hi everyone, thanks for watching! As pointed out to me so kindly by a viewer, the tea monk in the monk + robot books is actually non-binary and uses they/them pronouns. The robot uses it pronouns as it is an object- this is also discussed in the book in a lovely way and is a part of the wonderful story. It somehow completely slipped my mind, hence why I'm correcting it here 📖💫
I LOVE In the Company of Witches! 🥰 The author is also currently fighting breast cancer so it‘s amazing that more and more people are reading her books and support her 💝
I’m reading The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches and it’s sooo lovely, don’t know if it completely falls into the cozy fantasy genre but it does have tons of magic and cozy feelings! highly recommend 🔮💜
totally agree about T. Kingfisher!! Nettle & Bone was one of my favourite books I read in 2022, and defensive baking was sooo cute, loved it as well. So many of these are on my tbr, such a great genre
Love the T. Kingfisher shout out as I also quickly became a huge fan of her fantasies. Sword heart has become one of my favorite books and the Saint of Steel trilogy by the same author is much along the same vein with romance and some murder solving on the side
In the company of witches is my absolute favorite. It surprised me how much heart and coziness is written in the pages! The second book is even better and had me in tears! The way she ends the second book, I PRAY she releases a third! ❤❤❤
Okay, you've just convinced me to pick up Legends and Lattes the next time I'm at the bookstore! Also, I just finished reading Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik... It's basically a retelling of Rumpelstiltskin and definitely falls into cozy, winter fantasy. Absolutely loved it!
I heard that “can’t spell treason without tea” actually has a lot action and most of the story doesn’t take place in the bookstore. I think it still can be good but don’t expect something like legends & lattes. Listening to cute ambience is such a good way to experience the book I love doing it and you are so right that everybody should try it ❤ End for me perfect cozy fantasy is House in the Cerulean sea it’s became my favorite book and legends and lattes (currently reading)
Hi - you are exactly right about " Can't Spell Treason Without Tea". It was action packed and most of it took place outside of the bookshop + the characters were always in danger. It definitely didn't have the cozy vibe I was looking for.
I think your channel is the CZcams equivalent of cozy fantasy! I love the atmosphere you manage to create with warm colors and the candles, and also your personal style reminds me of a fairy or a magic character, I love it!
Ahh! Thank you for this video! The book that got me wishing for more cozy vibed books was Sunshine by Robin McKinley. The main character works in a cafe as a baker and makes the best cinnamon rolls, her home gave cozy vibes too. Yet there is this supernatural world around her that she gets pulled into.
I adored Nettle & Bone - it takes a bit to get into, but it's so charmingly offbeat and such a wonderful love-letter to fairytales, as much of T. Kingfisher's work is! SO happy for the recommendation on Psalm for the Wild-Built - I haven't heard of this one, but it sounds so good!
Such a good list! i’m new in the cozy fantasy world and now I have a good starting point, I’ve seen Legends & Lattes in so many list that I think that’ll be my starting point
Yeah!! A Dutch booktuber! I was watching and heard you say Freya Marske and thought: that sounds Dutch 😂 Superleuk! Ben benieuwd naar de rest van je content 👍
I listened to 'Swordheart' and 'Nettle and Bone', as well as the Paladin Series and several others. I LOVE THEM ALL!!! Swordheart' was sooo sweet!! ❤️❤️ My favorite was 'The Hollow Places'. T. Kingfisher is officially my favorite author! At least for the moment!
When it comes to cozy fantasy: everything from Walter Moers! He is my absolute favorite author and no one ever talks about his wonderful books unfortunately. I especially recommend The City of dreaming books for cozy vibes. Rumo i recommend for more darkness 🖤
Anything by T. Kingfisher is a treat! And I am obsessed with Can't Spell Treason without the Tea, gives you the same vibes as Legends and Lattes. I don't know if you've read The Hands of the Emperor yet, but if you love beaurocratic cozy fantasy, it is the best! One of my very favorites.
I recommend The Wandering Inn by Pirateaba. I got very similar vibes reading Legends and Lattes as if Travis Baldree was inspired by The Wandering Inn.
I love cozy fantasy so much! My favourite is Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree obviously but I'm looking forward to exploring the genre more this year! Great Video!♡
You may enjoy the Bartolemeus series by Jonathan Stroud - it's middle-grade but other than that it's similar to the magical bureaucracy concept you mentioned, and the action stays high throughout the series.
Cosy & Fantasy? Have the planets aligned? This is EXACTLY what I needed and wanted :) Thank you for this video. 🙏 I'll have to find these books and read them. With the appropriate ambiance, latte and cinnamon rolls, as you suggested ;)
The Chrestomancy series is really good! It's true, every book follows different characters, but they are all link through Chrestomancy. I think my favourite is the second one: "The lives of Christopher Chant", or maybe the third, "The magicians of Caprona". Anyways, anything by Diana Wynne Jones is great, she was just great.
Nettle and Bone doesn't start at the beginning, which is initially a little confusing, but then it soon goes to a chronological telling -- then it really rolls along and is great. Swordheart and A Wizard's Guide are great. The Paladin series is set in the same world as Swordheart, with some overlapping characters. T. Kingfisher also writes middle grade books under the name Ursula Vernon, and those are fantastic -- I haven't read her Dragonbreath series, but the Harriette Hamsterbone the Hamster Princess books are funny and surprising and so so great.
Company of witches is going on my tbr. Honestly, a lot of these are going on my TBR. Can’t spell treason without tea was really really good. Legends has my heart but it’s definitely the same vibe!
In the company of witches is so good!!! I devoured it in 2 sittings! I also cried at the end of the book. It was one of my favorite books of last year!
I really want to read a wizards guide to defensive baking! I read Legends & Lattes and I loved thimble and the giant cat and the coffee shop 😊 and I also use the fantasy tavern and coffee shop ambiance videos! They are so great
The T. Kingfisher books are amazing. I am currently reading Clockwork Boys and it's also great! Very funny. A bit of an adventure and a mystery. You should really try it
I listen to background ambience/sounds with every book I read! Some books even have soundtracks already.. like if they were made into a show or movie. Tons of other ambient environments can be found, it really helps me be better immersed in the story.
ive only read the first three volumes so far, but i highly recommend the manga series Witch Hat Atelier by Kamome Shirahama!! its sooooo beautifully illustrated and whilst there are high stakes moments its still incredible and always reminds me of cozy fantasies so im counting it lol :p
I really enjoyed this video! Can't wait to get hold of a copy of Lattes and Legends and curl up with a latte to read it! And magical buerocracy in A Marvellous Light intrigues me too :)
Love this video 😍I haven't read much cozy fantasy yet but I'm looking forward to reading some of your recs, especially Legend & Lattes! From what I've read, I loved The House in the Cerulean Sea!
Oh my gosh I'm so glad I found this video! I LOVE Cozy Fantasy! If you liked A Wizard's Guide and Auralee's books, you'd probably love Danielle Garrett's books. Her books are big on magic and sassy talking animals which I love to pieces. They're like a big hug - highly recommend. I also loved The Familiars by Stacey Hall I think, and The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy!
A Wizards Guide sounds a bit like Magic, Lies and Deadly Pies. That's a cozy murder mistery about a young woman who can bake feelings or intentions into her pies. So she can make people feel good or bad about something when they eat her pies, but she can also use them to murder people. I loved it, highly recommend
I didn't think anyone else had heard of In the Company of Witches! I honestly grabbed it for the cover alone because it had great vibes. T. Kingfisher is my favorite author at the moment, I love their horror books as well as their fantasy books.
Thanks, love the fun responses and the humor in your voice. Makes me want to either go buy a book you recommended, or write on. HMMM, like the second idea.
Love your energy and style as well, ah! :3 Haven't read any of these books yet but im going to now!! Im only pretty recently "found the reading hobby" and videos like yours are really inspiring!
I just finished A Psalm for the Wild-Built and I can't stop recommending it to people. I'm looking forward to reading the sequel as well, which came out recently. Thanks to you I ordered the kindle version of both That That time I got Drunk... and the second book in the series. I'm surprised you didn't mention any of the T.J. Klune books.
I've read most of the ones you mentioned and loved them. I'll be checking out the ones I haven't read yet soon. Definitely recommend anything by Becky Chambers if people have any interest in sci Fi. Other cozy fantasy I love is the House Witch series by Delemhach and the Tea Princess Chronicles series by Casey Blair.
Oh you have to read earlier things by T Kingfisher! She has a bunch of fairytale retellings that are amazing and has very similar vibes. I'll read anything by her
Just finished That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon based on this video. It is the first book I've finished in years! (Major reading rut!) It's fantastic. It's quick, it's fun, it's hilarious. I really hope more WOC get into writing fantasy because having a fiesty, independent WOC main character was so refreshing and I loved it! I will say...... there's quite a bit of very explicit sex scenes......3 in a 172 page book. Not recommend for teens. But I really hope she writes sequels as the characters are delightful and I'd love to live in this world more. Maybe with less XXX in my opinion. lol I also got You Can't Spell Treason Without Tea so I'm looking forward to that too!
Legends & Lattes was the very first book that got me into the Cozy Fantasy bandwagon! Not only have I already read it earlier this year (and loved it from start to finish) but I've collected up to six other Cozy Fantasy books after that. As we speak, I'm on Chapter Fourteen of Irregular Witches
@@leoraaileen As we speak, I'm now on Chapter Fifteen or Sixteen of Irregular Witches and loving every moment of it so far. Pity my sister couldn't get into it, though; the book was originally HERS before she decided to give it to ME
@@leoraaileen Some other Cozy Fantasy titles I've also obtained recently include the following The House in the Cerulean Sea Under the Whispering Door The Bookshop and the Barbarian The House Witch (another book my sister decided to give me, despite buying it herself) And a day or so after I finished reading Legends & Lattes, I went on to preorder the upcoming prequel book; Bookshops & Bonedust (Side Note: I'm also the proud owner of The Princess Bride; which, as it turns out, ALSO counts as a Cozy Fantasy story)
Oh love your energy and I love how excited you are about books and you really share the magic of each one even though you have not read it. So good. Just discovered you. I have just written my first enchanting definitely a cozy Family fantasy Novel, Max MacNeil & the Secrets of the Amulet and have been researching booktubers to review. let me know if you may be keen to read mine. :-D xx
I have just subscribed to your channel - I'm really enjoying this video, and the thumbnails for all your other videos look fantastic! Thanks for all these recommendations. One author I enjoy is Tom Holt - I think he probably could be classed as a cosy fantasy writer. He's been around for ages and has a long list of fantasy novels, usually written with a touch of humour.
Some great recommendations there. Added a few to my wishlist 😁 Legends and Lattes is my fav cosy book. The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy was also a really nice cosy book and a 5 star for me, so would highly recommend that one 😊
If I may suggest one cozy fantasy series that seems to be right up your alley: The House Witch by Delemhach (it is also a series - total of 3 books). Its on kindle unlimited but I do highly suggest the audiobook as well. It was truly french kiss 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
Loved your video, thank you so much for the reading ideas ! If you want to read about the same characters as Charming Life, Diana Wynne Jones also wrote The Pinhoe Egg and a short story (I don't remember the title). Her work is my favourite!
I don't know how I've only just discovered your channel but I'm so glad I did! Thank you for some awesome recommendations that I've added to my TBR. Can I ask what your accent is? I'm Australian and I hear hints of my accent in there lol

