20 Must-Read Cozy Fantasy Books
Isabelle Popp Jan 19, 2023
Cozy fantasy books have been popping up all over my bookish socials. I say it's a sub-genre we're way overdue for! My local bookstore shelves the cozy mysteries all together on the endcap of the mystery section. The dream is that cozy fantasy could reach the same status for the fantasy aisle. Like cozy mystery readers, cozy fantasy readers are looking for a fairly specific reading experience. First, we want an immersive world, lovingly drawn. We want characters we can really get to know and love. And perhaps most importantly, we don't want the stakes to be super high.
Here are the cozy fantasy books for those of us who love a gentle slice of life story once in a while. I don't want to read endless battle sequences. I certainly don't want the brutality of sexual assault or epidemic disease to be a part of the story. Still, the sub-genre isn't yet that well-defined, and what any individual finds "cozy" will vary. Plenty of people find The Lord of the Rings cozy, because hobbits lead a cozy way of life. But the stakes are high as could be in that series! Keeping that in mind, these are 20 must-read cozy fantasy books that dip their toes into other genres like romance, mystery, and even horror. Snuggle under your warmest quilt with your favorite hot beverage and settle in.
Adult Cozy Fantasy Books
The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna
A quirky found family story is a pretty easy sell to a lot of people looking for cozy fantasy. I'm someone who generally avoids romance books that have a plot line involving childcare. This one does, but it proves me wrong with delightfully devilish children. In a world where witches have to live in solitude to avoid attention, Mika finds herself taking a gig training three young witches whose out-of-control magic is threatening everything. What ensues is incredibly cute, cozy, and romantic.
That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming
This fun book is for readers who want some real humor in their fantasy and who don't mind that the stakes are a little higher than many cozy fantasies. It's also for people, myself included, who are happy to read fantasy not peppered with "thee" and "thine" and whatnot. In this story, Cinnamon runs into a demon who informs her that she's been worshiping an evil goddess, so they set out to hunt her down. That sounds serious, but the book is a laugh riot.
Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree
Here's the book that really brought cozy fantasy books to the map this year. If you're truly looking for low stakes, start here. Viv, an orc barbarian, has hung up her sword. She just wants to start a coffee shop. The obstacles that threaten this business venture are more Animal Crossing than World of Warcraft. Read it for the sweet cast of characters and the dollop of romance.

Sophie Go's Lonely Hearts Club by Roselle Lim
This sweet book delves into magical realism, and what is cozier than feeling that magic really could suffuse our everyday lives? Sophie Go is an unaccredited matchmaker and an outcast. But she finds a community to practice her skills on: seven septuagenarian bachelors in her condo complex. Sophie can see people's "red threads" connecting to their relationship matches, and she's a genuine and caring person. The story does depict a toxic parent relationship, if that's something you want to avoid. If you're okay with that, I can guarantee you'll be smiling page after page.
Redemption in Indigo by Karen Lord
I recommend listening to this as an audiobook if that's an option for you. It has the kinds of digressions and asides you'd get from someone spinning you a real yarn. That style is what lends this fable-like story such coziness. It's a reimagining of a Senegalese folk tale following Paama, who leaves her foolish husband. This attracts the attention of the undying djombi, who give her something called the Chaos Stick. But whether she's truly worthy of wielding that power is not clear to the Indigo Lord, and he wants to persuade Paama to give it back.
The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen
Hear me out: it's a loose You've Got Mail retelling, set in a world with zombies, and it's cozy. When the lonely zombie hunter Hart sends a letter into the void, it ends up in his nemesis Mercy's hands, and their epistolary romance ensues. Because I'm the person that I am, my favorite thing about this book was the coziness and heartfelt nature of the funerary rites that Mercy performs.
The Cat Who Saved Books by Sōsuke Natsukawa
I know there are people out there who count books, bookstores, and cats among their top interests. Here's the book for you. What would you do if a talking cat showed up at your bookstore telling you that you needed to liberate lonely, unread books from their neglectful owners? First I would be worried they'd be coming for my physical TBR, but then I'd want to join Rintaro Natsuki on this thoughtful, sweet adventure.
A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers
If you're looking for cozy sci-fi, you need to be reading Becky Chambers. If you're looking for cozy fantasy, this is one of those speculative books that blurs the boundary between sci-fi and fantasy. In this vision of the far future, the robots all walked off their jobs long ago, and humanity chose a different way life. When a tea monk meets one of these fabled robots, the two wrestle with the question of what humans really need. The result is positively lovely.
