Hi and welcome back to another Top Ten Tuesday post! This week’s topic is suggested by another Laurie over at Bay State Reader’s Advisory and is Books for Armchair Travelers. Now, I’m notorious (or famous) for going rogue, so that’s exactly what I am doing this week. Or, not entirely, but I still won’t stick to the original topic. I will just list ten books classified as cosy instead, no matter whether I agree on this classification or not. Furthermore, I haven’t read all of these. And by now, I realize this has been an old topic on which I went rogue… Are you even surprised? LOL! Without further ado, let’s get all cosy and comfortable in our armchairs in this last stretch of winter!
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
- A Wizard’s Guide for Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher (current read)
- The Pumpkin Spice Café by Laurie Gilmore (read) (review)
- The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst (TBR)
- The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna (read) (review)
- Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree (read) (review)
- The Baby Dragon Café by A.T. Qureshi (not interested in)
- For Whom the Belle Tolls by Jaysea Lynn (read) (it’s a bit on the edge of cosy) (review)
- Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter by Heather Fawcett (out today) (TBR)
- The Enchanted Greenhouse by Sarah Beth Durst (TBR)
- Summer at the Comfort Food Café by Debbie Johnson (read) (oh well, this is summery instead of wintery)
These are just 10 out of the endless options when it comes to books marketed as cosy. Do you enjoy reading this type of books with such low stakes? Which ones did I miss? I know, I know, I didn’t add Emily Wilde, but I did that on purpose.
