My next book was Monica Ferris' book called Crewel Yule! This was fun as it revolved around stitchers! The book also includes a crewel pattern.
She has multiple stitchers themed books...and I can't wait to read them all. They are so much fun!!!

This list was found at Browsers Bookstore, where you can also purchase them. I would like to give a big thank you to this company for having this list. I have no affiliation with them what so ever. I will use it to add as I find more. Other places to find them are at your library, used and new bookstores, and of course, e-books.

That is an interesting list of books, thanks. I love books and I enjoy going to book stores with a cup of coffee and just take my time. Happy reading.
Thanks for mentioning my figure skating mysteries! I've recently turned the series into enhanced ebooks, with professional video footage included alongside the story. An excerpt, "Skate Crime: Multimedia" is available for free to Amazon Prime members, and only $.99 cents for everyone else. Check it out at: http://www.amazon.com/Skate-Crime-Multimedia-Skating-ebook/dp/B004HZXVPK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2&s=books&qid=1294410823&sr=1-5 and thanks again!
Alina- thanks for letting us know about your enhanced e-book....I am excited to check it out!!!!!
Wow, that is quite a list! I have to bookmark this, you know what a reader I am. However, I am going tomhave to live to 500 to read all the books I have on my list. Lol
My favorite series of books, that I think fall in this catagory is The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith. Some may consider them a bit slow but the author always weaves a complex story. Some on your list look like fun reads, too! I love the titles.

What a fabulous list of books, thanks for doing all this work to show us, I will trawl through this at my leisure.
You're in trouble now, Julie! The cozies are terribly addicting...I've got two if not three shelves of them. Fun, Fun!!
Great list!
Not sure what it'd fall under but I enjoy listening to Margaret Coel's Wind River Reservation mystery series with Father John O'Malley and lawyer Vickie Holden.
I also liked Dee Henderson's series of books on the O'Malley siblings. Not sure what the official title was.
I want to go thru the Loon Lake books by Victoria Houston, they sound neat.
There's another dog series by Carol Lea Benjamin that is pretty good.

Jee I nver heard of this before!
Seema like nice books to me. I don't read a lot but lately I do when traveling. I downloaded some books on my tablet and I found it very easy. Not having to carry books around (I don't touch half the time) and ready to read whenever I can't sleep .
I will try to find a few on this list too.
I read a few of the Lilian Jackson Brown books years ago. They are on this list too.
Thanks for this nice tip. You always come up with such nice things Julie!
Have a wonderful week dear♥
I've never heard of this but I am instantly intrigued!!!
