How I Discovered Cozy Mysteries, My First Cozy Mystery Series, and Library Love

I first discovered cozy mysteries in the New Release section of my local public library. I was just looking for my next read and the punny title and cute cover drew me in.

My first cozy mystery series is Magical Cats by Sofie Kelly. This series is still amongst my favorites of all time. It has some of my favorite themes cats and library. When I mention this series to others they often ask me if this is a kid or adult series.

I love the public library. There is something magical and enchanting about finding the right book to suit my mood. Reading a book is like embarking on an adventure to me.

How did you discover cozy mysteries? What was the first cozy mystery series you read? Do you love the library as much as I do? Please leave a comment.

My Thoughts On Romance In Cozy Mysteries

I like light clean romance in a cozy mystery. Light romance that doesn’t overshadow the mystery since that’s why I read cozy mysteries. I don’t mind if the main character dates a law enforcement person or not as long as they are confident in themselves and bring that to the relationship. I do like romances that start with a friendship and then several books down the line blossom into a marriage. I do like the series to continue when the characters are married so we can see that side of the relationship too. I don’t like love triangles and cheating in cozy mysteries. I feel like the author writes a love triangle to add conflict when solving the mystery is enough of a conflict for me.

Likes:

  • Light romance – not taking away from the mystery
  • Clean Romance
  • Friends first
  • Second chance love with childhood sweetheart or friend
  • Love after loss of spouse
  • Romance with older characters
  • Romance that each person is there for one another/true partners
  • Romances that move to marriage
  • Books that take place after the marriage
  • Law enforcement and non-law enforcement romances
  • Main character confident in relationship

Dislikes:

  • Romances that overshadow the mystery
  • Love Triangles
  • Cheating
  • Spicy romance and hooking up
  • Excessive pining over love interest
