I’ve been feeling VERY very anxious these last couple weeks and I’m looking for low-anxiety cozy books! Feeling anxious always makes me read more (classic escapism!!) but most of the books I read are so stressful and I just need something…nice and calm to read. Maybe even boring! I’ll add a list of books I’ve liked and why at the bottom of the post in case you want more specifics about what I like, but I’ll read almost anything.
Im okay with plot twists, and to be honest I love a good low stress murder mystery. I love books that can successfully hint at the killer/criminal before the reveal without it being too obvious, and without having the reveal be out of no where. The only things I WONT read is probably really romance heavy books. Romance is totally fine as long as it’s not the mail plot.
If you’re interested, here’s that list of books I love:
– one puzzling afternoon. It’s so desperately sad and I love the format it’s written in.
– in the lives of puppets. It’s such an excellent example of realistic fantasy to me, and I love the way Klune wrote the romance. It was so sweet and heart-wrenching at the same time.
– shady hollow. This is the closest to what I’m looking for now. Low-stress, unique, interesting world-building, a sweet but low key romance…
The cabin at the end of the world – I love apocalyptic books when they’re well-written.
Thank you!!!!
