✨ Cozy Reads ✨

When you hear the phrase cozy read, what pops into your head?

For me, it’s the kind of story I know will wrap up in a way that feels good. Sure, things happen along the way—there’s drama, some twists, maybe even a tear or two—but it’s not the kind of book that leaves me gasping at a jaw-dropping cliffhanger.

Cozy reads are the ones that make me smile when I close the book. They leave me happy, content, and satisfied. Sometimes there’s a hint of “more to come,” but never the kind that has me pacing the room and stalking Goodreads for the next release date.

Some of these books are first-in-series, some can be read out of order, and some stand alone. But the common thread? They have heart, a little humor, a touch of emotion, and an ending that feels just right.

That’s what cozy means to me: a story that feels like a warm blanket.