Black Water Sister by Zen Cho
Coziness means different things to different people, which is why I wanted to include this book that brings some cozy horror into an urban fantasy setting. Jessamyn Teoh is back in Malaysia after college and discovers she's being haunted by the ghost of her estranged grandmother Ah Ma. Ah Ma has a score to settle and is going to drag Jessamyn into a world of gods, gangs, and family secrets. It's a touch darker than many of the books on this list, but if you want both thrumming rage and a wholesome relationship with a cantankerous ghost, you've gotta read this one.
Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen
A comfort book for lots of readers, Garden Spells boasts an absolutely enchanting old house, home to the eccentric Waverly women who are known for their magic. When the last Waverly, Sydney, returns home, she upends everyone's lives. The family has to come together to heal, and readers should take care if wishing to avoid domestic abuse plot lines. If you think food is magic, and you have a fondness for Practical Magic, this is definitely your flavor of cozy.
Heart of Stone by Johannes T. Evans
Let's serve you up some slow burn, pining vampire cozy fantasy. It's a historical romance between a vampire named Henry and his newly hired secretary Theophilus. It's also an immersive slice of 18th century life for characters expressly written, per the author's note, with ADHD and autism. While the threat of outing and/or violence for queer characters is often driving the plot in queer historicals, this book doesn't not delve into those kinds of stakes. It's gorgeous.
Inked by Rachel Rener
This is an urban fantasy that does have some real stakes to it, but there are plenty of elements that add coziness. One is a truly adorable animal sidekick. Another is the hilarious relationship between tattoo artist Talia and her very protective Jewish mother. Talia has encountered the fae realm after using magical ink from her hot, mysterious boss Zayn's office. Turns out Zayn is an incubus, they have an adventure to go on, and Talia's mom is not going to stop calling.
YA Cozy Fantasy Books
While this book does have a sense of danger, there is a deep coziness that runs through it. It's there in the autumnal atmosphere and the richly developed folklore. This story about trans brujo Yadriel, who accidentally summons the ghost of Julian, the school bad boy. If you like reading books where you feel very protective of the characters and their unfolding relationship, this is your book. It's the cozy fantasy mystery romance you've been looking for.
Flowerheart by Catherine Bakewell (March 14)
Just look at this cover and tell me you're not dying to read this cottagecore fantasy. Catherine's out of control magic has accidentally poisoned her father. To help him, she needs help from her former best friend Xavier. Their story is friends to enemies to lovers, if that's your cup of tea. And you'll be enchanted by the flower magic and the cast of characters you'll wish you could hug.
A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher
Anyone looking for cozy fantasy vibes should definitely be checking out T. Kingfisher's fantasy books as a rule. This one follows Mona, who wields magic that only works on bread. She's got a sourdough starter as a familiar. What could be cozier? A dead body in her bakery kicks off her journey to figure out how to creatively wield her magic in order to save the day. The result is both so fun and so, so funny.
Middle Grade Cozy Fantasy Books
The Tea Dragon Society by K. O'Neill
If there's one book I could move into, it would be this one. It's basically all vibes and worldbuilding, little plot. Imagine if Pokemon didn't have to fight, but they were just super cute little dragons who produce tea. It's a book that underscores the value of care, and appreciating the good things in life that take time. And lucky you, there are three books in the series to treasure.
Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
Talk about the blueprint! Any book that has been adapted by Studio Ghibli is likely to have cozy elements, and this one definitely does. It's the captivating story of Sophie, cursed into the body of an old woman, making her way in the dramatic and Vain Howl's house. I'm honestly not sure whether I'd recommend watching the movie first or reading the book first, because it's not clear which one people generally prefer. But I would say you absolutely need both in your life.
You might also want to check out Books to Read if You Love Studio Ghibli, What To Read Next Based On Your Favorite Hayao Miyazaki Movie, and 11 Enchanting Books for Fans of Miyazaki Films.
Ghost Squad by Claribel A. Ortega
If you like books that are a little spooky and very sweet, here's a cozy middle grade fantasy you'll love. Pitched as Coco meets Stranger Things, the book chronicles the ghostbusting hijinks of friends Lucely and Syd. They're the ones who released the malicious spirits in the first place. Because of the strong friendships and family bonds depicted, this book really does give cozy feelings in abundance.
