Cozy Comfy Fantasy* Booklist
*mostly
Sometimes you need the book equivalent of a big blanket. Is there a name for the subgenre "sort of quiet books revolving around the home, chores, farming, old-school witchery or a connection with/knowledge of nature; with a strong, small-scale sense of place?" Anyone know what I mean? Please contribute with reblogs if you have any recommendations!
