I love Cozies. Usually read them at bedtime. Right now I am reading Vicki Delaney and one of her Sherlock Book store mysteries with Gemma as the lead. I am in love with David Rosenfelt and his Andy Carpenter character along with his beloved Golden Retriever, Tara. Next on my bedside table is Flop Dead Gorgeous.

For daytime reading now it is Michael Connelly’s, The Waiting with Bosch and Ballard.

Also, reading Henry V by Dan Jones. One of my favorite kings. The other being Richard III. 📖📚📚
