Obviously, they don’t have to slide into the cozy genre. But what books do you cuddle up with during a thunderstorm, or your variable weather of choice? Personally, Becky Chambers has become one of my favorites. I also read LOTR when I need a “good guys doing the right thing just because it’s the right thing to do”.
I’m currently in a cozy mystery phase for reading, so anything by Jenn McKinlay and her aliases (Cupcake Bakery, Library Lovers, Hat Shop, Good Buy Girls, Decoupage) or Krista Davis (Diva series, Paws & Claws, Pen & Ink) are my go-tos.
