Cozy Fantasy/Scifi - Comforting Reads for When Life is Stressful Enough
11
items I love fantasy and Scifi, but so much of it gets very heavy. Sometimes I need something lighter, comforting.. especially when life and the news begin to feel like too much. These are books I've read that gave me cozy, comforting vibes.
Great for travel! Lightweight, great battery life, great storage. And it includes 3 months of Kindle Unlimited!

On KU. Book 2, and I personally thought this was better than book 1. Slow, more an introspective look at identity and fitting in.
A Closed and Common Orbit: Space Opera (Wayfarers 2)
On KU. Not my favorite, but decent and has helpful context for book two which was great!
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet (Wayfarers 1)
On KU. Possibly not cozy? I'm on the fence on if this counts as cozy or not. I've seen other people describe it that way, and I found it funny and relatable in a possibly cozy way. But I LOOOOOVE this book and will add it to as many lists as I reason...
All Systems Red: The Murderbot Diaries
On KU. I ate this up! Funny, found family, robots, futuristic society
In the Lives of Puppets
Feisty sourdough starter.. what more could you want? This is middle grade! It has some heavier themes, but is suitable for kids. I read it at 28 and still enjoyed it, but don't pick this up if you can't handle a kids book. Definitely a unique concept...
A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking
I LOVED this and am really wondering why I haven't read her other books yet! Regency fantasy, which I don't read a lot of, but it hit the spot.
Half a Soul (Regency Faerie Tales, 1)
I haven't read this yet.. release date 7/15/25, but if it's anywhere near as good as her other book, this will be amazing
A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping
Special edition of the classic cozy fantasy! Not my favorite on the list, but it is a top recommended cozy fantasy and definitely worth reading. Warrior to coffee shop owner.
Legends & Lattes: Deluxe Edition
Sprayed edges! And a sassy sentient spider plant! This book starts a little intense, but very quickly becomes very cute and cozy
