Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each week a new theme is suggested for bloggers to participate in. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want. Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to The Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
Today’s Top 10: Top Ten Cozy Reads
1. The Grilled Cheese Mystery series by Linda Reilly. This is a fun, hunger-inducing cozy mystery series.
2. The By the Book Seris by Tamara Berry. This series is fun and cozy.
3. The A Friend for Hire Mystery series by Laura Bradford. This book is set in a small town and has a delightful dog.
4. The Nosey Parker Cozy Mystery series by Fiona Leitch. I want to read more of this cozy mystery series.
5. The Littlest Library by Poppy Alexander. I find this book cozy as it’s set in a small town and they turn a phone box into a library.
6. The Lost Ticket by Freya Sampson. This features a cast of unlikely people who become friends in order to help an older man with his dream.
7. The Getaway by Emily March. This new series is set in the fictional town of Lake in the Clouds, and it’s sounds like such a cozy place to live.
8. The Magic of Lemon Drop Pie by Rachel Linden. Lemon drop pie just sounds cozy to me. 🙂
9. The Christmas Bookshop by Jenny Colgan. Spending Christmas in a bookshop is very cozy.
10. The Christmas Spirit by Debbie Macomber. Spending time in a small town with a book by a favorite author is just about as cozy as it gets.
Do you enjoy Cozy books? What are your favorite cozy books?
I’m still loving The Littlest Library cover. ❤
I’ve only read The Christmas Bookshop from your list, but it was so very cozy! I’ve never read a cozy mystery and I’m determined to change that next year. You’ve given me plenty to consider. 🙂
Cozy mysteries are my choice for cozy reads though Jenny Colgan books never fail to disappoint. I really want to read The Littlest Library and the new Emily March series. I have both on my TBR but had forgotten about them.
I love all the cozy mysteries on your list, Wendy. I have read many of these and agree, they are cozy and give that warm, fuzzy feeling.
I’m not really a mystery reader very often, but I always love the titles of cozy mysteries!
I associate several of those authors/series with ‘cozy’, too, especially Debbie Macomber at this time of the year.
These really do shout cozy!! Great list!
I’ve read Emily March before, but not that one. And Debbie Macomber I like too.
I do enjoy cozy books. To me, the ultimate cozy read is Anne of Green Gables 👒.
I spend so much time reading serious stuff. I really should lean in more on cozy books for a little relaxation. Thanks for visiting.
Why haven’t I read The Littlest Library?! I have it on my TBR pile. The Lost Ticket sounds good too. These all sound like fun cozy reads. I really enjoy Colgan’s writing and need to read more of her work.
Jenny Colgan and Debbie Macomber are my favorites when I need a cozy read.
I agree, they both write such comforting stories.
These look fun! I feel like I haven’t read a cozy in ages. A few years ago I was reading them quite a bit and reviewing a fair amount of them too. I kinda miss those…
Great list.. i have read The Spirit of Christmas and would like to try a few others.
I love the Berry series and anything by Jenny Colgan. I’ve seen lots of rave reviews of the Reilly series, so that’s one I definitely need to try. Who can go wrong with grilled cheese?? Talk about cozy!
Happy TTT!

Yes, but if you read the Grilled Cheese series, be prepared to want to eat grilled cheese sandwiches!
Thank you so much for sharing this list, Wendy! I completely forgot about the By the Book Series. I’m looking forward to reading them this weekend!
Great list! I loved both Buried in a Good Book and The Littlest Library, too. 😀
Debbie Macomber books are always a good read, and the Christmas Bookshop must be heaven! 😀
Well, as you know, I’m a fan of the Grilled Cheese Mysteries, too. I have that on my list today. I read Buried in a Good Book. I think I’m in the minority when I say it didn’t feel too cozy to me. I found it difficult to connect with the main character. I know it’s very popular and well-liked by many, though. The Cozy Mystery Book Club will be reading and talking about that book in February, so I’m excited to find out what others thought. I have not yet read any books by Debbie Macomber, but I have one on my TBR for next year. Have a great (and cozy) evening. 🙂
I felt like I got to know Tess, the main character a bit better in the second book. But I can see that she’s a bit intense.
My copy of The Christmas Spirit arrived from the library just the other day. It was your blog post about it that made me request it. 🙂

Oh, Thank you, Lydia! I hope you enjoy it!
I can’t say I’ve ever read a cozy, but I sure do enjoy the titles and covers. Especially those Christmas covers.
Yes, they are so darned cute!
I have a Jenny Colgan on my list too and Magic of Lemon Drop Pie is on my TBR. You mentioned The Uncommon Reader on my site – I really think you’d enjoy it; it’s super short and super fun.
Thanks for visiting!
I just downloaded The Uncommon Reader, and I’m really looking forward to it. I love corgi’s and I’m fascinated by the Royal Family
All of these covers have a warm and cozy feel. I love it!
Thank you, Deanna!
You picked ones that are definitely cozy looking, especially the ones with dogs!
Yes, I think the addition of a dog automatically makes it cozy. At least for me it does. 😂
These look so cute. I’ve always wondered what the term ‘cozy mysteries’ means.
I think it just means it’s not too serious, I think. 🙂
We love the book covers with puppies!
I do too!!
Aw, these sound so good! I still haven’t read The Littlest Library but it’s on my list. I really want to read The Christmas Bookshop too x
They were both excellent. I hope you get some time soon to get to them.
These look like great choices, perfect for the time of year too 😊
Thank you, Jenny
Cozy mysteries are a favorite with me, but all of your choices sound like good reads.
Thank you, Linda!
I have a better understanding of “cozy” reads after looking at what others have posted 😉 Nice choices, Wendy!
I just made a guess! I just thought about what makes me feel cozy.
I’d say that Jenny Colgan and Debbie Macomber are the definition of cozy reads. 🙂
Yes, I would agree with that 100%
All of these look incredibly cozy and I just want to curl up with them. Nice list!
Thank you, Kami!
By the Book series is definitely a good pick for this one! I can’t wait for the third book.
Me too! I can’t wait for it.
Definitely want to read Lemon Drop Pie. The grilled cheese series looks very tempting too. I’m sure these will make one want to eat pie and grilled cheese🥧🥪. Great list Wendy🙂
Yes, they will! I loved Lemon Drop Pie and the Grilled Cheese mysteries. Thank you, Mallika
I love the dog covers. And the Christmas covers. These all look very cute. 🙂
Thank you, Aj.
Great choices Wendy!🤗📚☕💜
Thank you, Susan
I think this theme was just made for you😀 I love your choices for this week
Thank you, Janette! Yes, I love cozy books!
Cozy books are some of my favourites! I really enjoyed The Getaway as well as The Christmas Spirit.
They are both so cozy! Thank you, Jodie!
Lost ticket and murder on the menu are my favourite. Great list!
They were both such good books!
Those are some great cozy choices. The covers are always so warm and inviting, aren’t they? Excellent post!
This week’s topic was an easy one for me, as I love cozy books.
Great list! I like reading Jenny Colgan and Debbie Macomber also. That Grilled Cheese Mystery series sounds fun. Cute covers!
Thank you!
Some great choices! Lemon Drop Pie is my favorite of these.
I loved that book! Thank you, Bonnie
Just about all of these are on my TBR, but I haven’t had time to read any of them… It’s ALMOST holidays and then the end of the year. Next year I will have to plan this better…..
Looking forward to digging into your recommendations!

It’s so difficult to find the time to read!
Some of these have great titles and there’s quite a few that appeal to me.
Thank you, Cathy
