I read. A LOT. I read because my heart and soul are happy when I’m reading, I read becasue my brain feels sluggish when I have not read for a few days. I read because it’s good for me.

With that being said, I don’t generally read the “heavy” books- the ones that drag you down, are filled with sorrowful events and things of that nature. I read lots of books- but some of the ones I enjoy the most are in the “cozy” category. I like picking these books back up, reading stories about characters that I’ve come to enjoy, and the community that exists in each of the cozy books.

Do you read cozy books? If you do, share the ones you read. If you think you don’t like cozy books- perhaps you have not found the right one. I’d be glad to share my favorite cozy authors!

If you do read cozy books, think about #payingitforwardwithcozymystery to a friend- introduce them to a new book. Buy a book to donate. Spread the word of your love for cozy books. Tweet the author and tell them how much you enjoy their books!

With the holidays around the corner, people are looking for ways to relax. Nothing better, for me, than a cozy and a cup of hot chocolate.
