Top 5 Tuesday: Cozy Reads

Welcome back to Top 5 Tuesday, now following the list from That Artsy Reader Girl! As always, I do a top 5 instead of a top 10 because I tend to struggle to find 10 books for prompts.

This week's prompt is..... cozy reads

These are in no particular order

1. In Love's Key, Reprised by Guri Nojiro
2. Ringtail Bedtime by Sandra LJ
3. Pillow Thoughts by Courtney Peppernell
4. The Lion in the Library by Amy Award
5. Sweet on You by Dani Galliaro

There is quite the variety of reading reccomendations here so there should be something here for every reader. From poetry, to manga, to romance, to children's, everything that I read that could be called cozy is here. I do not read fantasy so for cozy fantasty recs you should check the recs of others.

Here it all is in a pretty lil' graphic 😁

Oh gosh things in my personal life are an utter mess not gonna lie. A lot of big changes and depressing things, but books are my happy place through this all. Thank you for sticking with me and see you tomorrow for some gushing!

 Free for All Friday: NetGalley TBR Updates (Sept 2025)

Intro

I have been quite the user of NetGalley lately, so my TBR is stacking up (at least for me). This extra sucks because I had *just* gotten my review ratio up to 81% when I got a bulk bunch of approvals. Now it is 77%, which still isn't too bad. Let's dive into what books are actually there!

My TBR

• A Killer Wedding by Joan O'Leary (Sept 2025)
• Last Chance Live! by Helena Haywoode Henry (Oct 2025)
• In Love's Key, Reprised by Guri Nojiro (Sept 2025)
• To Cage a Wild Bird by Brooke Fast (Mar 2026)
• Get Over It, April Evans by Ashley Herring Blake (Feb 2026)

Outro

I am quite excited for all of these, honestly. The variety is honestly my favorite part! Each of these should be a spectacular read, so keep an eye out over the next few months to see my thoughts on these! What is your NetGalley TBR looking like?
