That having been said, there is an incredible number of cozies being published out there and many of them are weak, to say the least.It seems like publishers are glutting the market with a lot of pulp just because the genre is selling...sometimes the specifics of the genre are over-done. That is a challenge: to give the customers what they want but vary it a bit.I like vanilla ice cream, I like it a lot.I buy it most of the time.But even though I eat foods other than ice cream, (as I read more than cozies),if that was the only flavor being produced, it would be wrong.
