Ahhh, Fall. That magical time when the leaves turn, the lattes get spiced, and the bookshelves mysteriously fill up with new cozy releases that I can’t add to my cart fast enough.

Candles lit.
Blanket burrito activated.

🍂 Why I’m So Excited

There’s just something about fall that begs for cozy mysteries. Maybe it’s the longer nights, or the fact that fictional murder pairs perfectly with cardigans and cinnamon rolls. These books have all the ingredients: charming towns, amateur sleuths, found family, and just enough twists to keep things interesting.

I’ll be diving into these as soon as I can get my hands on them—and yes, I’ll absolutely be sharing my thoughts (and possibly some themed snacks and candles) along the way.
