The Bookish Mindset

Cosy fantasy is a genre that’s been growing in popularity for some time. It’s gentler than your high stakes fantasy, but more fantastical than your magical realism. They can be the perfect palette cleanser and the most enjoyable escapes.

Here’s my list of read and yet to read cosy fantasy’s that I think you’ll love getting to know:

• Legends & Lattes – Travis Baldree
• Bookshops & Bonedust – Travis Baldree
• A Pslam for the Wild-Built – Becky Chambers*
• The Restaurant at the Edge of the World – Oliver Gerlach
• Dallergut Dream Department Store – Miye Lee et al.
• Return to the Dallergut Dream Department Store – Miye Lee et al.
• The Tea Dragon Society – K. O’Neill*
• Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea – Rebecca Thorne*
• Watermoon – Samantha Sotto Yambao
• Mooncakes – Suzanne Walker & Wedy Xu (Graphic Novel)

* indicates I’ve not read it yet, but it’s on my TBR and I’ve heard good things.

If reading more is something that you’re looking at doing this year then should check my reading challenge out here! Read nine books from nine prompts over the first six months of the year and be entered into a draw to win a bundle of bookish goodies.
