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”.
For cozy days, I usually find myself gravitating toward some of my childhood favorites like the Edge Chronicles by Paul Stewart & Chris Riddell, Pendragon by D. J. MacHale, or the Last Dragon Chronicles by Chris d’Lacey.
