Help! I need advice about too many mystery books...

I'm trying to clear out books again.  But this time I need to break down and give up on some of the cozies I've been collecting but not reading.  I have boxes.  I'd like to try them, but I'm simply not going to have the chance.  I mean there are BOXES of them.  They are scattered, so books by one author may be in multiple boxes. 

Any cozy mystery authors or series you definitely recommend I keep?  Do you have any ideas about how I could handle them?  Because I simply can't read or keep them all...  Can you help?  I'm desperate!

That's just one box!  I have more.

I'm considering bundle giveaways if there's an interest, but first I have to figure out what to keep and what to give away.

  1. From your list, I LOVED Jeffery Cohen, Nancy Martin, Wendy Roberts and Michele Scott - I'll read anything they put out! I liked Miranda Bliss, Laura Levine, Kathryn Lilley and Sheila Lowe. Laura Childs, it depends on the series, some I like, others, not so much. Definitely DO NOT waste your time on Tim Myers (or any of his pseudonyms - Melissa Glazer, I think).

    Not sure if this will help you, but it's the best I can do ....

    1. I'm pretty hopeless, so every bit helps. I'm pretty sure I've read Tim Myers's Melissa Glazer pseudonym before though.

  2. Unfortunately, I can't give advice in this genre. If we were chatting paranormal, I'd be all over it. ;) Best of luck though.

    1. I could probably do those too. But one box at a time.

  3. I read cozies occasionally, and have heard good things about Nancy, Martin, Jeffrey Cohen and Sarah Atwell. Hope some of our comments will help you out... I have a kindle so I don't own more than a tiny handful of books anymore. I miss paperbacks and don't live near any used book stores right now. Enjoy your dilemma :)

    1. I have a Kindle too. That hasn't lessened the print books though. I end up having a print, an ebook, and an audio going all at once.

      But yes, I appreciate every comment. Both for the opinions on who to prioritize and the support.

  4. My interests may be different than yours but here is my list...
    Casey Daniels/ Miranda Bliss
    I have not read Hailey Lind but I love Juliet Blackwell (they are the same)
    Wendy Roberts
    Michele Scott
    Mary Stanton
    The rest I have not read and didn't care for that much.
    If your thinking of giving/selling I would be happy to have some!