And yes, I want to read anything T. Kingfisher has written, or will write. :)
The House Witch by Delemhach is fantastic. Very cozy. Most of the story takes place in a castle kitchen run by a grumpy male witch. 😁
omg amazing, the cover is soooo cute too
I LOVE In the Company of Witches! 🥰 The author is also currently fighting breast cancer so it‘s amazing that more and more people are reading her books and support her 💝
Oh goodness I didn’t know. I loved both the books in the series ❤
“And nothing really happens but like in a good way” I love you! This is what I’m looking for.
I read lots of these books because I love that so much hahahaha
I’m reading The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches and it’s sooo lovely, don’t know if it completely falls into the cozy fantasy genre but it does have tons of magic and cozy feelings! highly recommend 🔮💜
I LOVE that book! It's so cozy and heart-warming!!
Oh, I am so delighted to have found this comment. I'm definitely reading that next. 🌞
@@girlwiththemagicpen ahhh yes!!! this one was on my pile but literally forgot to mention it lolol
My favorite book of 2023! Read it!
Lonely Castle in the Mirror is such a cozy but deep story. It's also a bit of a mystery. This book is one of my favs!
Great list! Howl's Moving Castle is one of my favorite books. I recently read A Psalm for the Wild-Built and loved it.
I highly recommend Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune! Super cosy and the setting is also a tea shop
I have never been so infatuated with a video this video itself is cozy and positive and I got to learn about books I've never heard!!
ahh thank you! welcome to the channel
totally agree about T. Kingfisher!! Nettle & Bone was one of my favourite books I read in 2022, and defensive baking was sooo cute, loved it as well. So many of these are on my tbr, such a great genre

