One of the online resources I use everyday is <a href="http://www.stopyourekillingme.com/index.html" rel="nofollow">Stop, You're Killing Me</a>. The sidebar on the left side of the homepage breaks down mysteries in all sorts of ways: Location, Job, Historical, Diversity, Genre, etc. I like keeping up with mysteries set in Arizona. I went to the Location Index, found this glassblowing series listed, thought it sounded good, and then I found a copy at Paperback Swap. <br /><br />I'm a reader who chooses most of my books through reading a short synopsis. From growing up in a library, titles (and those synopses) mean more to me than covers because-- in our village library-- books weren't shelved face out. I could only see the spines. <br /><br />A thought just occurred to me... I really can't go too much by covers. I'm a dog lover and have no fondness for cats, yet it seems that most cozy mysteries have to have a cat on the cover. If I steered away from cat covers, I wouldn't read many cozies! LOL<br /><br />Hope all my rambling helped you a bit!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-58000948433925738172013-08-18T13:04:59.239-07:002013-08-18T13:04:59.239-07:00oops, my fat fingers!!! how do you choose?oops, my fat fingers!!! how do you choose?grammajudybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00562284172505849145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-29683807136210437582013-08-18T13:04:14.370-07:002013-08-18T13:04:14.370-07:00This book was published in 2008.

And I'm like you in that I'll do that if I like the main character. It sounds like the setting is done well here, too. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
