Cozy Fantasy/Scifi - Comforting Reads for When Life is Stressful Enough
16
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.
Sprayed edges! And a sassy sentient spider plant! This book starts a little intense, but very quickly becomes very cute and cozy.
The Spellshop
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
One of my favorites! So cute and cozy. Explores a lot of concepts of home and found family. I'm so excited for her next book coming out 7/15/25.
The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches
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
Another found family! a bit of an epic quest in a cozy way.
The Teller of Small Fortunes
On KU. This novela is slow and meandering. Don't come here for a big plot. But it is a cute, cozy, existential exploration of a lost human and re-emerging robot finding their way. One of my favorite books!
A Psalm for the Wild-Built: Monk & Robot 1
On KU. The second Monk and Robot book! (A Psalm for the Wild Built is book one) Just as good as the first! But just as slow and meandering. Don't come into this expecting fast paced at all. It is meant to be sat with.
A Prayer for the Crown-Shy
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)
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
On KU. I ate this up! Funny, found family, robots, futuristic society
In the Lives of Puppets
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 1
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
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 (Wayfarers 2)
Great for travel! Lightweight, great battery life, great storage. And it includes 3 months of Kindle Unlimited!
New Amazon Kindle 16GB Black + 3 Months KU
Kindle Unlimited (KU) is a great way to read a lot of ebooks at a reasonable price. For a flat monthly fee, you get to read any of the books in the KU library. You can only have 20 in your library at a time, but you can return a book and grab a new o...

Sassy animals, Peruvian folklore, and a cute romance! I loved this book!
