Ep 503: Which cozy mysteries are right for me?

In this episode of "What Should I Read Next?", host Anne Bogle engages in literary matchmaking with guest Amber Richcreek, a pre-K teacher and avid reader from Bellingham, Washington. Amber, a fan of emotional, character-driven contemporary fiction, seeks guidance in navigating the cozy mystery genre, which she finds overwhelming despite her success with romance novels. Anne explores Amber's reading preferences, including favorite books like "East of Eden" and "Yours Truly," and a disliked book, "Normal People." Anne then recommends several cozy mystery titles and series, such as "Welcome to Murder Week," "The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year," and "Shady Hollow," providing Amber with a variety of options to explore this new genre while keeping her preferences for character-driven stories and lighter reads in mind. The episode also includes advertisements for Wayfair and Aura Frames, as well as a call for listeners to share their favorite book discoveries from the podcast for an upcoming 10th-anniversary episode.
