Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Cozy/Atmospheric Reads & Tell Me Something Tuesday: What's Something You Rebelled Against as a Kid?

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. 

Happy Tuesday! So thrilled to see you back here again. I appreciate your loyal readership. Today's topic for Top Ten Tuesday is cozy/atmospheric reads. In honor of my love of cozy mysteries and Halloween, I give you my...

Top Ten Favorite Cozy Mysteries

The Josiah Reynolds Mystery series by Abigail Keam captured my attention with its unique covers.

The Plain Jane Mystery series by Traci Tyne Hilton is so much fun. The protagonist is a twenty-year-old woman running a cleaning business and taking classes at Bible school. 

The Consignment Shop Mystery series by Duffy Brown is one of my all-time favorites. I love historical homes. 

Though I first learned of Jessica Fletcher from the hit Murder, She Wrote show, when they novelized this series, I knew I would eventually read some of them. Don't you wish you lived in a place like Cabot Cove? Minus all the murders, of course. 

The Amish Bishop Mysteries series is one that I wish Vannetta Chapman would have taken beyond three books. The protangonist had such a unique crime solving ability. 

Avery Daniels' Resort to Murder Mystery series has been a favorite of mine since I read the first book. 

The Bouncing Grandma Mysteries series is one I quickly fell in love with. I wish there were more than two books. A. K. Arenz has penned other books, but not another one in this series.

The Logan & Cafferty Mystery series by Jean Henry Mead, like the Bouncing Grandma series, features older protagonists. This is something that I enjoy. 

The Lighthouse Library Mystery series blends three of my favorite things: a lighthouse, a library, and the Outer Banks. I love visiting the bookstore in downtown Manteo to see what new books Eva Gates has written. 

One of my writing group colleagues, Marty Damon, has written the Cate MacLeod Mystery series. I had the chance to see some of these books in draft form, but forgot how amazing they were until I read them. 

Tell Me Something Tuesday (TMST) is hosted by Jen Twimom at That's What I'm Talking About. TMST is a weekly discussion post where bloggers discuss a wide range of topics from books and blogging to life in general. Participation is optional, and you leave your comments in the weekly post if you are participating. Check it out if you would like to join.

This week's topic might prove to share some interesting tidbits about our fellow bloggers. Unfortunately, you won't find that here. I did not rebel. I was too scared. Now, that could be the result of the fire and brimstone delivered to we Gen Xers in paraochial school daily or because I had an unpredictable father and a mentally ill mother, but to this day, I feel like if I don't behave myself, God will find a way to make an example of me. I can't even lie without becoming physcially ill. Just another quirk of little ole me. 

Looking forward to dropping in at your blogs to see what you came up with today.
