This list is a comfort-reads pantry of low-stakes fantasy where food and drink are the magic. Every pick centers a kitchen, café, tea room, coffee bar, bakery, cocktail or anything food as the heart of the story, with conflicts that stay gentle, community-minded plots, and endings that leave you soothed rather than stressed. Cozy, sensory escapes and character growth over battles!

This includes book that have either mystery or thrillers as a primary or secondary genre. If you have recommendations to add please comment and I'll happily add them 💕

Want to start a life in the cottage, escape from the horror of life and tuck into your corner in the world? Just remember, this could be a cozy corner OR it could be just the opposite of that...

These are books I am going to start reading before bed, because my regular selection of reading material just really riles me up. Inspired by two posts from the Substack Feeling! Magazine by Jenna O'Brien.

From crimes and heists to quests and tests… Here are some mysterious fantasy books that don’t revolve around murder! The “mystery” may be central to the plot, or may be a sprinkle of intrigue on the side. Have fun and get solving!!

This is to accompany my “fantasy whodunnit !” list, which is, indeed, more murder-centric.

Ready to give up the ways of our city life, join a coven, pick up your speciality magic and make it far? This is the cozy edition of it and it includes fantasy, romance & PNR for the main part. (Please always check whether it's cozy for you as its subjective)

Imagine you’re in the Shire, sitting in a comfy high backed chair, with a plate of snacks and a warm drink by your side. You’re comfy in the way only a hobbit can be, and you glance at your bookcase. These are the books that reside there.

Books that have significant cats, because what bookworm doesn't enjoy cats? (For series I have only included book 1.)

A list of 50+ various witchy books of varying degrees of reading level, for all things witchy and magic. The list ranges from YA to adult.

books w sense of humor (or voice) that's A) so subtle and cleverly disguised you could blink and miss it B) so blatant it's like being hit over the head C) so outrageous it's honestly just absurd D) drier than the sahara desert E) rather tongue-in-cheek F) all (or at least more than one) of the above

(some are more obvious than others since some are clearly intended to be satirical and others were just written in such a dry voice it made me chortle)

books so magical, you forget you're reading

Let's have some fun this book is lit, I wanna read a lot but my brain is sick (😴🫩🥱) Don't think too much, this book just vibes, I wanna take a ride on your cowboy hide.

The go to list for your "I need a break from thinking but I wanna have fun" ranging from your NSFW reads to graphic novels. 🔥🤠👽😈☺️🧜🧛🫖❤️ 1st book in series - or if series has too much thinking, will add the least brain power one! Adding books as I continue to read them

(Recommendations are OPEN)

A cosy blend of magic and romance, filled with whimsical charm.

Tall, dark and morally ambiguous has its time and place okay? But sometimes we just need the love of a sweet, sweet man who would never harm us 😌

Edited to add: do you KNOW how hard it was to find even five books?? I had to scroll back through my finished reads all the way to 2021! 😂 either I have Tall, dark and morally ambiguous taste, or it’s a rare trope. Either way, now starts my mission to seek them out. This will be a mix of genres, m/f m/m and possibly trigger warnings.
