading 🙂.
Excellent plan! 😉

Great point. And I also listen to the majority of the Meg Langslow series on audiobook -- it's the best!
Wow, you have all of them? I'm also watching Hallmark shows: Murder, She Baked and Hannah Swenson Mysteries.
I LOVE the Stephanie Plum series!!! I'm a Ranger girl 😃 I can't wait for the new one!!!!!!
I’m team Ranger too! 🙈 Sadly the love triangle was getting to me so I had to take a break from them haha
@@IntentionallyBookish I can understand the frustration lol. Sometimes I just want to see her with Ranger and be done with the series 😂🤣
I recommend the Miss Julia series by Ann B Ross. They aren't all mysteries, but definitely fall into the category of a cozy book
Congrats on the baby!
I enjoyed the video!
GA McKevett writes the Savannah Reid series. Savannah is from Macon Ga. There are over 20 in the series.
Thanks for the rec!!
Tbr growing by the minute
This was a great idea for a video! I can’t wait to dig in to a series. Like you I love immersing myself in the time and place so I love the seasonal aspect.
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it. It’s really great when you find a series you connect with!

Dang! How could I forget to mention the Agatha Raisin series! 🤦🏽♀️ Definitely deserved a spot on this list!
I love Mary Daheim. Her bed and breakfast series are generally very funny. The Alpine series is a little darker but I like them even better than the bed and breakfast.
I love the Agatha Raisin series too! So much fun. Try out the BBC radio series on YT
@@leijen208 have you seen tv adaptation? I like both books and tv series, although they are quite different.
@@GinnyV76 I read only B&B series but will definitely try Alpine as well. Too many books too little time😀although I try not to "waste" time on books I don't enjoy very very much.
I absolutely adore your videos and look forward to them a lot!!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad!
I still can’t believe Murder She Wrote has that many books.
Haha I know! It’s a blessing 😂
It seems there is always a new one I want to read.
I know!
so glad i found your channel
Aw, yay! Thanks for watching!!

I do the same thing when reading! It helps me paint a better mental image 🤍

Haha, whoops! Something we risk when reading cozies out of order!
I'm so glad I found your channel. I still have my Borders and Waldenbooks advantage cards after all these years.
Haha, that's amazing! I found my Borders card a few years ago when cleaning, but ended up tossing it.
G.A. Mckevette’s Savannah Reid series has 26 books starting with Just Deserts. All the titles are punny with a good theme. The series is fantastic and I would suggest this series to anyone who loves a cozy!
Large backlist, deserts, AND punny titles? Definitely going to check it out, thanks!
@@IntentionallyBookish I’m sure you will love them!! ❤️❤️

Great back listed choices...I think I have read some of all of them except the cat who series. Have you read any of the Jessica Beck donut series there is like 50-something...amazing
Um NO! Who’s the author??
@@IntentionallyBookish it’s the donut shop series by Jessica Beck...who writes under like 5 other names too ! It’s incredible the amount of books this person writes!
I have read most of the series you mentioned they are fantastic.
Awesome!! They are favorites amongst cozy lovers 😘
Again, I love the suggestions. I have some historical cozy murder mysteries suggestions. I will get the list together and post it here in a comments
Royal Spyness Series by Rhys Bowen 14 books
Phryne Fisher Series By Kerry Greenwood 21 books
Ah, thanks! I've heard of both of these series but haven't gotten to reading them yet!
@@PhatSonia ooo this sounds right up my alley! I’ll check those out x
The Odelia Gray series by Sue Ann Jaffarian has 16 books and they are amazing.
Your personality shines through in your presentation enjoyable 👌🏾😍🦹🏾♂️🌷🧕🏿😇
Thank you so much 🤗
Oh good morning ☕
Hello, dahling. Cheers! ☕️☕️
Love series too! Thank you so much 😊
You are so welcome! Lucky for us there are plenty of series to binge!
This a fantastic for binge readers like me too. But 50+ books and ongoing? [Shudders] I can cope with up to about 30 and then I'm done. TFS :)
Lmao I hear you! I definitely need to take breaks in between epic series 🙈
Yeah I don't think I've gotten that far with any series. The only series I will have gotten that far is Miss Julia❤️❤️ and No. 1 Ladies. I read those as they come out
Mason Stone is a new writer on Amazon if you want a new flavor; he is on Kindle with 3.
Good to know, thanks!
I loved the Hannah Swenson series, but I have to say her romance issues really took me out and would frustrate me. And her ultimate decision, totally turned me off. Crazy how "invested" you can get.
Yes. IMHO, love triangles should be wrapped up in the first few books. I actually started to like the Hallmark series better.
Yep, definitely agree on this. Ultimately why I had to put Stephanie Plum on the backburner.
Yuck, hate romance 💒 novels...
I also love Meg Langslow's mysteries - Murder With Peacocks is still one of my all time favorite mysteries.
It's so well written!
Have you read any Monk books? I love the tv show
I haven't! I've seen them around but have never picked them up even though I've seen the show.
