A magical idea for a list! The Library at the Edge of the Wood by Liz Delton is a really good read & might fit this list! I highly recommend it!
ooh thank you so much for the rec! it sounds like a perfect fit 🥰
not cozy, but either The Shadow of the Wind or Ink & Bone would fit the library setting!
ooh thank you for the recs! love any library setting we can get 🙂↕️
Really not cozy at all, but I think The Library at Mount Char would fit this
oooh this book sounds so cool 👀 tysm for the suggestion!!!
Oooooooooh this is such a neat list! May I suggest The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman? It's not super super cozy, but it is about a spy who gets magical powers from an interdimensional library!
ooh i love the addition of an interdimensional library ! tysm for the rec 🥹
May I suggest The Library of the Unwritten by A.J. Hackwith ? It’s a library of books that were never completed :) the trilogy has found family vibes :)
thank you sm for the suggestion!! it sounds like a perfect fit 🥰
