Welcome to the Cozy Owlet, a home for all things bookish, with a particular love for cozy mysteries, snarky fantasy, and all things meta-fictional. If you love engaging critically with your reading, and you enjoy deep-dives into classics old and new, you’re in the right place.

A little about me: I’ve been an avid reader of mysteries and adventures since before I could walk, and I’ve been wanting a place to think a bit more critically about these types of fiction. While I’m certainly not an expert literary critic, I like to think about the ways my favorite books relate to each other, and how writers pull off their magic, and I want to share some of that thinking. I’ll also be reviewing some newer books, in their own spot – but I definitely want a mix!

I started this blog about a year back and it’s been such a fun ride! I’ve learned a ton about reading, writing, and the genres I love – and I’ve been lucky enough to build a community while doing it. I’d love for you to stick around! For now I try to post at least once a week, ideally twice a week (general posts on Mondays, ARC reviews later).
