Comfy and Cozy Books!
Happy Tuesday! I know it's spooky season, but we all know I don't really read books with a lot of atmosphere (or I don't think I do). I decided to go with the other option this week which is very on brand for me - cozy books.
What makes a book cozy? I have seen some lists out on the internet, and there are definitely many different ideas as to how a book would qualify. For me, it's low drama, packed with warmth and (found) family. It gives me warm fuzzies and leaves me with a big smile on my face. Below are ten books I read which meet these criteria, and I have only good things to say about them.
- The Forget-Me-Not Library by Heather Webber
- I'll Be Home for Christmas by Jenny Bayliss
- Anne of Avenue A by Audrey Belezza and Emily Harding
- Everything's Coming Up Rosie by Courtney Walsh
- Grace & Henry's Holiday Movie Marathon by Matthew Norman
- If It Makes You Happy by Julie Olivia
- Gracie Harris Is Under Construction by Kate Hash
- Love's a Witch by Tricia O'Malley
- The Secret of Orange Cake by Rachel Linden
- The Second Chance Bus Stop by Ally Zetterberg

Found family is a trope I like a lot, though I tend to read books that, um, don't exactly qualify as "cozy" 😂.
ReplyDeleteHA! But the found family is that cozy part and usually a source of support for the other characters, I bet.
DeleteYes! Coming Up Rosie sounds like a cozy, comforting kind of read! Soon, very soon!!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun and sweet. I hope you get to read it at some point.
DeleteI feel like seasonal books (especially fall and winter) really lend themselves to cozy stories. When the weather cools down, I love to read books that are light and warm. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI agree. Holiday books fit the bill for sure even if I didn't include any
DeleteIf it Makes You Happy gets only glowing reviews! No surprise it's on your top ten today.
ReplyDeleteI originally was not going to download that one. The reviews convinced me and it was great.
