We’re so excited about this new event and hope that you are, too. The number one question we get asked by readers is what’s a good cozy to read so we thought we’d compile a list of the best cozies out there in all of our favorite cozy categories. While we made every effort to choose the best books, we do realize and want to acknowledge that there were a ton of amazing and fantastic cozies that didn’t make the list. Our process for choosing the books in this list were to find books that had • Cute covers • Interesting stories • Fun concepts • Adherence to cozy elements: No sex, gore, drugs, graphic violence, etc • Feminist heroines • Zero fat shaming, no racist remarks, no stereotyped marginalized groups, etc. • We also reviewed the book suggestions from the Cozy Escape Book Club members for book club - however, we did discount recommendations made by authors of their own book We have read many of the books on the list but not all of them and sometimes went by descriptions and reviews to make a decision. Courtny + Lisa each chose 2 books/category and Molly chose one. We are super open to suggestions on changes to the process for next year and wanted to make this both fun + fair but not onerously administrative with formal bylaws and politics. We hope you enjoy reading through this list as much as we did making it. And if reading a long list isn’t your thing, then make sure to watch Courtny + Lisa’s BookTube channels September 1-10 where we’ll be posting 1 video/day to share all 100 books 🍪What are the Cozy Escape Book Awards A fun way to celebrate our love of cozy mysteries with other readers, celebrate the hard work of so many amazing authors who help fuel our cozy addiction and formally acknowledge National Cozy Mystery Day: 9/15 (which just also happens to be Lucky’s birthday!) 🙋‍♀️Who is it for Anyone who loves cozy mysteries 📅 When is it New videos go up on Courtny + Lisa’s channels September 1 - 10 and then we’ll host a LIVEstream on Courtny’s channel on Setpember 15 to celebrate National Cozy Mystery Day + announce the winners 🗺️ Where can I find more information All voting, videos and information will be posted on Lisa’s Events page at https://lisasiefert.com/events/ cozy-escape-awards/ 🍵How does it work Courtny + Lisa will each post a new video September 1-10 on our channels to highlight a new cateory - there will be 20 categories in total.