Eva Evergreen, Semi-Magical Witch by Julie Abe
This book has similar cozy vibes to the beloved Studio Ghibli film Kiki's Delivery Service. The story follows Eva, a witch-in-training who could lose her magic if she doesn't prove herself by the time she turns 13. It's as wholesome and precious as you can imagine a book about a young witch who summons cabbage when she means to summon flowers to be.
Also, check out these other books like Kiki's Delivery Service.
Root Magic by Eden Royce
This historical fantasy delves into the folk magic that has been the legacy of African American families for generations. Jez and Jay are twins learning about their family's use of rootwork, and not a moment too soon, because their town is under threat. Even with some scary themes and the underlying racism that provides a backdrop to the story, the atmospheric writing will bring you the kind of coziness that helps you brace against the cruel world.
Once you've let each of these books wrap you in a warm hug, check out our feel-good fantasy and light fantasy lists for even more books to cozy up with. Hunker down and happy reading.

Dean Mohtar delivered the keynote address and chaired a session of the Water-Energy-Food Nexus Conference organized by the Ibrahim AbdEl Al Foundation at the Order of Engineers in Beirut on October 4. In his address, the Dean highlighted the interlinkages between water, energy, and food, and the implications of these on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). He spoke of the importance of the SDGs for achieving environmental resilience and called for the adoption of a new business model based on values, a comprehensive work methodology that defines the interconnectedness between water productivity and energy efficiency, and the comprehensive management of water resources. All of these are essential to achieving sustainable livelihoods and human security. Dean Mohtar emphasized the need for the exchange of ideas and experiences and for cooperation between different sectors, suggesting a tradeoff analysis platform for use in addressing the challenges facing primary resource. Such a platform will enable the development of effective solutions for mitigating climate change and conserving the ecosystem.

Panel members included Dr. Andre Khoury, Assistant Professor and Engineer of Food Technology, Faculty of Sciences, Saint Joseph University; Dr. Majida Mcheik, Head of the Program Department and Advisor to the Minister, Lebanese Ministry of Agriculture; and Dr. Riad Saade, Chairman and Board Director, Lebanese Center for Research and Agricultural Studies (CREAL). Each panelist provided a 10-15 minute intervention regarding their insights and recommendations on the following questions. How can we reduce water consumption in agriculture? How do we improve water reuse for agriculture? Water and agriculture arbitration: how to ensure greater integration in water and food policy? Fruitful discussion and lively interaction with the audience followed the interventions.

Home Features Palestinians Look Forward To Netanyahu Facing Trial!
Palestinians Look Forward To Netanyahu Facing Trial!
US Democratic presidential candidate BERNIE SANDERS marching with MacDonald's workers. He has called to treat Palestinians with 'respect and dignity'
THE indictment of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on corruption charges, a move that threatens his 10-year grip on power, dominated the front page headlines in Friday's issue of the three Palestinian Arabic dailies.
Al-Quds and al-Hayat al-Jadida reported that Netanyahu is officially indicted with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes, which moves him closer to face prosecution.
Al-Ayyam said that Netanyahu holds on to his position and lashes out at the Israeli prosecution and police.
Furthermore, al-Hayat al-Jadida said that the United Nations Security Council members, except for Washington, refuses to legalise Israeli colonial settlements in the West Bank.
Al-Quds and al-Hayat al-Jadida said that the Anti-Wall and Settlement Commission's Legal Department has foiled the fraudulent sale of 207 dunams of Palestinian land to Israeli settler-colonial groups in Masha village, west of the West Bank city of Salfit.
According to al-Quds, Luxembourg urged the European Union to recognise the Palestinian state in response to the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's declaration on Israeli colonial settlements.
It said that Russian President Vladimir Putin received Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos III in Moscow, and expressed his support for the latter's efforts to safeguard church property, particularly in Jerusalem.
According to al-Quds and al-Ayyam, Israeli forces demolished a Palestinian shack in Khallet Ad-Dabi' to the east of Yatta in the southern West Bank district of Hebron.
They added that Israeli settlers set fire to a large tract of Palestinian land in Burqa village, northwest of Nablus.
Al-Quds said that Israeli forces seized a Palestinian excavator to the south of the West Bank city of Nablus.
The dailies said that Israeli occupation authorities released Jerusalem Governor Adnan Ghaith, head of the Education Directorate of Jerusalem Samir Jibril and head of the Student Parents' Council of Jerusalem Ziad Shamali.
