[@intuitiveDominique]

Awesome! I’m glad you showed up in my KZbin algorithm!! I’m recovering from surgery and need books and authors!!! Yay! You inspire me.

[@intuitiveDominique]

PS-do you write, too? I liked your sense of story structure and writing voice notes on authors you reviewed!! :)

[@WhileIReadwithKatieDodrill]

I’m so glad you’re here! Sorry you had to have surgery, but at least you get to do lots of reading. I hope you enjoy the books you try!

[@WhileIReadwithKatieDodrill]

Yes, I do! I’ve completed a middle grade book that I’ve been sending queries out for, and I also just completed a cozy mystery. It makes me feel great that you can tell that from my reviews! Do you write?

LOVE the Claudia Gray Regency series!!!

[@WhileIReadwithKatieDodrill]

YES! The books are so good!

Thank you for this list and your detailed descriptions. This is my favorite genre, and it's difficult to find good ones just based on the published descriptions. I have subscribed & will continue to follow you. Happy Holidays!

The Perils of Lady Catherine De Bourgh sounds amazing!

[@WhileIReadwithKatieDodrill]

The whole series is so good! (Also, I’m trying to be cool here, but I feel like a celebrity just commented on my video!) 😊

Hi Katie! Great books! We love so many of the same books! I have We Solve Murders. But, your great description of it makes me want to move it up in my reading list AND the same with One Perfect Couple! I read and really enjoyed The Last Time She Saw Him! Loved Like Mother, Like Daughter! A Talent For Murder was a favorite for me this year, too. The Last One At The Wedding is a top 10 favorite of the year for me, too! And, I’ve added the Wyldecliffe Heights book to my long list to read….sounds great!!❤❤

[@WhileIReadwithKatieDodrill]

We definitely have similar reading taste! I know you will like We Solve Murders and Wyldcliffe Heights. 😊 I always enjoy your comments!

[@phenrichsen1]

@ Thank you, Katie! I love your videos and chatting with you too! I also forgot to mention that Look In The Mirror is high on my list, too. I really liked her book, The Family Game. Looking forward to all of these books. Have a great day! -Patty

I just got Murder in Highbury! Really excited to read it. I read the first two books in the Jonathan Darcy series and loved them both.

[@WhileIReadwithKatieDodrill]

I hope you enjoy Murder in Highbury! I love the Mr. Darcy and Miss Tilney series too.

I haven't read any of these books, but I have read and enjoyed the Thursday Murder Club books, so I will definitely be looking for the Osman one. I'm brand new to your channel, so I don't know which other authors you enjoy, so I'm going to recommend John Sandford. He has a long-running (30+ books) series starring Lucas Davenport. At the beginning of the series, he is a homicide detective in Minneapolis. I live in the Twin Cities, so the locales and pieces of "local color" are very familiar. Definitely NOT cozy, as the cases can be very terrible. But he's a very interesting character and I've enjoyed them all. There is also a spinoff series starring Virgil Flowers, a Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agent in more rural Minnesota. Also great. Happy reading!

[@WhileIReadwithKatieDodrill]

Thank you so much for watching! I have never read John Sandford, but the series you describe sounds great. I will look him up! 😊

[@slye09]

Glad I've come across your channel! Def adding Last One at the Wedding! Not a NEW release, but if you like a twisty ending maybe try Defending Jacob by William Landay. My favorite mystery-thriller 👍

[@WhileIReadwithKatieDodrill]

Welcome! Thank you for the recommendation!

[@Melissa-he3lo]

Katie, I’m so glad I found your channel! It’s a wonderful alternative to the gloom and doom political channels!😳 I am reading Winter Solstice after listening to one of your videos about cozy winter reads and I a, enjoying it. I can’t wait to read many of these! Thank you so much!

[@WhileIReadwithKatieDodrill]

Thank you for watching and commenting! You’ll find no doom and gloom here - just good books. Happy reading! 😊

[@thomasceneri867]

I’ve reserved Murder in Highbury - looking forward to it! You do a really great job of explaining the books without giving away too much! Have you read The It Girl by Ruth Ware? Unfortunately, I didn’t like it as much as I had anticipated I would.

[@WhileIReadwithKatieDodrill]

Thank you! I hope you enjoy Murder in Highbury - I think you will. I love Ruth Ware, but The It Girl is not one of my favorites of her books. Zero Days is the book of hers that I like best.

[@laurabland2699]

Katie’s #1 fan!!

[@WhileIReadwithKatieDodrill]

❤️❤️❤️Thank you! But are you going to read any of the books? 🤣

[@JessBookgirlTV]

I have not read the books you mentioned. Have you read any James Patterson or Ashley Flowers?

[@WhileIReadwithKatieDodrill]

I’ve read James Patterson, but not Ashley Flowers. Thanks for the recommendations!

[@eheider8820]

I’d love it if you’d review my sister’s mystery, “May the Wolf Die.” It was just listed in NY Times best crime fiction 2024.

[@WhileIReadwithKatieDodrill]

I will look it up.
