When I finally settled on cozy historical mystery, I found my “home.” Before that wrote in a myriad of genres including YA, romance, and science fiction. I’ve been writing cozy mysteries for two years now. *What’s your experience writing cozy mysteries versus other genres? The 1930s is a very interesting time in world and American history.

No matter how prestige-y, streamers are ultimately in the business of making content to fold laundry to. The things that work best in comics - a contained story, a unique style, vivid colors and textures - all go against the Netflix style. If your episode doesn’t end in a cliffhanger, Netflix will most likely make you insert a cliff, then make you hang off it.

January needs a place to write her novel. Years later the two find themselves living in the same town. While they were in college Augustus made a comment that January interpreted as disparaging both her person and her writing. January, our lead and narrator, has a bit of a chip on her shoulder when it comes to Augustus. This is yet another novel that seems to hint at an ‘enemies-to-lovers’ romance but in actuality the two leads are never truly enemies or hostile towards each other. Personally, while I do enjoy romance books, I usually prefer them to be less cheesy…and while certain scenes or lines in Beach Read did make me smile, it wasn’t quite the ‘laugh-out-loud’ read I was hoping it would be. Romance enthusiasts will undoubtedly enjoy Emily Henry’s Beach Read. ![]() |
