Today I'm linking up with Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl which is all about lists. Since lists are one of my favorite things this is one of my favorite linkups! Today's topic is Cozy/Atmospheric Books. Since October is kind of a mix between cozy feels (it is one of the "brr" months after all) and spooky feels I'm going to do 5 of each with the atmospheric leaning firmly on the spooky side.
Cozy
1. At the Coffee Shop of Curiosities by Heather Webber - Everything I've read by Webber is cozy even if it's set during summer in Alabama.
2. Aggie Morton, Mystery Queen: Peril at Owl Park by Marthe Jocelyn - A historical mystery with the main character inspired by a young Agatha Christie. It's also set on an English estate during Christmas so it's hard for it not to be cozy!
3. The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods - The book is set in Dublin around a bookshop that only shows itself to people who need it. Sounds incredibly cozy!
4. The Enchanted Greenhouse by Sarah Beth Durst - If this book is even half as cozy as the first book it will be wonderfully cozy.
5. The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper by Phaedra Patrick - The one book I've read by this author was absolutely lovely and this looks like a delightful read.
Spooky
1. Don't Let Him In by Lisa Jewell - It sounds incredibly creepy and everything I've read by Lisa Jewell has been seriously unsettling.
2. The Guest List by Lucy Foley - I'm not sure if there's a spookier setting than an isolated island - especially when things start going wrong.
3. The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager - I have only read one book by Riley Sager and really enjoyed it. This one is on my list and the premise just creeps me out.
4. The Broken Girls by Simone St James - This is on any list that involves creepy books and if I don't read it this year I'm putting it on my priority list for next year. It looks great and there aren't many people who do creepy better than St. James.
5. The New Couple in 5B by Lisa Unger - This sounds like a claustrophobic read where nothing is quite what it seems. I looking forward to it and it sounds like a good read for spooky season.
What cozy/spooky reads do you have on your TBR?
I just read The Broken Girls - so good!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good list for the atmospheric tag for sure!
ReplyDeleteI've read The Guest List and The Broken Girls which are more atmospheric than cozy I would say.
