Book clubs allow you to talk to others with similar interests not just about the books you love, but so much more. Why do you love cozy mysteries?

Maybe you love the setting because you love small towns or because you love learning tips and tricks for making your home feel cozy. Maybe you love culinary cozies because you love to cook. Or maybe you love the mystery itself and spend your free time solving puzzles.

Rather than just reading one book a month with this club, suggestions are made to read books by specific themes and readers are encouraged to share what they've read in discussion boards.