Al-Quds and al-Ayyam said that Israeli President Reuven Rivlin hands over the mandate with the formation of the new government to the Knesset to prevent third elections.
Al-Quds highlighted the Times report.
It spotlighted US Senator Bernie Sanders' comments calling for treating the Palestinian people with 'respect and dignity'.
According to al-Ayyam and al-Hayat al-Jadida, President Mahmoud Abbas received the former Knesset speaker Avraham Burg at the presidential headquarters in Ramallah.
Burg was reported in al-Hayat al-Jadida stating that there is a Palestinian partner for peace, there has to be an Israeli partner to make peace.
According to al-Ayyam, Israeli forces prevented a Palestinian police force from storming a drug cultivation plant to the east of the West Bank city of Nablus.
Premier Muhammad Shtayyeh was reported in al-Hayat al-Jadida commending all states that have slammed US remarks on Israeli colonial settlements.
It said that Palestinians staged sit-ins protesting the closure of several Palestinian institutions by Israeli police in Jerusalem.
The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office was reported in al-Hayat al-Jadida reiterating that the position of the UK on Israeli colonial settlements has not changed, and describing them as illegal under international law.
Al-Hayat al-Jadida said that the UK Labour Party's manifesto declares that the party will recognise the Palestinian state immediately if it comes to power.
The Iranian Armed Forces' joint military drills codenamed 'Modafe'an-e Aseman-e Velayat 98' (Guardians of Velayat's Sky-98) entered its second day on Friday in the Central province of Semnan, in a bid to boost preparedness in the face of potential threats in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz from the United States.
The Iranian Air Force units started the second day of their large-scale military exercises this morning with various types of state-of-the- art missile and radar systems – designed and built at home – boasting their counteroffensive power against different aerial threats.
The military drill is being held over an area of 416,000 square kilometres in the central province of Semnan, simulating the Persian Gulf general area and the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
Speaking on the sidelines of the manoeuvre on Thursday, Commander of the Iranian Army's Air Defence Force Brigadier General Alireza Sabahi Fard said the first phase of the drill features detecting and identifying enemy targets, while in the next phase radar system will engage airborne targets.
He warned against any violation of Iranian airspace, which he described as the country's 'redline'.
The drill is aimed at testing the country's latest military equipment and to enhance its preparedness in the face of potential threats in the simulated conditions of real war. The drill includes various types of homegrown missile systems and radars countering aerial threats in low, medium and high altitudes.
The first phase of the drill, held on Thursday, featured detecting and identifying enemy targets, while the second phase will involve radar systems engaging airborne targets.
On Tuesday, USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) sailed through the Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of all oil consumed globally passes.
In June, Iran's air defences shot down a US-made RQ-4 Global Hawk unmanned aircraft system (UAS), which was sent on a spying mission into the Islamic Republic's skies.
Iran has conducted major military drills in recent years to enhance the defence capabilities of its Armed Forces and to test modern military tactics and state-of-the-art equipment.
Each year, the country inaugurates a host of new projects and hardware developed with reliance on domestic capabilities. The Islamic Republic maintains that its defence power is driven by deterrence and poses no threat to any other country.
In a relevant development on Tuesday, the Ground Force of Iran's Army started large-scale military drills in the country's Northwestern region, in a bid to further boost the combat readiness of its units.
Codenamed 'Zolfaghar-e-Velayat', the military drills of the Iranian Army's Ground Forces started this morning in a vast strategic area in the Northwestern parts of the country.
Various divisions of the Army Ground Force are participating in the drill, which is focused on practising the transfer of rapid reaction units via ground and air from across the country to operation zones. The enlisted units will also display their efficacy and work to enhance their readiness in responding to operational requirements and threats through day and night.
The United States must act responsibly to protect the lives of its soldiers in the region. A top IRGC commander is warning that Iran is ready to respond to any threat by using defensive and offensive measures.
'Washington has to act responsibly in protecting and not endangering the lives of American soldiers by avoiding any mistakes in the region, specifically in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz,' Major General Gholam Ali Rashid said on Friday.
Rashid, commander of the IRGC's Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, added that Tehran did not seek war, but that branches across Iran's Army and IRGC forces were always prepared to defend Iran's interests.
He added that Iran's ability to repel any 'provocative action' is increasing in a 'coordinated manner.'
The senior IRGC commander made the comments on the sidelines of a joint military drill, code-named Guardians of Velayat Sky-98, being held over an area of 416,000 square kilometres in the central province of Semnan.
