The Cozy Rose Book Community is a place for readers and writers to enjoy reading a new book each month. The selections are voted on each month by the members and focus on cozy women’s fiction, cozy mystery, small town romance, romantic suspense and other similar genres. If you have been wanting to connect with other readers to enjoy and discuss a book a month, join us in the Cozy Rose!

vote for your fave

Every month members enjoy a new theme to choose a book from. I post 4-5 titles and members vote on which selection they would most like to read. Examples of possible monthly themes include—spooky season, beach reads, cozy cafe, etc.

Time can get away from you when it comes to making time to read. So, each month I host a live reading sprint where we gather to chat a bit and read for two twenty minute sprints. It’s fun and rewarding! Bring your animals and fave tea!

The best part about being a part of a book community is talking about the book! You get to hear what other members thought about it, but the best part is we connect, laugh, and get to gossip about the characters while sipping wine or tea.
