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”.
My personal favorite trilogy is His Dark Materials from Philip Pullman. It is somewhat forgotten these days but they are excellent in every meaning of the word.
A fantastic series that left a lasting influence on my taste in fiction. Surprisingly thought-provoking and heavy for the age at which I read it.