The military exercise seeks to simulate combat in the Persian Gulf and the strategic Strait of Hormuz area.
Various types of state-of-the-art missile and radar systems – designed and built at home – will counter different aerial threats during the exercise.
The military drill comes after Washington's USS Abraham Lincoln sailed through the Strait of Hormuz and entered the Persian Gulf on Tuesday.
On the same day, US President Donald Trump announced the deployment of the first batch of previously promised troops in Saudi Arabia. There will be a total of 3,000 troops in the 'coming weeks.'
The troops are being deployed to 'assure' Washington's regional partners and 'deter further Iranian provocative behaviour,' Trump said.
Washington, along with its regional allies such as Riyadh, has sought to couple economic sanctions with the prospect of military action as part of a campaign of 'maximum pressure' against Tehran.
Speaking regarding the developments on Friday, Rashid said 'sending messages and words' were not enough to deter Iran's enemies.
'Suitable measures and actions are needed,' he added.

Hope NBA 2K17 will give you a surprise
The following month, it went on to become best-selling video game in the US, next only to the Xbox One-exclusive "Halo 5: Guardians," according to the report of the NPD Group, notes Gamespot. nba 2k17 mt You start off by selecting NBA 2k17 and then play two matches. While the presentation is done well – playing in a small high school gym – the games are boring and feature no announcers. After high school, you're given the option to select one of nine colleges to attend. You then have to play four college games but while they feature authentic colleges, the games once again feel like a chore to play through.
Luckily, the high school games and college games are only eight minutes and 12 minutes long, respectively. Year after year, the NBA 2K series sets the bar as high for its game as any franchise—no matter the genre. The game was stacked with so many features last year, it felt like seven games in one. With NBA Live offering some semblance of competition, 2K Sports and developers Visual Concepts have added even more to this year's title. After you're drafted by an NBA team, you have eight games to play in the first season, each game is followed by a very long cutscene that goes along with Spike Lee's story.
While the story isn't bad, fans may be turned off by a rookie season with games that have no outcome on the story. "'NBA 2K17,' the newest iteration of the top-rated video game simulation series for the last 15 years, will feature the most extensive soundtrack in 'NBA 2K' history with three genre-defining collaborators at the helm – legendary hip-hop producer DJ Premier, renowned producer DJ Khaled, and super-producer DJ Mustard. nba 2k17 coins As one of the most successful entertainment properties of the last decade, 'NBA 2K17's' partnership brings together their unique creative direction in curating more than 50 tracks and contributing a total of six new exclusive tracks to this year's title."
After you finish your rookie season, the Spike Lee story ends and you're taken into year two of your career, this is where MyCareer really shines. Instead of just playing game after game after game. "NBA 2K's" card-collecting mode is back once again with a few new changes. This year, 2K Sports added a new mode called The Gauntlet – a three-on-three blacktop game. The mode allows you to select one player from your list of collected players and then gives you two random players to use. You play through a series of 10 games, selecting one player each time.
Every time you win, you're allowed to select a certain amount of MyTeam cards from a big board. Lose three times and you're done. It's a fun mode that is a welcomed change to the mode. The part about animation and smoother movement is interesting. NBA 2K17 was already 1080p and 60fps on both the Xbox One and PS4. NBA 2K17 is set to make the animation even more realistic than before. EA Sports has already confirmed NBA Live 16, so 2K Sports is always trying to one-up the competition.
It's also not surprising to see that NBA 2K16 will see the return of the MyPlayer mode. This has been a huge mode in both NBA 2K14 and NBA 2K17. Hopefully with this year's game, your save files are not attached to the online servers. The predecessor game of "NBA 2K17", the "NBA 2K16," was the top-selling video game in October 2014 so the current game experienced a one-rank slide this year. Rounding up the top five best-selling video games for October 2015 were "Assassin's Creed: Syndicate," "Madden NFL 16," and "WWE 2K17."

Simple, download, unzip, set JAVA_HOME and start here the JBoss wiki should help.
But I suppose you do not mean this.
So what you meant by 'a REMOTE'?
I assume that by "remote" you mean that you have only ssh access to the machine. In that case, download the JBoss AS binary zip file to your PC, then use scp to copy the zip file to the Ubuntu box. Then do the steps Wolf-Dieter outlined.
I suspect that you could also ssh to the Ubuntu machine and then use a command line http utility to get the zip file, but you would first have to get the full URL for the zip file.
