Perfect Picks: Cozy Mysteries to Read This Summer
Summer is the perfect time to unwind with a captivating cozy mystery in hand. As the days grow longer and the sun shines brighter, there’s nothing quite like the joy of leisurely reading. My “to-be-read” list is overflowing, and I’m excited to share some of these delightful finds with you. In addition to cozy mysteries, I’ll also be sharing three bonus books that diverge from this genre: two thrillers and one women’s fiction novel, offering a little something for everyone.
Friday Faves 6/6/25
Happy Friday, friends!
It’s been a little while since I shared a Friday Faves post, but I’m back with a fresh roundup of what’s been bringing me joy this week. Time is flying—I hit 30,000 words in my current work-in-progress (yay!), and I’ve officially started copyedits on the manuscript that’s due to my publisher in July. Between the writing sprints and editing, I’ve been keeping busy, but I’m loving the momentum.
The Cozy Mystery Tropes We Can’t Get Enough Of
One of the reasons I fell head over heels for cozy mysteries—both as a reader and a writer—is the familiar charm of the tropes we all know and love. You know the ones: the plucky amateur sleuth who always seems to stumble on trouble, the quaint small town where everyone has a secret, the love interest who also happens to wear a badge… They’re like the comforting ingredients in a favorite recipe. No matter how many times they show up, they never lose their appeal.
