Recs if you like Murder by the Book (Beyond the Page Bookstore Mystery, #1)...

Bibliophilia at its best - books about books, readers, libraries, bookstores!

I love finding mysteries that have cutesy names or are so nice and cozy you can just jump in. So I thought I'd add a little small town/cozy character mysteries so they are easy to find

The starters for cozy mystery series with fun and unique themes, amateur sleuths with niche-specific jobs and hobbies, adorable animal companions (or supernatural beings), small towns with close-knit communities, may or may not include tasty recipes, and generally just some fun romp mysteries!

Cozy murders to cleanse the palate or just enjoy! There are craft, coffee, pet, paranormal, vacation, estate and more in this list.

Books about Sloths who wrack havoc both in the kitchen and out of it...

Books about books, bookstores, libraries, and human nature. All genres and ages

Fiction books with storefronts - such as bookshops, cafes, libraries, and more - on the front cover. The story usually revolves around the establishment on the cover. I have not read all of these, and recommendations are welcome!

Join me on a cozy tour of the United States and beyond! Cozy mysteries are low stakes, high enjoyment, and an excellent palate cleanser. And reading a cozy mystery about surroundings you recognize or would like to explore just adds to the fun! This list features cozy mystery, first-in-series books set in Massachusetts!
