There's a particular pleasure in the first book of a cozy series, getting to know the amateur sleuth. And then following the clues alongside them. This month I've rounded up eleven different books with amateur sleuths you might like to get to know. The full list is on the blog. Tell me, who's an amateur sleuth you'd follow anywhere?

Curious about cozy mysteries but not sure where to begin? They’re the gentlest corner of crime fiction: an amateur sleuth, a small town where everyone knows everyone, the violence kept off the page, and a craft, a recipe, or a clever cat at the heart of the story.
I’ve put together a starter guide. What makes a mystery cozy, the subgenres worth knowing, and 12 first-in-series books to begin with.Read it here: https://knitlikegranny.com/cozy-mystery/

One of the appeals of a cozy: a real murder mystery with no forensic detail you'll regret reading at 2am. Fair-play clues, a comforting town, no gore to keep you awake. This month's list is eleven first-in-series cozies that pass the read-before-bed test. Full list on the blog.

If someone (why would you think it's me? I'm really asking for a fried) thought that "Uprooted" and "The Goblin Emperor" were perfect vacation comfort reads, what other book will this person like?
Personal recommendations please based on the above two. [Standalones or books that can be read as standalones preferred but not required.]
Boosts very welcome.

A soft, soul-warming read for the season! The Door-to-Door Bookstore follows an elderly bookseller and a bright 9-year-old girl whose friendship brings heart, hope, and the magic of books. Perfect for cozy fiction lovers. ❤️📚✨ #BookReview #ComfortReads #LiteraryFiction #AudiobookLove #Heartwarming

Do you read multiple genres or stick primarily to one? What's your genre comfort zone?

I 'comfort read' too! Currently Elizabeth Moon's Vatta space opera series. Come to think, all my comfort reads are future space opera themed. Except for Wind in the Willows.
Might I suggest an edit? Add #ComfortReads
Maybe we'll pick up some new ideas. -
A Nature Diary by Richard Adams is one of those books I keep as "always reading". I leave them all over the place and now and then I open them up, I look for today's date to read. Yesterday was indeed Saturday, but it seems there's no 23rd? #NatureWriting #ComfortReads #DailyReads #Books #Reading

Night Shift and Night Shadow by Nora Roberts #ComfortReads - What is yours? https://bookstore.jolenesbooksandmore.com/product/night-shift-and-night-shadow-by-nora-roberts/

Kinda of tired, stayed up late last night re-reading #PrideAndPrejudice. Mr. Darcy had just called on Elizabeth. I couldn't leave them in such distress all alone, all night, could I?
I'm hoping to read The Other Bennet Sister and Pride and Premeditation for #JaneAustenJuly and I thought I would start with a re-read because any excuse to read this book is a good one 😍
I'm reading the stunning digital edition from @gutenberg_org you can get it here:

The lovely thing about having a #CozyMystery obsession is that when you're sick on a rainy Sunday, all you need is a bowl of hot soup, a crusty loaf of homemade bread, a cat on your lap, to stretch your hand out to the nearest shelf and you are SET.
Between the lifetime collection of your favorite mysteries, your Kindle, your DVDs, streaming BritBox, Acorn, and the like... you are in full comfort mode. #MysteryLover #MysteryWriter #SelfCare #ComfortReads #ComfortWatch #sick

@Archergal The Pratchett audiobooks are what I listen to fall asleep to as well!
Usually Witches Abroad, Reaper Man, and I'm currently listening to the City Watch series for the first time. Been enjoying Guards! Guards!

@gavreads Definitely _To Say Nothing of the Dog_. It's one of my all time favorite #sff #ComfortReads #ConnieWillis

Via Tor.com:
""There are lots of books that can give me a temporary escape from reality, but *comfort reads* give me sustenance."
Author @older highlights 5 of the books that always make her feel better, even if they're not particularly cozy or light:ETA: Her _Mimicking of Known Successes_ is now part of my own Pantheon of comfort reads

I've had fans tell me that these are #ComfortReads for them. Which is a great compliment. NIGHT CALLS is about a young neurodiverse girl who is born of a long line of "practitioners."
Her mother doesn't want her to manifest the gift, because it can narrow life choices. But Allie doesn't plan to miss anything. Available at this writer's coop & the usual places.
Do you have comfort reads to share?

#Comfortreads: #HarryPotter, The Hobbit, #hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy, any Enid Blyton or Roald Dahl, #PercyJackson, Calvin and Hobbes, a few Beatles/Lennon biographies, and for some reason I always find browsing dictionaries/encyclopedias/reference books help too
#Comfortviewing: #DoctorWho, Red Dwarf, Good Omens (also good comfort reading), Only Fools and Horses, Buffy, Beatles Anthology, Star Wars, some MCU films

As an update to my last post about books for lethargic times, I'm currently ill in at least 3 different ways, so I've retreated into a Redwall book I haven't yet read. It's been many years since I last read one of these and I'm really enjoying it! Anyone for a scone with strawberry preserve and meadowcream?

I'm loving the latest one so much (as always), and I highly recommend the series as a whole for lots and lots of comfort reads. It starts with Book 1, Clean Sweep: https://goodreads.com/book/show/19090384-clean-sweep
(I like Book 1 an awful lot, but from Book 2 onwards it just hits a whole new level of fun and awesomeness. Seriously, I CHERISH this series! And I'm planning to do a full-series re-read as soon as I finish the latest one.)

Happy happy book birthday to
Ilona Andrews's Sweep of the Heart! This is quite possibly my favorite fantasy series EVER (I re-read it regularly because it's such perfect comfort reading), and I am so happy to have a new instalment to read: https://ilona-andrews.com/featured-release/ -
Comfort Reads!
It's been A Week, so I'm re-listening to Terry Pratchett's Reaper Man for the upty-umpteenth time.
When you need a fuzzy blanket made of words, what do you turn to?

@BookwormYogi I was feeling very... bruised... by life, so decided to re-read E.F Benson's Mapp and Lucia books. Where nothing these frenemies do is of the slightest importance, but they do it with Machiavellian strategy and purpose.
Will Miss Mapp uncover Lucia really doesn't speak Italian? Will Lucia reveal Miss Mapp rejected her entry to the Art Committee without putting it before the entire committee? Who will win the next round?
