Hi cozy fantasy friends!

I’m on my TTC (trying to conceive) journey, so I’m attempting to reduce my stress…which apparently starts with not emotionally traumatizing myself through my reading choices. 😅

I’m looking for cozy, low-stakes fantasy with charming settings, lovable characters, found family, whimsical magic, and happy endings. Bonus points for cottages, bookstores, libraries, inns, tea, and a little romance. A little adventure or drama is ok, just nothing relentlessly stressful..

I’ve already read and loved:
*Legends & Lattes*
*Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries*
*The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches*
*The Spellshop*
*The Teller of Small Fortunes*

Hit me with your favorite low cortisol gems💛

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some comforting reading recommendations during my trying-to-conceive journey.

I’m finding that I need books that don’t leave me feeling anxious, emotionally drained, or stressed. I’d love stories that feel like a warm cup of tea—engaging enough to keep me turning the pages, but ultimately cozy, hopeful, and low-stakes.

Some genres I tend to love:
Cozy fantasy
Low-stakes fantasy
Historical fiction
Historical mysteries or cozy mysteries

Okay with a little danger or suspense, but I’d really like to avoid books with:
Pregnancy loss or infertility storylines
Child loss
Graphic violence
Extremely dark or emotionally devastating endings
High-anxiety plots where everything goes wrong.

Open to standalones or series, and bonus points if they have charming settings, found family, slow-burn romance, magical cottages, libraries, villages, inns, or just generally make you feel better after reading them.

What books have been your comfort reads?
