While at one time I primarily read cozies, I currently only regularly read six cozy book authors. These authors write more contemporary cozies that are mysteries as well.
Cleo Coyle - Coffeehouse Mysteries
Susan Wittig Albert - China Bayles
Laura Childs - Indigo Tea Shop
Julie Hyzy - White House Chef
Gary Corby - Athenian Mysteries
Ellen Crosby - Wine Country
The White House Chef series is over and I am not sure what is happening with Gary Corby's ancient Greece series. He should have published another installment of the series in 2018 and 2019 but hasn't. I used to read additional serieses but gave up on them. They are traditional cozies with more simple plot lines.
Joanna Carl - Chocoholic Mysteries
Leslie Meier - Lucy Johnson
Joanne Fluke - Hannah Swenson
Lillian Jackson Braun - Cat Who Loved Series
Dorothy Gilman - Mrs. Pollifax Series
Chris Cavender - Pizza Lover's Series
Margaret Frazer - Sister Frevisse Series
The latter four ended for various reasons. They may have not gotten their publisher's agreement to continue publishing the series or the author moved on with writing something different. My favorites from this group are the Mrs. Pollifax and Sister Frevisse Novels. I have been thinking lately about rereading them since I already know that they will be satisfying reads. While caregiving for my mother twentysome years ago, we read many of the same books. She would read them first and then I would read them. My mother loved the Mrs. Pollifax series too and we would talk about them, anxiously waiting for the next book to be published. This is one of my fond memories of that time period. Lillian Jackson Braun's series was another of her favorites. She did not read the other series that I have listed above but I know that she would have loved them.

I have been searching for a new series to follow. Eileen Watkins' cat grooming series is enjoyable. There are only four books in that series to date and I have read three of them. I also liked Molly MacRae's Last Wool and Testament, a haunted yarn shop mystery. Since I am not fond of ghost stories I don't know whether this series will work for me. I did enjoy the fiber art aspect of the book though.
What cozy series do you read?
