Cozy mysteries are comfort reads for a reason: they’re puzzle-forward, character-rich, and meant to feel satisfying—not stressful. In this week’s Love of Reading feature, you’ll learn what makes a mystery “cozy,” explore the most-loved cozy tropes (from village life to bookish sleuths), and use a simple step-by-step method to find a story that fits your mood. Plus, grab vintage-friendly recommendations by cozy “lane,” and browse the collection. 💛

This week’s Reading Vintage arrivals include a stunning 12-volume Audubon encyclopedia set, cookie and candy cookbooks, vintage recipe binders, aviation finds, and linen postcards. Plus, a collector-friendly guide to book bundles as starter collections—the easiest way to begin a themed shelf.
