B) The object out of place (a case file in the wrong drawer)
C) The too-perfect alibi

Ask a cozy mystery reader why they love a series and they'll usually describe the town before they describe the plot. The tea shop on the bluff. The book village. The country store with vintage cookware in the window. This month's reading list is eleven first-in-series cozies, and I've got a soft spot for the places as much as the people. The full list is on the blog. Which fictional small town has your heart?

I've just finished Michiko Aoyama's "What You Are Looking for Is in the Library" and quite enjoyed its series of vignettes about various people's insights following their fateful visits to the local library. Definitely a cozy read. Though now that I've seen the title of the French translation (La bibliothèque des rêves secrets) I cannot help but wonder what the original Japanese title was.

Two amazing cozy short story and poetry collections I have read recently:
Everyday Aliens by Polenth Blake (an ecologist) is about diverse non-humanoid aliens doing their slice-of-life things: eating, courting, changing, exploring, etc.
Bittersweetness & Light by Anne Nydam is about hope and kindness. It's not cliché or empty positivity, rather a collection of well written stories that have a joyful note.

I've read (and written) a few books lately that were billed as cosy (aka cozy) crime/mysteries/paranormal/fantasy/whatever … but they don't quite fit the mould. And cosy readers can be SCATHING if a story – however good it may be – doesn't conform to genre expectations. And I think we need a new term: one that covers stories that are mostly cosy but with a little bit of noir mixed in.
I suggest coir (#coirfiction = cosy + noir).