Also, I just finished reading Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik... It's basically a retelling of Rumpelstiltskin and definitely falls into cozy, winter fantasy. Absolutely loved it!
I heard so many good things about legends and lattes! If I ever see it available at the library I will pick it up instantly!

welcome 🌛💌☕️
I cannot wait to finally read legends and lattes❤
I'm so glad you mentioned "A Wizard's Guide." How did it feel so cozy with a murder and seige? I loved this book. Bob the Sourdough!!!
My fave character is Bob for sure hahahahahahaha
Some great recommendations there. Added a few to my wishlist 😁 Legends and Lattes is my fav cosy book. The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy was also a really nice cosy book and a 5 star for me, so would highly recommend that one 😊

Hi Leora, Just found your channel through this video. We have the same taste in cozy and slow SFF.
That time I got drunk books are SOOOOO GOOD
There are TWO hilarious chickens in Nettle and Bone and they may have been my favourite part of that book. Hilarious
i loved these recommendations! i’m wondering also if you’ve read “The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels”? it’s SO good and oddly cozy as well!
Loved your video, thank you so much for the reading ideas !
If you want to read about the same characters as Charming Life, Diana Wynne Jones also wrote The Pinhoe Egg and a short story (I don't remember the title). Her work is my favourite!
I would add “The Rules and Regulations Mediating Myth and Magic by F. T. Lukens (really any of their books!)
that sounds very fun

Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries is a great one for cozy fantasy!
I don't know how I've only just discovered your channel but I'm so glad I did! Thank you for some awesome recommendations that I've added to my TBR. Can I ask what your accent is? I'm Australian and I hear hints of my accent in there lol
