Mysteries to cozy up with.
If you had told me years ago that I’d happily watch Christmas movies while it’s ninety-plus degrees outside or reach for a spooky mystery in the middle of July, I probably would have laughed. Yet here we are.
Somehow, July has become one of the coziest reading months of the year.
When January rolled around, I decided to make one small change to my evening routine—I started reading before bed.
Now, before you say, “You’re an author. Of course you read before bed!” let me explain. Like many people, I had fallen into the habit of checking my phone one last time before turning out the light. I finally decided it was time for a change, so I swapped the screen for a book.
Who’s ready for packing up beach bags and heading out for some relaxing time by the pool or on the beach? Let’s see those hands! Now, if I’m filling a beach bag, you can bet it’s stocked with sunscreen (and more sunscreen), a water bottle, a toiletry bag, sunglasses and, of course, a book. Because lounging outside and reading a good book simply go hand in hand. Summer and reading were made for each other.
